Hello fellow scripters, I have a question to ask. Is it possible to get/fire the function of a RbxScriptConnection? For example, let’s define a localscript that adds a .Touched connection to a part, which prints “hello” when it’s fired. And let’s say I have another localscript. Can I get/fire the function of this connection?
This question has begged my mind for a long time because exploiters can do this. I wonder if I can replicate this to possibly see how it works.
If u wanna print hello after the player touches the part, use remote event if im correct.
Hello.
If you’re wondering you can call a function in a script from another script, then the answer is yes.
Bindable events are events that connect one script to another. You can call BindableEvent:Fire() on one script, and BindableEvent.Event to create a connection.
I hope this helped!
I’m talking about firing a connected event.
only if you are using a remote and bindable function or event
I know about bindable events, but is there any way I can fire RobloxConnections? Like Part.Touched:Fire(arguments)
prev reply suppose to answer you question
Well I guess there is no way huh.
You actually can, if im right heres the script
local myEvent = Instance.new(“BindableEvent”)
local myConnection = myEvent.Event:Connect(function()
print(“Hello, world!”)
end)
myEvent:fire()
No, you can’t get the function from a connection nor fire the connection yourself. I think the best approach is to define the connected function as a separate variable and call it yourself.
function foo()
print("Hello World")
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(foo)
foo()
Since you want to share it across different scripts, consider storing this function in a ModuleScript.
Also, perhaps, you would have more control over it if you used a library like Signal | RbxUtil (sleitnick.github.io). But even with this, you can’t get the function from the connection.

Change this layout:
Event:Connect(function()
end)
To this layout:
local function test()
end
Event:Connect(test)
-- later:
test()
I know, but that’s not what I’m trying to do. I already found a solution for what I was aiming for. Thank you all.
It would help everybody if you posted the solution.
My thread wasn’t about that. It was about firing NORMAL events, not bindable events. That’s why I didn’t pick yours as the solution.
