Can you connect a non-anonymous function to ChildRemoved event?
Basically, I want to connect a function to child removed event like so
local folder = workspace.Folder
local function onRemove(itemRemoved)
-- how can i get the folder that the item was removed from?
end
folder.ChildRemoved:Connect(onRemove)
I want to write a function once and connect it to many different folders; however, I don't know how to access the folder because i cant do
local function onRemove(itemRemoved)
itemRemoved.Parent
end
because the itemRemoved has had its parent changed.
Does anyone know a way to get the parent it was removed from without doing an anonymous function?

All functions in lua are anonymous. They don't have names User#19524 175 — 5y

No. That's merely its variable that references it. User#19524 175 — 5y

Okay, I figured out what i can do. When this event is fired, I just run a different function inside of that one. PoePoeCannon 519 — 5y

If anyone comes across this situation in the future, one thing I did to fix this is create a function and run it inside of the connected event function like so
local folder = workspace.Folder
local function onRemove(itemRemoved)
end
folder.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(itemRemoved)
onRemove(itemRemoved) -- call the function here and pass the value
end)
