How can I send a parameter through activating an event?

function onMouseClick(flame)
    if cooldown then
        cooldown = false
        if flame == 1 then
            onOrOff(sp.flame1.Flame,sp.flame1.Sparks)
        elseif flame == 2 then
            onOrOff(sp.flame2.Flame,sp.flame2.Sparks)
        elseif flame == 3 then
            onOrOff(sp.flame3.Flame,sp.flame3.Sparks)
        elseif flame == 4 then
            onOrOff(sp.flame4.Flame,sp.flame4.Sparks)
        elseif flame == 5 then
            onOrOff(sp.flame5.Flame,sp.flame5.Sparks)
        end
        wait(1)
        cooldown = true
    end
end

clickDetector1.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick(1))
clickDetector2.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick(2))
clickDetector3.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick(3))
clickDetector4.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick(4))
clickDetector5.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick(5))

What i want to do is use a parameter for onMouseClick(5) so they all go to one function, but that does't seem possible. What's the best way for me to do this?

You'd likely have to create an anonymous function during the connection and call your OnMouseClick function from there, like so:

(replace this code with what you have on lines 20-24)

clickDetector1.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    onMouseClick(1)
end)

clickDetector2.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    onMouseClick(2)
end)

clickDetector3.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    onMouseClick(3)
end)

clickDetector4.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    onMouseClick(4)
end)

clickDetector5.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    onMouseClick(5)
end)
