So basically I am making well... The next generation of LUA-Learning? Idk... Anyways I needs to figure out how to get the original value of any object because if the player typed in a script that goes like
script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
I would need to know what the original position of the object was to see if it moved, or if it changed brickcolors such as in
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Maroon")
I would also need to know if that changed.
If you want to see whether a part changed or not you need to make use of the changed function.
Ex:
script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function()
print("position changed!")
end)
If I were to move the part in studio (even a small stud) it will print("position changed").
Now for the color:
script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function()
print("position changed!")
if script.Parent.BrickColor ~= BrickColor.new("Really blue") then
print("COLOR WAS CHANGED!")
else
end
end)
If I (or a player) were to change the part's color, it'll print "COLOR WAS CHANGED!"
So basically, before the player does anything, you can "snapshot" the parts position. Same thing with the brickcolor.
local orgPos = script.Parent.Position
local orgColor = script.Parent.BrickColor
Should work, lemme know if you have any errors. Cheers, Zander!

What if the script made by the player changed the color before those variables are set?
You define those variables first lol.
