Which option is best to keep an overview and will I have to use from now on?
Hi, I would like to know which of the options below is the best for detecting when a player enters the game. Then I know immediately which one I will use from now on.
Option 1:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local function PlayerAdded(Player)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)
Option 2:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
end)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local function PlayerAdded(Player)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)
I really like the idea of this design and it would probably be cleaner. Performance-wise I think that option 2 would load quicker because it doesn't have to go through the function before the event if you know what I mean

They are very similar and in this case, they complete the same tasks. However option 1 allows many different events to fire that one function while option 2 only allows one single event to fire that specific function. For example: Option 1
local function SayHi()
print("Hi")
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(SayHi)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(SayHi)
This would print Hi when the player leaves AND joins.
