Try doing that, then it should work.

#22

Is the titlescreen gui a descendant of buttons?

#23

I have a test script that does the thing i want

but I want to be able to add as many buttons as i want without copy pasting the script

#24

#25

– Should work now

-- If my calculations are correct then this **Script** should work
local Rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Buttons = script.Parent -- place this script inside buttons folder.
local ActualButtons = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("TitleScreen").Backround.Button

for i, item in pairs(Buttons:GetDescendants()) do
	if item:isA("ObjectValue") then
		for i, button in pairs(ActualButtons:GetDescendants()) do
		if string.lower(button.Name) == string.lower(tostring(item.Value)) then -- item.Value should be the button
			if button:isA("GuiButton") then
				button.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
					print("Enter")
				end)
				button.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
					print("Leave")
				end)
			end	
		end
	  end
	end
end

wait what!?! What did you change? IT WORKS!!!

#28

I added local ActualButtons —

#29

Wait… is a frame named “Button” supposed to be added for every new button?

#30

Yeah,

Ok then change script to this:

-- If my calculations are correct then this **Script** should work
local Rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Buttons = script.Parent -- place this script inside buttons folder.
local ActualButtons = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("TitleScreen").Backround

for i, item in pairs(Buttons:GetDescendants()) do
	if item:isA("ObjectValue") then
		for i, button in pairs(ActualButtons:GetDescendants()) do
		if string.lower(button.Name) == string.lower(tostring(item.Value)) then -- item.Value should be the button
			if button:isA("GuiButton") then
				button.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
					print("Enter")
				end)
				button.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
					print("Leave")
				end)
			end	
		end
	  end
	end
end

– I removed .Button from ActualButtons Variable

#32

I also think you are able to change it to local script.

#33

what I dont understand is, why going inside the TitleScreen and finding the “real button” works but not when finding the button through object value…

#34

becuase the object value is supposed to hold the actual button ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#35

I don’t know… I know how to script in some parts that I don’t understand.
