How do I make a scrollingframe that automatically adds buttons?

I'm assuming you mean that you have a folder of objects in ReplicatedStorage and you want to create a ScrollingFrame with a button for each object. If so, the easiest way would be to create a for loop that loops through each object and creates a button for it.
-- Make sure this is in a LocalScript
local frame = Instance.new("ScrollingFrame", game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui) -- Make sure you create a screengui to put this in
frame.Size = UDim2.new(0, 125, 0, 100)
Instance.new("UIListLayout", frame) -- Automatically spaces the buttons for you
for _,v in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.YOURFOLDER:GetChildren()) do
local button = Instance.new("TextButton", frame)
button.Text = v.Name
button.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,25,0)
end
frame.CanvasSize = UDim2.new(1,0,0,#game.ReplicatedStorage.YOURFOLDER:GetChildren()*25)
You can edit the values of the size and position of the objects in there as needed to fit your needs.
