How can I send a parameter through activating an event?

Asked 194 views1 answers
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)
