Carry over a variable from one function to another

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I have a script that changes pages by gathering data from a module script, and depending on what the value of page depends which section of the module script is called. The problem is, when I change the value of page in one function, the data from it doesn’t carry over into my other function for when another textbutton is pressed.

Script:

local module = require (game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.Teams)
local page = 1
local Button1 = script.Parent.Button1.TextButton
local Button2 = script.Parent.Button2.TextButton
local confirmteam = script.Parent.Play.TextButton
local teamselected = script.Parent["Team Lable"]

local TotalPages = 16


Button1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
	if page >=1 and page < TotalPages then
		page = page + 1
		print(page)
	elseif page < 1 then
		page = 1
	else if page > TotalPages then
			page = TotalPages
		end
	end
	
end)

local curentpagenumber = module[page]


confirmteam.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
	print(curentpagenumber.name)
end)

you are almost there. You just need to change it to:

confirmteam.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
	print(module[page].name)
end)

this is because you already save the var local page = 1 outside of Button1.MouseButton1Click:Connect
