Joining 2 scripts

[eternal aurora]

Hello! I want to join the ButtonScript to the Event1 script together but I don't know how can I do it and with what.
Please help me

--ButtonScript
local clickDetector = script.Parent
local button = game.Workspace.Button
local debounce = false

clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    if debounce then return end
    debounce = true
    print("Part clicked")

    task.wait(2)

    debounce = false
end)```

```lua
--Event1
for i = 1, 100 do
    local part = game.Workspace.KillPart:Clone()
    part.Anchored = false
    part.Position = Vector3.new(
        math.random(-256, 256), -- Xposition
        math.random(50, 150),   -- Yposition
        math.random(-256, 256)  -- Zposition
    )
    part.Parent = workspace
end```

Put the event1 inside the click detector event function

[eternal aurora]

I will do a lot of Events and I don't want it to be a mess

and to randomize the events too

[hard pine]

I don't understand

[eternal aurora]

When I click the button, a random event start, Event1 is the First event within all of the events and I don't want the Button Scripts to be a mess and I want a script to be called in another script so I can use it

[hard pine]

Create a function for each event and create a table and put all event inside the table

[eternal aurora]

in the same script ?

[hard pine]

Yeah

[eternal aurora]

Imma try it I never done tables

[hard pine]

You can read roblox docs on them

And watch tutorials on YouTube

[eternal aurora]

lemme look for it

[gusty bough]

This is a great use for modules

[hard pine]

I think he will use it only in this script, Is it really worth to put it in a module ?

[eternal aurora]

maybe for the script to look cleaner

[hard pine]

Yeah why not

[eternal aurora]

I never tested module script I'm gonna try it too

Thanks guys

[gusty bough]

If you're planning on adding 10+ events, then I would definitely consider using modules

[hard pine]

As he said for the script to look cleaner or something else?

[eternal aurora]

At least 20 events for me

[hard pine]

Then you gonna use module scripts lol

[eternal aurora]

yea

[gusty bough]

Just to keep it all readable. Even if you only use 20 lines of code per event, 20 events will then be 400 lines of code, just for your events

[hard pine]

So module scripts are not only to reuse scripts but also to keep the script readable

[eternal aurora]

I don't understand why isn't it working

I think I got it

ok no

[gusty bough]

So you correctly required the module but you made 2 mistakes:

1, you're trying to call the module instead of calling a function inside the module
2. So the "Event1" function is inside the module, but only accessible from inside of it. Add it to he module table

[eternal aurora]

do I need to call each events ?

[gusty bough]

Well yes, yet you can add some logic to just call a random event

[eternal aurora]

I don't understand

so I can't require the Events but I need to require one event at a time

[gusty bough]

If I roughly see what you're doing then

Events["Event"..math.random(1, AMOUNT_OF_EVENTS)]()

[gusty bough]

No, you can require a module

Yet you've to call function inside the module, not the entire module

[eternal aurora]

huh

[unkempt kayak]

** You are now Level 15! **

[gusty bough]

So:

local Events = {}

function Events.Event1() 
  --blabla
end

return Events


---------------
local Events = require(...)

Events.Event1()

[eternal aurora]

ohhhh

I think I'm just stupid but its doing an error

[gusty bough]

Also, please don't store scripts inside the workspace, please just put them in serverscriptservice. It's easier to keep track of scripts, and just safer (e.g., if a model gets deleted with a script inside of it, then that script will also be removed. Unachored models can also be flung into the void, which will also cause them to be delted)

[gusty bough]

Mind showing me how you implemented it?

[eternal aurora]

I can't access it through the ServerScriptService, the only thing I can call is the Workspace

[gusty bough]

?

[gusty bough]

Read that entire line, now read my example

Tell me what difference you see

[eternal aurora]

oh ok I can't use a local

and now I need to randomize it with other events but I still don't know how to do it lol

[eternal aurora]

tysm I was so lost

[gusty bough]

.

That's how you can call a random event based on your current naming scheme. Just fill the amount of events in in... well, AMOUNT_OF_EVENTS

[eternal aurora]

do I need to say lua "Event"..math.random

or just lua math.random

[gusty bough]

no...

still, no

Just exactly what I typed

[eternal aurora]

I didn't say the full parts I know I need to do it

but is the "Event" before math.random useful ?

[gusty bough]

Well yes, if you want to call the actual function then you do have to make sure that it actually produces the correct string to index...

[eternal aurora]

Ok thanks! Sorry if I bothered you with my annoying questions

U helped me alot

[eternal aurora]

Sorry to bother you again, when you said "Event", I need to say one of the events and not the module
