Failed to linking function

  1. What do you want to achieve? Link global function to button

  2. What is the issue? I tried to create map styled teleport, but doesn’t show teleport window.
    This is original code that console saying “Not function”:

-- Original: Frozengaia's TeleportGUI
local panels = script.Parent
local pgui = panels.Parent.Parent
local IsStudio = game:GetService("RunService"):IsStudio()
local button
panels.Parent:WaitForChild("buttonFlame")
button = panels.Parent.buttonFlame:WaitForChild("Tele")

function calling()
	print("Called")
end

button.Activated:Connect(calling())
  1. What solutions have you tried so far? I
    used this variation, but console says not linked actually.
button.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("Main for Tele")
end)
#2

You’re calling the function when you put it in the Connect, remove the () to pass in the function itself

If you need a more visible example

button.Activated:Connect(calling)

You should write as button.Activated:Connect(calling)

Credit @EmbatTheHybrid for the solution as she posted first

Button is in other flame.

local buttons=script.Parent
local stele=buttons:WaitForChild("ShortcutTele")

buttons.buttonFlame.Tele.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("Trying")
	stele.masterScript.calling()
end)

ShortcutTele.masterScript(Script) is script in #1.

You can’t call an external function like that as calling is exclusive to that script only, you may need to use something like a BindableFunction that you invoke from other scripts

BindableFunction is new to see. I’ll check it.
