Parameters in connection lines?
Is there any way to use parameters inside of a connection line? For example, if I had a function like this:
1 | function awesomesupercoolfunction(parameter) |
2 | print("Wow, " ..parameter .." is great.") |
3 | end |
And I wanted it to fire on a MouseEnter event,
1 | creativenameforabutton.MouseEnter:connect(awesomesupercoolfunction) |
or something like that, how would I go about doing this?
I tried
1 | creativenameforabutton.MouseEnter:connect(awesomesupercoolfunction(parameter)) |
just in case it was that simple, but it wasn't. Is there any way to do this? I can accomplish what I want to do without it, it would just make the process much more simple. Any help would be appreciated!

Connect a new function
I know, it's not convenient, but it's the only way you're going to be able to give a generic function like that access to things like closures from inside a connection line.
1 | MouseEnter:connect(function() |
2 | return mySuperAwesomeFunc(thatParameterYouAlwaysWanted) |
3 | end); |

Ah, darn. That's what I meant when I said I could do it without it. Well, thanks anyhow! Pyrondon 2089 — 9y
