Im sorry if my code seems messy. Im trying to clean it up a little. My question is can i activate 2 fuctions when someone clicks a single button? What im trying to do here is when the player clicks the left button i want it to move the map and print hello world at the same time. I have been stuck on this for a while any help would be great. Currently the map moves no problem but i get no hello world in the command console.
