How do I make that every button has a name of a tool?
Hello, I have a problem. There are 4 text buttons and 3 tools. I want that those text button's names would be the names of the tools. It prints "It worked" 12 times and all of the button names are a one tool name.
Script:
function refresh()
print("refresh play")
for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.Frame:GetChildren()) do
if v:isA("TextButton") then
table.insert(buttons, v)
print("button added into table")
end
end
for i,v in pairs(buttons) do
for u,o in pairs(player.items:GetChildren()) do
buttons[i].Text = o.Name
print("it worked")
end
end
end
wait(10)
refresh()
Thank you.

The issue lies in the loop
for i,v in pairs(buttons) do -- button loop
for u,o in pairs(player.items:GetChildren()) do -- item loop
buttons[i].Text = o.Name
print("it worked")
end
end
end
For every button you then get all items and set the item name to the same button meaning it will be set to the last item name in the loop.
You want to store the items then index them per button
local itms = player.items:GetChildren()
for i,button in pairs(buttons) do
if itms[i] then
button.Text = itms[i].Name -- index the table of items
else
-- no tool for button
end
end
Look at using events over refresh wait loops. You only need to refresh if something changed.
I hope this helps. Please comment if you have any other question about this code.
