Do I need a ton of different scripts to run my GUIs (textbuttons etc)?
Not exactly a question about specific code, but I'm curious about just how many scripts I need for things like text buttons and other GUI assets. Should I have a local script under every text button to make it run easier, or should I make a GUI master script? Is there a benefit to one or the other? Does it even matter?

Most of the time only 1, sometimes it can be 2, and sometimes it can be 3. It's really really unlikely for someone to use 4 scripts for that scenario. TheOnlySmarts 233 — 5y

typically i think its better practice to confine gui related stuff to a single script. ie id want a character creation menu to be handled by one local script (the gui stuff anyways) Gey4Jesus69 2705 — 5y

I realize that it's probably better practice, but are there any kind of performance issues with tons of local scripts or am I just exaggerating? lolzmac 207 — 5y

More scripts will increase the physical size of the game, but I don't think it will cause any performance hit unless you are running a ton of loops and stuff inside each script. SteamG00B 1633 — 5y

Scripts aren't physical. What are you on about. User#24403 69 — 5y

The performance difference, if any, is negligible. But you can use one whole script for maintainability. User#24403 69 — 5y

So the only issue with multiple local scripts is efficiency of the code? lolzmac 207 — 5y

@incapaxian I never said scripts were physical? I said that it will increase the physical size of the game, as in there will be more physical storage space required to hold the game. SteamG00B 1633 — 5y

In my personal preference I would use only one script as it’s easier
