Handle buttons created by server (UI)

[shlyapniq]

I have a sign that upon Equipping shows all gamepasses by the user, kinda like in pls donate. Creation is handled by server, and i am wondering what is the optimal way to handle activations of those buttons? Make a localscript to parse through every tool equipped by any player and check if its a sign and has speciefic buttons?

Use collection service

( GetInstanceAddedSignal, GetTagged )

One option would be to utilize CollectionService, basically, when ever a Tool (your sign) is added into the game (i.e., in someone’s inventory), you will assign it a tag.

In some LocalScript on the client, you will listen for these tags using the signal GetInstanceAddedSignal, when your specific tag is added to a sign and the signal picks it up, you will parse through the sign’s UI to find the buttons and connect them to the appropriate input signals (like MouseButton1Click or Activated, etc).

Thank you for info about CollectionService, but now im facing another problem:

For some reason theese buttons created by server are visible to local scripts, but they are not firing activated Event, heres the local script:

function handle(sf)
	wait(0.5)
	for i,v : TextButton in pairs(sf:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA('TextButton') then
			print('Found Button')
			v.Activated:Connect(function()
				print('Activated')
			--	game.MarketplaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(game.Players.LocalPlayerm,v.idofgamepass.Value)
			end)
		end
	end
end

cs:GetInstanceAddedSignal('donationui'):Connect(function(surfacegui)
	print('Detected')
	handle(surfacegui.ScrollingFrame)
end)

It prints, but doesnt react on clicking, could it be because its a tool parented to LocalPlr.Character?

Detected
Found Button 3x

Dont really know how different Activated is to MouseButton1Click
I just use the latter; it supports all other platforms eitherway
