My code for turning off the lights doesn't work,why?

Asked 150 views1 answers

I have a button so when someone walks over it, the other 2 scripts activate.

local function onTouch(hit)
	workspace.blackout.Disabled = false
	workspace.neon.Disabled = false
	
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

It works. Then I tagged lightpoints and parts using a plugin that works and I scripted these 2 scripts.

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")

local TaggedParts = CollectionService:GetTagged("light")

for _, TaggedParts in pairs(TaggedParts) do
	light.Enabled = false
	
end

But the lights don't turn off. Then there is a script for turning neon material to plastic:

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")

local TaggedParts = CollectionService:GetTagged("plastic")

for _, TaggedParts in pairs(TaggedParts) do
	Enum.Material.Plastic
	
end

But that also doesn't work. If anyone knows where the error is and how to fix it,please correct me in the comments, thanks

What are you trying to do here?

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
	 
	local TaggedParts = CollectionService:GetTagged("plastic")
	 
	for _, TaggedParts in pairs(TaggedParts) do
	    Enum.Material.Plastic
	 
	end

You are just typing Enum.Material.Plastic

I think you wanted to do this:

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
	 
	local TaggedParts = CollectionService:GetTagged("plastic")
	 
	for _, TaggedParts in pairs(TaggedParts) do
	    TaggedParts.Material = Enum.Material.Plastic
	end

Now to disable the light you should do

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
	 
	local TaggedParts = CollectionService:GetTagged("light")
	 
	for _, TaggedParts in pairs(TaggedParts) do
	    TaggedParts.Enabled = false
	end
