How to pass values into an event?
1 | function test(var) |
2 | print(var) |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | test("hello") |
will print "hello"
How do I pass a value into an event e.g.
1 | function test(p,var) |
2 | print(var) |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(test("hello")) |
returns error
1 | 21:17:26.792 - Attempt to connect failed: Passed value is not a function |
2 | 21:17:26.793 - Stack Begin |
3 | 21:17:26.793 - Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 5 |
4 | 21:17:26.794 - Stack End |
5 | 21:17:26.794 - attempt to call a nil value |
Is it possible to pass values when calling a function like with the first example but with an event?
Thank you in advance to anyone that helps. If anything is unclear just leave a comment and I will try to explain.

your issue here that the argument passed for Connect has to be a function. What you are doing is passing nothing. You are actually calling the test function and getting it to print before it even connects to PlayerAdded.
The fix for this is to make an entirely new function that will, in turn, fire your test function
1 | function test(p,var) |
2 | print(var) |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
6 | test(player, "hello") |
7 | end) |
Notice how instead of calling the function (which would return nothing for the connection), I made an entirely new function that handles the connection and the print separately
Hope this helped!
