How do I make platforms pick a random color and turn off canColide on random?

Asked Feb 25, 2021170 views1 answers

I have tried this,

local test = math.random(1,8)
local platform = "Platform"..test

workspace.Map.platform.canCollide = false

But it wont work. Please help!

You can manually set 'CanCollide**' to false, as you have no need to adjust it with your code from the context I'm seeing.

Line 4 of your code is the problem because it searches for an Instance named "platform" in game.Workspace.Map. Also the property is typed like this: CanCollide whereas in your code you left the first c lowercased. What you should do is one of these two things:

game.Workspace.Map[platform].CanCollide = false
--or
game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(platform).CanCollide = false

Both will rise an error if the allocation evaluates to nil.
