I am making a script for a tycoon for when you step on a button. The problem is, I don't know how to put "button" as a parameter so i can reference it in the local function. Heres the code:
local function buy(part)
--code
end
for _, button in pairs(CollectionService:GetTagged("BuyButtons")) do
button.Touched:Connect(buy)
end
Any help?
for _, button in pairs(CollectionService:GetTagged("BuyButtons")) do
button.Touched:Connect(function()
button.Transparency = 1
end)
end
Put the function directly on the Connection. Now you can know who is the part. That's make the same effect on your script.
Also if you want you can use a higher-order function (google if u don't know what that is) to do it for you.
local function buy(part)
return function()
-- Do something with part
end
end
button.Touched:Connect(buy(button))
Pls don't tho.

button.Touched:Connect(function() buy(button) end)
You can't send extra parameters with connect, only the parameters given by the function which is why we have to do this
are you also able to make "button" as a global variable?
