I don’t know how you set up the script but when I placed it in a server script it worked fine for me. Double check and ensure that everything’s named properly and there aren’t duplicate “Buttons” in the workspace.

You forgot to capitalize the :Connect when you connected the ClickDetector to the function OnMouseClick(), by the way, capitalization matters in LUA so make sure you enable the Autocomplete feature, If you want to enable it then go to File then Studio settings then Script Editor then search for Autocomplete and enable it if you want.

local clickDetector = game.Workspace.Button.ClickDetector

function onMouseClick()
print(“You clicked the button wow that was pretty useless!”)
end

clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(onMouseClick) -- Capatalize the Connect!

I think because you are using this ” instead of this " and you don’t have to Capatalize the Connect but you can if you want.

local clickDetector = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Button").ClickDetector

local function onMouseClick()
    print(“You clicked the button wow that was pretty useless!”)
end

clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(onMouseClick)

Functions should almost always be local, as well as Connect being uppercase. I added the WaitForChild, simply to see if it exists. If it errors ("Infinite yield possible on “game.Workspace:WaitForChild(“Button”)”), then “Button” doesn’t exist and that’s another problem. :slightly_smiling_face:

The button wont work isn’t a good description. Any errors or what?

#11

You have to capitalize it… Give it a try yourself.

#12

I’ve already try it, and it worked properly

#13

Cause you had it capitalized, Get a button and try doing the :connect without capitalizing it like this :Connect Also Roblox’s automatic auto-completion clearly says :Connect and not :connect

#14

Dude, I’ve already try it, maybe you should try it yourself.

#15

Bruh, Sorry I actually just tried it but It is probably best to use :Connect

#16

Is this on a script? try changing it to a local script if so. I can’t see any other problem that may be causing the issue.

#17

Yes, I use it capitalized but just saying.

#19

ok i’ve tried all the solution but for some reason it still doesn’t work??

#20 
local clickDetector = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Button").ClickDetector

local function onMouseClick()
    print("You clicked the button wow that was pretty useless!") -- "" instead of “”
end

clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(onMouseClick)

Does this work?
