For example, a button, is it possible to activate the click detector on a button without actually clicking it in lua ?
Yes you can. Here is an example that may help.
function OnClick() --The function for what the button does. print("BoxedHouses Rules!") --You dont have to keep this, it's an example. --What you want the button to do here. end game.Workspace.button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(OnClick()) --Calls the function when the button is pressed. --Here is your code. game.Workspace.car.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")--You dont have to keep this, it's an example. OnClick()--Calls the function without needing to press the button.
If it helps, please accept the answer, and if it doesn't, tell me any errors.
