local gameSettings = UserSettings().GameSettings
local function onGameSettingChanged(nameOfSetting)
-- Fetch the value of this setting through a pcall to make sure we can retrieve it.

local canGetSetting, setting = pcall(function()
return gameSettings[nameOfSetting]
end)
if canGetSetting then
print("Your " .. nameOfSetting .. " has changed to: " .. tostring(setting))
end
