local taskbar = script.Parent
local main = script.Parent.Parent.Applications.Main
for i,v in pairs(taskbar:GetChildren()) do
local Value = v.AppName.Value
v.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
main.["Value"].Visible = true
end)
end
So that is what i have right now. i am doing this to save my time so if i ever need to change the name of the frame i dont need to change a script.
Do
local taskbar = script.Parent
local main = script.Parent.Parent.Applications.Main
for i,v in pairs(taskbar:GetChildren()) do
local Value = v.AppName.Value
v.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
main.[Value].Visible = true
end)
end
Just delete the quotes
Ok if you came here to find out how to do it so you want to get the value of the string value.
so to get the value you need to do .Value
local Value = script.Parent.Parent.StringValue.Value
--then to get the value into directory do
script.Parent[Value].Whatever
--so there in place of Whatever you could change a property or Anything really.

Replace line 8 with "main[Value].Visible = true"
