Script isn't detecting a change with a BoolValue (Roblox Studio) - lua

Question

I'm trying to make a procedurally generating game (ignore the goal of the game).
Currently I'm trying to make it so when you walk over a grid piece and collide with an invisible part it makes that specific grid piece the Current Global Object (CGO).
Using a BoolValue I made it possible to use this as some form of global variable, but whenever I try to use said value it only detects it as false even when it is indeed showing as true in the Explorer. It only works when I set the value to true BEFORE testing the game.
Here's the code in the script that's meant to detect the value:
it's a regular script and not a LocalScript fyi
local CGO = "0,0"
local tracker = game.Workspace.Tracker00
--local CGOa = tracker.CGOa
local trackerPos = tracker.Position
local trackerX = trackerPos.X
local trackerY = trackerPos.Y
local trackerZ = trackerPos.Z
while true do
while tracker.CGOa.Value == false do
tracker.YVal.Value = 7
print("Set TrackerYVal to 7")
wait()
if tracker.CGOa.Value == true then
break
end
end
while tracker.CGOa.Value == true do
tracker.YVal.Value = 14
print("Set TrackerYVal to 14")
wait()
end
tracker.CFrame = CFrame.new(trackerX, trackerY, trackerZ)
wait()
end
Any help would be much appreciated.

Rather than using infinite while loops, consider listening for the Changed signal. It's possible that the break command might be escaping both loops.
local tracker = game.Workspace.Tracker00
tracker.CGOa.Changed:Connect(function(newVal)
print("CGOa changed to ", newVal)
if newVal then
tracker.YVal.Value = 14
print("Set TrackerYVal to 14")
else
tracker.YVal.Value = 7
print("Set TrackerYVal to 7")
end
-- update the tracker position based on newly updated values
local x = tracker.XVal.Value
local y = tracker.YVal.Value
local x = tracker.ZVal.Value
tracker.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(x, y, z))
end)
I made some assumptions about how you were positioning the tracker, because the old code would reset its position after every loop.
