Why doesn't my function seem to register?

Asked 139 views1 answers

I'm attempting to make the simplest of functions that hides the relevant screen gui labels and buttons but I can't even get that to work.

function BPressed(Button)
	Button.Visible = false
	Button.Parent.Visible = false
end

script.Parent.OpenMenu.Battle.MouseButton1Down:Connect(BPressed(script.Parent.OpenMenu.Battle))

Whenever I try to test it instead of connecting the function it just executes the function and gives me the error "Attempt to connect failed: Passed value is not a function"

Is something the matter with my script? What's going on?

You can't specify arguments to a callback, only the signal can. If you wish to execute the function with arguments, you'll have to wrap it in an anonymous function to replace the callback.

MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	BPressed(--[[Button Path]])
end)
