I am trying to make a script where the color of the brick changes continuously no matter what happens. And when the color reaches white (R/255, G/255, B/255) it will start going down in colors. Here is a script,
local script = script.Parent
while true do
script.BrickColor = BrickColor3.new(R/+1, G/+1, B/+1) -- don't know what to put here...
if script.BrickColor = R/255, G/255, B/255 then
for i = 1, 255 do
script.BrickColor = BrickColor3.new(R/-1, G/-1, B/-1)
end
end
end
There's a much simpler structure:
Go up from 0 to 255
Go down from 255 to 0
(Repeat)
Here's what that would look like:
while true do
for bright = 0, 1, 0.03 do
-- Set color...
wait()
end
for bright = 1, 0, -0.03 do
-- Set color...
wait()
end
end
The BrickColor.new constructor can take a Color3 value. Color3 values use an R, G, and B ranging from 0 to 1 (not 0 to 255 as is reported by the Properties tab). So this could look like
local brick = script.Parent -- DO NOT REDEFINE SCRIPT
-- That is a wonderful way to confuse yourself
...
brick.BrickColor = BrickColor.new( Color3.new( bright, bright, bright ) )
...
So, this will more or less work. The problem is that BrickColors are ultimately discrete. There are only a handful of them, it won't actually be a smooth transition.
There isn't a simple solution to this.
At this point, there are two solutions.
SpecialMesh: The trick I came up with a number of years ago. Using a FileMesh, you can modify the VertexColor property (which is a Vector3, not a Color3) when it has a pure white texture to get the mesh to be that color.
I had MeshDB upload this brick mesh that is 0.5x0.5x0.5. Set its Scale to be twice the size of the brick, e.g.,
brick.Mesh.Scale = brick.Size * 2
Then set its VertexColor:
...
brick.Mesh.VertexColor = Vector3.new( bright, bright, bright )
...
(Remember it needs a pure white TextureId -- upload one yourself or just search "White" on decals)
GUIs: The other option is to use 6 different SurfaceGuis. This requires more instances, and will ignore lighting.
Color3 values can range from 0 to 1. You can find your colors by dividing the values you want by 255.
You can combine BrickColor and Color3 constructors into one:
game.Workspace.Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(Color3.new(1,1,1))
At least, that's what Wiki said.
Another way you can change colors continuously is to try:
game.Workspace.Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
Don't forget to use wait(--[[WaitTime]])in your while loop, lol.
