What is wrong with this Rainbow Strobe light script? [closed]

Could someone tell me why this script won't work? I have it under the PointLight so I can use "Parent" and the point light is 60 brightness and 60 range but it still won't work. Here is the script. It is supposed to be a strobe light that changes colors

01Script.Parent.Color = LightColor
02while true do
03    script.Parent.Enabled = true
04    wait(.01)
05    script.Parent.Enabled = false
06    Script.Parent.Color = Color.new(1004)--Really Red
07    wait(.01)
08    script.Parent.Enabled = true
09    wait(.01)
10    script.Parent.Enabled = false
11    Script.Parent.Color = Color.new("Deep Orange")
12     wait(.01)
13    script.Parent.Enabled = true
14    wait(.01)
15    script.Parent.Enabled = false
16    LightColor = Color.new("New Yeller")
17    script.Parent.Enabled = true
18    wait(.01)
19    script.Parent.Enabled = false
20    LightColor = Color.new(1020)--Lime Green
21    script.Parent.Enabled = true
22    wait(.01)
23    script.Parent.Enabled = false
24    LightColor = Color.new(1010)--New Blue I think
25    script.Parent.Enabled = true
26    wait(.01)
27    script.Parent.Enabled = false
28    LightColor = Color.new(1015)--Magenta
29end

First of all, PointLights' colors are Color3 values. Second of all, there are a few errors in your script. Like grammar, punctuation, and capitalization... But I've created a small, simple script for you that has almost all of the colors of the rainbow, and it changes every 0.5 seconds.

Here it is:

01local Light = script.Parent
02 
03while true do
04Light.Color = Color3.new(255/255, 0/255, 0/255) -- Red
05wait(0.5)
06Light.Color = Color3.new(255/255, 85/255, 0/255) -- Orange
07wait(0.5)
08Light.Color = Color3.new(255/255, 255/255, 0/255) -- Yellow
09wait(0.5)
10Light.Color = Color3.new(85/255, 255/255, 0/255) -- Green
11wait(0.5)
12Light.Color = Color3.new(0/255, 0/255, 255/255) -- Blue
13wait(0.5)
14Light.Color = Color3.new(170/255, 0/255, 255/255) -- Violet
15wait(0.5)
16end

Hope this helped!

Thanks so much! Thanks for being honest with me! Antharaziia 75 — 11y

PointLight objects use Color3, but you are using BrickColor codes. Here is what I suggest. First of all, make a part and but this script in the part. use BrickColor.new instead of of Color.new, and put the light in the code. Here is what the code should look like.

01Time = 0.1 --You can change this to whatever delay you need.
02Color = script.Parent.BrickColor
03LightColor = Script.Parent.PointLight.Color
04while true do
05    wait(Time)
06    Color = BrickColor.new(1004)
07    LightColor = Color.Color --BrickColor has a Property called Color that will convert a BrickColor --- color to a Color3 color
08    wait(Time)
09    Color = BrickColor.new(1017)
10    LightColor = Color.Color    
11    wait(Time)
12    Color = BrickColor.new(1009)
13    LightColor = Color.Color
14    wait(Time)
15    Color = BrickColor.new(1020)
16    LightColor = Color.Color
17    wait(Time)
18    Color = BrickColor.new(1010)--There is no New Blue, but this is Really Blue.
19    LightColor = Color.Color
20    wait(Time)
21    Color = BrickColor.new(1015)
22    LightColor = Color.Color
23end

Now this might be all you need, but there is a much simpler way to do this. This way is just as useful, but a LOT smaller.

01Colors = {1004, 1017, 1009, 1010, 1015}
02--Put all the color codes you want in here.
03Time = 0.1
04--This is your delay.
05Color = script.Parent.BrickColor
06LightColor = script.Parent.PointLight.Color
07for i, #Colors do
08    wait(Time)
09    Color = BrickColor.new(Colors[i])
10    --Change this to Color = BrickColor.new(Colors[math.random(1, #Colors)]) for random colors.
11    LightColor = Color.Color
12end

The nice thing about this code is that you can add more colors later and it will still work. By the way, you can go here for a list of color codes. Hope this helps!
