How do i select the clickdetector of many buttons in a folder?
So, I am making an elevator that has a fading gui when you click a button, just to clarify, this script isn't mine, but how do i get the clickdetector of every part in the folder?
01 | local Frame = script.Parent |
02 | local Buttons = game.Workspace.Buttons:GetChildren() |
03 | local ClickDetector = -- i wanna get the clickdetector of many parts with the same name in a folder here |
04 | local TweenS = game:GetService("TweenService") |
05 | local Db = false |
06 | local FadeTime = 3 |
07 | ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function() |
08 | if not Db then |
09 | Db = true |
10 | TweenS:Create(Frame,TweenInfo.new(0.5),{BackgroundTransparency = 0}):Play() |
11 | task.wait(FadeTime) |
12 | TweenS:Create(Frame,TweenInfo.new(0.5),{BackgroundTransparency = 1}):Play() |
13 | task.wait(FadeTime) |
14 | Db = false |
15 | end |
16 | end) |

If you are looking to get every click detector inside a given folder (either as a child of a child, child of a child of a child, etc..):
you can use GetDescendants() and IsA(), both respectfully getting every object inside an object, and checking if a Roblox object is a specific type
01 | local ClickDetectors = {} |
02 | local Folder = workspace:WaitForChild('ClickDetectors') |
03 | -- change this to the location of your folder |
04 |
05 | for __index, __object in ipairs(Folder:GetDescendants()) do |
06 | if __object:IsA('ClickDetector') then |
07 | table.insert(ClickDetectors, __object) |
08 | -- or do something with '__object' |
09 | -- as it is confirmed to be a clickdetector |
10 | end |
11 | end |
fyi i have not personally tested this code myself

Consider changing __object.Mouseclick to __object.MouseClick (case sensitivity threw an error for me), other than that, the implementation looks fine loowa_yawn 383 — 2y
