Give multiple buttons same function?
I've been working on an inventory GUI, so far so good but I dont quite understand how I give multiple buttons the same function. I want all buttons to have a glow effect when the player's mouse hovers over them. I know I could give them the function individually but I feel thats not efficient.
local items = {
item1 = itemselect.Item1,
item2 = itemselect.Item2,
item3 = itemselect.Item3,
item4 = itemselect.Item4,
item5 = itemselect.Item5,
item6 = itemselect.Item6,
item7 = itemselect.Item7,
item8 = itemselect.Item8,
}
for i,v in pairs(items) do
print(i,v)
end
I was told to use a for i,v pair loop but this still doesn't answer my question.

you use MouseEnter and MouseLeave in the for loop ( v.MouseEnter:Connect(function() *glow up* end) ) radusavin366 617 — 6y

You're on the right track. All you need to do is connect a function to the MouseHover event for each button.
local items = {
item1 = itemselect.Item1,
item2 = itemselect.Item2,
item3 = itemselect.Item3,
item4 = itemselect.Item4,
item5 = itemselect.Item5,
item6 = itemselect.Item6,
item7 = itemselect.Item7,
item8 = itemselect.Item8,
}
for _, v in pairs(items) do -- loop through each item
v.MouseHover:Connect(function()--connect a function to the mousehover event for each item
-- do something ......……
end)
end
