Loop, :Connect?

How would I connect the looped button at the bottom of this post, to the “.MouseEnter” event?

I tried this and it works. I am not sure if it is efficient, nor a good practice of doing that though.

for _,button in pairs(client.MainButtons:GetChildren()) do
	if button:IsA("ImageButton") then
		button.MouseEnter:Connect(function(x, y)
			print("Entered!")
		end)
	end
end

I think it would be better to connect the buttons/event, but how?

for _,button in pairs(client.MainButtons:GetChildren()) do
	if button:IsA("ImageButton") then
		-- connect button to GuiObject below somehow.
	end
end

GuiObject.MouseEnter:Connect(function(x, y)
	-- connect to "button" above.
	-- run a function...
end)

Not sure if that’s what you mean, but if you don’t care about knowing which button was entered, you can make a single function instead of creating one every time

local function OnMouseEnter(x, y)
    print("im now a happy button")
end

for _,button in pairs(client.MainButtons:GetChildren()) do
    if button:IsA("ImageButton") then
        button.MouseEnter:Connect(OnMouseEnter)
    end
end

The former method is fine. I don’t think there’s a reason to link it. It would probably just complicate it unless you’re using the same block multiple times, then in that case you should wrap it in a function.
hth!
