Some way to simplify multiple MouseClick connections?

Help and Feedback Code Review

I need to add a number to a variable depending on the button I stepped on but as a result I have what you see in the image and you want to simplify it a bit but I don’t know how.

You can use the collection service to tag all the buttons. Then loop through the tagged and assign each object a function.

local cs = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local buttons = cs:GetTagged("Button")

for i, v in pairs(buttons) do

    v.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

        --code

    end)

end

To actually tag, you can either do it manually or using a script:

for i, v in pairs(screengui:GetDescendants()) do

    --check if text button and has "CertainButton" within the name somewhere

    if v:IsA("TextButton") and v.Name:find("CertainButton") then 

         cs:AddTag(v, "Button")

    end

end
