Why is it not setting the Players skin colour? (Color)

Asked 194 views2 answers
Gate = script.Parent

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

Gate.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	
	wait()

	if hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		
		local head = player.Head
		
		local ltorso = player.LowerTorso
		local utorso = player.UpperTorso
		
		local lleftarm = player.LeftLowerArm
		local uleftarm = player.LeftUpperArm
		
		local lrightarm = player.RightLowerArm
		local urightarm = player.RightUpperArm
		
		local lleftleg = player.LeftLowerLeg
		local uleftleg = player.LeftUpperLeg
		
		local lrightleg = player.RightLowerLeg
		local urightleg = player.RightUpperLeg
		
		local lhand = player.LeftHand
		local rhand = player.RightHand
		
		local lfoot = player.LeftFoot
		local rfoot = player.RightFoot
		
		wait(1)
		
		lhand.Colour = {255, 255, 255} -- Imagine I've set everything to "255, 255, 255", I was just using "lhand" to test

	end

end)

This is a script I've got that should change the Player's skin colour once touched a part, it doesn't work and in the output I get ' attempt to index nil with "Head" ', can anyone help please?

Theres a couple things wrong with this, first its in a server script and when it gets touched by anything with a humanoid itll change everyones color, 2nd you cant get local player in a server script, and third the character limbs are located in localplayer.Character not in the LocalPlayer and fourth your not setting the color right.

Gate = script.Parent

local players = game:GetService("Players")

Gate.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local Char = hit.parent --this contains all the character limbs
		local Name = Char.Name

		local plr = players[Name] --the plr isnt required here but this is how you would get it anyway
		
		   --creating variables for components inside of a group manually isnt very efficient 
		
		wait(1)
		
		for i,v in pairs(Char:GetChildren()) do --creating table with the Characters cilds(components inside the Character)

			if v:IsA("MeshPart") then --if the child is a meshpart which the limbs are then..

				v.Color = Color3.new(255,255,255) --change the meshparts color to whatever you set

			end
		end

	end

end)

also i made it shorter, hopefully this helps

		lhand.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255) -- Spelled Color Wrong and did not format Color Correctly

	end

You have to spell color the American way

i'm probably missing something but it still doesnt work, the players colour is not changing, and annoyingly the output has nothing to say. Does this have to be in a localscript by any chance?
