Help with a skin color editing script. No errors, but it still doesn't work?
(((I'm a big noob to scripting, so bear with me.)))
I'm having trouble creating a skin color GUI for an avatar editor. What I want to do is have the player input a 0-255 value into 3 separate TextBoxes for R G and B values, then press a TextButton that fires a RemoteEvent which applies the color to the character via BodyColors.
I've tried a lot of things, and my most recent code iteration isn't showing any errors. However, it still isn't working.
It should bear mentioning that LoadCharacterAppearance is false, though enabling it doesn't seem to change anything.
Here's the Script i'm using, which is in ServerScriptService:
local textboxR = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame1.SkinColorR
local textboxG = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame1.SkinColorG
local textboxB = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame1.SkinColorB
textboxR.FocusLost:Connect(function()
rvalue = tonumber(textboxR.Text)/256
end)
textboxG.FocusLost:Connect(function()
gvalue = tonumber(textboxG.Text)/256
end)
textboxB.FocusLost:Connect(function()
bvalue = tonumber(textboxB.Text)/256
end)
function SetSkinColor(r, g, b)
local Button = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame1.TextButton
local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local bodyColors = {'HeadColor3', 'Torso3', 'RightArmColor3', 'LeftArmColor3', 'RightLegColor3','LeftLegColor3'}
local bodyColor = Color3.new(r, g, b)
if (r > 1 or r < 0) or (g > 1 or g < 0)or (b > 1 or b < 0)
then
print("Color out of valid range!!!")
else
for _,color in pairs(bodyColors) do
char["Body Colors"][color] = Color3.new(r, g, b)
end
end
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.SkinColor.OnServerEvent:Connect(rvalue, gvalue, bvalue)
and here is the LocalScript I have in the TextButton:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SetSkinColorEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.SkinColor
local function SetSkinColor()
SetSkinColorEvent:FireServer()
end
game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame1.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(SetSkinColor)
Any and all help would be appreciated, because I'm still new to this. Thanks in advance. :))

Hmm. I found 4 problems with your script. You're using LocalPlayer in a server script, and only LocalScripts can use game.Players.LocalPlayer. The second problem is if (r > 1 or r < 0) or (g > 1 or g < 0)or (b > 1 or b < 0) then print("Color out of valid range!!!"). RGB values go up to 255. HSV values are the ones that go from 0% - 100%, or 0 - 1. Third problem, OnServerEvent returns a player variable, and you put rvalue where the player variable is supposed to go. Edit: Forgot to say, you are also trying to get the value of a textbox in StarterGui. What you're supposed to do is access the player's gui in game.Players.<playername>.PlayerGui, or in a LocalScript, game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.
Script:
function SetSkinColor(player, r, g, b)
local Button = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame1.TextButton
local char = player.Character
local bodyColors = {'HeadColor3', 'Torso3', 'RightArmColor3', 'LeftArmColor3', 'RightLegColor3','LeftLegColor3'}
local bodyColor = Color3.new(r, g, b)
if (r > 255 or r < 0) or (g > 255 or g < 0)or (b > 255 or b < 0)
then
print("Color out of valid range!!!")
else
for _,color in pairs(bodyColors) do
char["Body Colors"][color] = Color3.new(r, g, b)
end
end
end
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.SkinColor.OnServerEvent:Connect(player, rvalue, gvalue, bvalue)
LocalScript:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SetSkinColorEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.SkinColor
local textboxR = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame1.SkinColorR
local textboxG = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame1.SkinColorG
local textboxB = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame1.SkinColorB
local function SetSkinColor()
SetSkinColorEvent:FireServer(textboxR.Text, textboxG.Text, textboxB.Text)
end
game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame1.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(SetSkinColor)
