I am trying to make a grid of buttons, that detect the values of buttons around them (9x9 grid), doing this button by button is out of the question and no documentation seems to be useful.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I would accomplish this?

Is this what you are looking for? Otherwise, give us more details:
local gridSize = 9
local buttonSize = 50 -- set to what u need
local grid = {}
for i = 1, gridSize do
grid[i] = {}
for j = 1, gridSize do -- following lines are for actually creating the buttons
local button = Instance.new("TextButton") n
button.Parent = game.Workspace
button.Position = UDim2.new(0, (i - 1) * buttonSize, 0, (j - 1) * buttonSize)
button.Size = UDim2.new(0, buttonSize, 0, buttonSize)
grid[i][j] = button
end
end
--initialize button values, should be 81 lines here
grid[1][1].Text = "5"
grid[1][2].Text = "2"
grid[1][3].Text = "7"
-- and so forth...
local function getNeighbors(x, y)
local neighbors = {}
for i = -1, 1 do
for j = -1, 1 do
if i ~= 0 or j ~= 0 then
local nx, ny = x + i, y + j
if nx >= 1 and nx <= gridSize and ny >= 1 and ny <= gridSize then
table.insert(neighbors, grid[nx][ny])
end
end
end
end
return neighbors
end
local x, y = 5, 5 -- Example coordinate to get
local neighbors = getNeighbors(x, y)
for _, neighbor in pairs(neighbors) do
print(neighbor.Text)
end
local part = script.Parent
local db = true
local speed = 1
local numlab = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel
local aliveneighbors = 0
--while db == true do
part.hitbox.Alive:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
task.wait(speed)
local touichingparts = part.hitbox:GetTouchingParts()
for neighborsnum, parts in pairs(touichingparts) do
--
end
--end
numlab.Text = aliveneighbors
if aliveneighbors > 4 then
part.Color = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
part.hitbox.Alive.Value = false
end
end)
local value = part.hitbox.Alive.Value
part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
if value == true then
value = false
else
value = true
end
end)
Is what I have so far, cant figure out how to keep track of the number of tiles around that are true/false though
