Detecting button clicks

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Soo I have a UI that lists chattags that the player owns.

Looks like that - I want to detect when the equip button is clicked, but I don’t know how

Structure, the chattag “template” is cloned into ScrollingFrame and LocalScript is the main script

Detecting button clicks would mean using the Activated event for GuiButtons (ImageButtons and TextButtons)

You can put something like this inside of the Equip button to listen for presses (Localscript)

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
    --Code to do when button is pressed
end)

If you can’t put it in the button, just change script.Parent to where the button is located

That is a better idea than what I had

I’ll try it out and mark you as solved if it works :smile_cat:

Why not do it where you clone the tag in?
For example:

for _, chattag in pairs(chattags) do
    local t = template:Clone()
    t.Text = chattag
    t.Activated:Connect(function()
        --do whatever you want
    end)
end

Only requires 1 script, and you also get access to the variables you used when creating it.
