Is it possible to connect more than one MouseButton1Click event to one button?

I’m trying to make a system where a sound is played when any gui button is pressed.

I don’t want to have to go through each localscript and find each mousebutton1click event, so I’m trying to see if I can write a more general script that plays the sound every time any button is pressed.

Yes, you can do so as many times as you want but disconnect them when they are no longer used, it can cause memory leaks

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playergui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,GPE)
	local buttonList = playergui:GetGuiObjectsAtPosition(mouse.X, mouse.Y)
	if #buttonList ~= 0 then 
		for _,x in buttonList do
			if x:IsA("ImageButton") then
				-- code that fires after pressing any image button here
				break
			end
		end
	end
end)

This code detects every GUI element under cursor in the moment of a mouse click/screen tap. Then it iterates through every one of it, and if it is a imagebutton then it runs the code you want. If you want it to detect textbuttons, just add elseif x:IsA(“TextButton”).
