Is it possible to put parameters in events like MouseEnter?
Hello.
I want to ask if it is possible to put parameters in event functions like MouseEnter.
For instance, take this MouseEnter script:
1 | function Gr8() |
2 |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.JusticeEndo.MouseEnter:connect(GR8); |
How could you put parameters into something like that!? Is that possible using this method? Are there other methods? Please help, thanks.

What do you mean by "put parameters"? Explain what you are trying to accomplish. BlueTaslem 18071 — 10y

I want to accomplish this: function PrintStuff(x) <--- The x inside parenthesis is the PARAMETER. However, I want to do it with an event. Arithmeticity 167 — 10y

The arguments supplied by an event are defined by the implementation of that event in the ROBLOX API. There is no way to modify how such events behave, including what data they send as arguments. duckwit 1404 — 10y

So we cannot add parameters into the event huh? Arithmeticity 167 — 10y

Just run the function in an anonymous function passed to the event (Nested Functions).
1 | local function bork(one,two) |
2 | print(one.." slipped on a "..two.."!") |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) --anonymous function fired when player is added, with player passed as an argument |
6 | bork(player.Name,"banana") ------------------> "Arithmeticity slipped on a banana!" |
7 | end) |

Like duckwit said, you can't directly pass in 'extra' arguments, but you can do this:
1 | function foo(bar) |
2 | print(bar) |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.JusticeEndo.MouseEnter:connect(function() |
6 | foo("FOR DAMACIA!") |
7 | end) |

I solved the problem, and thank you! To solve the problem: I used two functions, the MouseEnter event would fire and go into one function which in turn goes into another function to activate the effect(s). Arithmeticity 167 — 10y
