Are you able to listen for all clickdetector events?

Asked 279 views1 answers

Hey I'm trying to listen for all the clickdetector MouseClick event without doing all the functions manually because i have 100 parts to check. I'm trying to do this for my a* algorithm but I'm stuck.

local tab = {}
local closed = {}
local open = {}

for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	if v.Name == 'Part' then
		tab[#tab + 1] = v
		Instance.new("ClickDetector", v)
	end
end



math.randomseed(tick())
local r = math.random(1,#tab)
local startingPoint = tab[r]
startingPoint.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Really red')
local cl = startingPoint:FindFirstChild('ClickDetector')
cl:Destroy()

Yes. You can listen to all ClickDetectors events. Here is an example that I made for you:

local ClickDetectors = {}

  

for _, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do -- This will get everything that is in the Workspace.

if v:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("ClickDetector") then -- This will check if it has a ClickDetector in it.

table.insert(ClickDetectors,v) -- This will insert the part in the table we just created. (local ClickDetectors = {})

end

end

  

print(#ClickDetectors) -- This will print the number of elements inside the table. This is optional.
--// Don't use getn !!! 
  

for _, v in pairs(ClickDetectors) do -- This will get everything from the table.

v.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function() -- This will listen for the event MouseClick from every ClickDetector

print("Clicked!")

end)

end

  

-- Now, if you click any Part it will print once "Clicked!".

I hope I helped you.
