how to use one remote event for different buttons

[barren cape]

so i have 4 buttons that i all want to do different things but i only want to use 1 remote event if possible. basically i've heard using multiple remote events is laggy for ur game so i'd prefer to only use one. is there any condition or something that i can use to check what button was pressed and based on that fire the remote event on a different script depending on what button i press, so let's say i press button 1 and then i only want it to fire on script 1 but if i press button 2 i only want it to fire on script 2. what's a condition that could help me separate the different scripts based on what button was pressed? and if there's no work around is having 4 remote events fine?

Just use a server script lol

But if you really want/have to use a remote event for something like this, then you could pass a value based on which button was pressed

--Client Side
local RE = YOUR_REMOTE_EVENT

local button1 = YOUR_FIRST_BUTTON
local button2 = YOUR_SECOND_BUTTON
local button3 = YOUR_THIRD_BUTTON

button1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    RE:FireServer("Button1")
end)

button2.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    RE:FireServer("Button2")
end)

button3.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    RE:FireServer("Button3")
end)

--Server Side
local RE = YOUR_REMOTE_EVENT

RE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, arg)
    if arg == "Button1" then
        print("Event Fired From Button 1")
    elseif arg == "Button2" then
        print("Event Fired From Button 2")
    elseif arg == "Button3" then
        print("Event Fired From Button 3")
    end
end)

Hope you get the idea even tho I would recommend you just using a server script

okay sure, so for a short description before sending this my scripts are for 4 buttons which change ur character. for my game i want to be able to change into 4 characters by button presses (2 are for male and 2 are for female).

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local f2Button = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("genderChars").female2
    -- getting button
    
    f2Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(female2)
        local plrChar = plr.Character
        local newChar = game.ServerStorage.charItems.characters.Female2:Clone()
        -- getting player's char and new char
        newChar.Name = plrChar.Name -- giving char the player's name
        newChar.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(plrChar.HumanoidRootPart.Position) -- humanoidrootpart in same pos

        plr.Character = newChar
        newChar.Parent = game.Workspace
        plrChar:Destroy()
        -- replaces player's char with new char and puts it in workspace
    end)
end)

that's 1 of 4 scripts

@prisma yarrow rn i'm testing with this using a remote event (hopefully u can help me laeter if server scripts are better) and i have a question. when checking for the arg let's say "Button1" if i were to add multiple args such as "Button1", "Cool" (example) when firing it from the clientside how would i go about checking if args == both of them?

[spiral saddle]

ok

[barren cape]
