Hi 'dere! I was wondering if its possible for several textbuttons to fire the same event and run the same function without me needing to put the script in 30+ buttons: Code: function onClick() script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Loading.Visible = true end script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClick) I want this to be executed when any of the buttons are clicked but there must be a more efficient way than pasting this in every TextButton?

for i,v in ipairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do if v:IsA("TextButton") then v.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Loading.Visible = true end) end end

The buttons are all called different names :/ I was thinking - is it possible to put the function in a Module and then call it from each button? I began to do this but couldn't go any further when I put script.Parent and realised that this probably wouldn't work as its not in the GUI?

It doesn't matter if their different names. If they ALL have the same parent, that would work.

Ahh okay. I tried it but it doesn't work. I put it inside a Frame with several TextButtons. Don't worry about it too much I might be able to do without it anyway
