Help with If Statements?
This script works perfectly fine if I remove the
1 | and v.BrickColor == "Bright red" |
but if I don't it won't print out v and yes I have a part colored Bright red.Why won't it print out v?
I got no errors
Script:
1 | for i,v in pairs (game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do |
2 | if v:IsA("Part") and v.BrickColor == "Bright red" |
3 | then |
4 | print(v) |
5 | end |
6 | end |

The primary problem is that the BrickColor is not a string.
You try and compare BrickColor with the string 'Bright red'.
There are multiple solutions to this issue -
• you can call tostring() on the BrickColor property, resulting in a string.
1 | for i,v in pairs (game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do |
2 | if v:IsA("Part") and tostring(v.BrickColor) == "Bright red" |
3 | then |
4 | print(v) |
5 | end |
6 | end |
• you can access the BrickColor datatype when comparing (recommended)
1 | for i,v in pairs (game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do |
2 | if v:IsA("Part") and v.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright red") |
3 | then |
4 | print(v) |
5 | end |
6 | end |
