I am making a tycoon game and am coding a dependancy system with attributes that locks buttons in a folder until a item is unlocked which then the button is put into the workspace. The system works fine at first but, when a second button was added, any button with a dependancy is unlocked when the first button is and the. Not only that but when i unlock the second button after unlocking the first one it reunlocks already unlocked buttons lastly said button just doesent work. Any help would be appriciated!

Purchase handling script:

local Purchases = script.Parent.Purchases:GetChildren()
local debounce = false
local TycoonFolder = Instance.new("Folder", game.ReplicatedStorage)
TycoonFolder.Name = script.Parent.Name
local LockedButtons = Instance.new("Folder", TycoonFolder)
local UsedButtons = Instance.new("Folder", TycoonFolder)
LockedButtons.Name = "LockedButtons"
UsedButtons.Name = "UsedButtons"


	for _, purchases in pairs((script.Parent.Purchases:GetChildren())) do
		purchases.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Name)
		purchases:GetAttribute("Id")
	end
	
	
	for _, button in pairs((script.Parent.Buttons:GetChildren())) do
		
		local Dependancy = button:GetAttribute("Dependancy")
		
		if Dependancy then
			button.Parent = LockedButtons
			script.Parent.PurchasedObjects.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
				local id = child:GetAttribute("Id")
				if Dependancy ~= id then end
				button.Parent = script.Parent.Buttons
			end)
		end
		
	button.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
			for _, purchases in pairs((TycoonFolder:GetChildren())) do
			if player ~= script.Parent.Owner.Value then continue end
			local IdOfItem = button:GetAttribute("IdOfItem")
			local Id = purchases:GetAttribute("Id")
			local Cost = button.Cost
			if Id ~= IdOfItem then continue end
			if Cost then
				if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value < Cost.Value then
					warn("you are broke")
					return
				end
				
				player.leaderstats.Cash.Value  -= Cost.Value
				
			end
		
		
				
			
				     
				local purchaseClone = purchases:Clone()
				purchaseClone.Parent = script.Parent.PurchasedObjects
				button.Parent = UsedButtons
			end
		end)
	end

Update: I fixed the issue with all buttons with dependancy attributes unlocking at once:

local Purchases = script.Parent.Purchases:GetChildren()
local debounce = false
local TycoonFolder = Instance.new("Folder", game.ReplicatedStorage)
TycoonFolder.Name = script.Parent.Name
local LockedButtons = Instance.new("Folder", TycoonFolder)
local UsedButtons = Instance.new("Folder", TycoonFolder)
LockedButtons.Name = "LockedButtons"
UsedButtons.Name = "UsedButtons"


	for _, purchases in pairs((script.Parent.Purchases:GetChildren())) do
		purchases.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Name)
		purchases:GetAttribute("Id")
	end
	
	
	for _, button in pairs((script.Parent.Buttons:GetChildren())) do
		
		local Dependancy = button:GetAttribute("Dependancy")
		
		if Dependancy then
			button.Parent = LockedButtons
			script.Parent.PurchasedObjects.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
				local id = child:GetAttribute("Id")
				if Dependancy ~= id then end
				button.Parent = script.Parent.Buttons
			end)
		end
		
	button.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
			for _, purchases in pairs((TycoonFolder:GetChildren())) do
			if player ~= script.Parent.Owner.Value then continue end
			local IdOfItem = button:GetAttribute("IdOfItem")
			local Id = purchases:GetAttribute("Id")
			local Cost = button.Cost
			if Id ~= IdOfItem then continue end
			if Cost then
				if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value < Cost.Value then
					warn("you are broke")
					return
				end
				
				player.leaderstats.Cash.Value  -= Cost.Value
				
			end
		
		
				
			
				     
				local purchaseClone = purchases:Clone()
				purchaseClone.Parent = script.Parent.PurchasedObjects
				button.Parent = UsedButtons
			end
		end)
	end

I solved it i was cloning the entire replicated storage folder instead of just the purchases, was not getting the specific button that had the attribute and misnamed the Id or used a string instead of a number
