Multiple ClickDetectors

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello

So I want to fire few ClickDetectors at the same time instead of firing them on a script one by one. Is there a way to fire many ClickDetectors at once or should I just fire them manually?

You mean have several functions for several different click detectors in one script? Like

clickdetector1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
end)
clickdetector2.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
end)
#3

Is there a way to fire both of them at the same time?

#4

I’m confused what you mean by that. Fire click detectors at same time? Like clicking them?

To my understanding, a user can’t click two clickdetectors at the exact same time, so I don’t think this is possible.

I have a drawer with a few parts, and I put a ClickDetector in each of them.

So you want one function to handle several different click detectors?

A user can’t click multiple ClickDetectors at the exact same time.

As Btkelley17 previously said, you would most likely to use multiple functions in one script.

I know they can’t click multiple, I just want to know if there is a way to make a function for each ClickDetector in one function instead of writting

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
end)

Assuming the drawer is a model, and this script is directly under the model, try this:

for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do
if v.ClassName == “ClickDetector” then
v.MouseClick:Connect(function()
– Handle clickdetector code
end)
end
end

Checking all the Detectors and when they are clicked.

something like

local function Clicked()
-- do stuff here
end

for i,v in pairs(PATHHERE:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("ClickDetector") then
v.MouseClick:Connect(Clicked)
end 
end

Basically what trixroux said

If the drawer is a Model then you can just parent a single ClickDetector to the Model instance itself and use that. All the BasePart descendants of the Model will be clickable.

Really, I never knew I can do that. Thanks.

How do I check Which one of this parts got clicked?

#15

There’s really no way to check that through ClickDetectors. Only one thing you could do is using Mouse.Button1Up event. Something like this maybe?

local Mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

Mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
    if Mouse.Target == [TargetLocation] then
        -- Your code
    end
end)

Again this isn’t the cleanest way to do it.

Edit 1: WHY WOULD YOU NECROBUMP THE POST
