Way to tell if Mouse is hovering over a TextButton, or ImageButton?
This is the code I tried.
-- LOCAL VARIABLES --
Player =game.Players.LocalPlayer;
Mouse =Player:GetMouse();
MouseDefaultIcon ="http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=265193813"
MouseHoverIcon =""
MouseClickIcon =""
Mouse.MouseEnter:connect(function()
if Mouse.MouseEnter.className == "TextButton" or "ImageButton" then
Player.Character.Health = 0
end
end)
I wanted to make this so I don't have to re-script the MouseIcon every for every ImageButton or TextButton.
I did Player.Character.Health = 0 just to test if it works. It does not currently, please help! Thanks!

Solution:
GUI elements have an event called MouseEntered(). It does exactly what the name implies; fires when the player's mouse enters the GUI object.
Make sure you're using a local script with local player. The reason for this is GUIs and the mouse are client-sided; it only pertains to the player that is running the script. The server does not control your mouse; you control your mouse.
Application:
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
game.PlayerGui.TextButton.MouseEnter:connect(function() -- Fires when mouse enters TextButton (or any GUI element such as ImageButton)
player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0 -- Kills the player
end)
And if you want, there's also another event called 'MouseLeave'. It does the exact opposite -- fires when the player's mouse leaves the GUI element.
