Hi there, I am trying to change the color of specific terms in a string. For example, I would want certain words a different color than the rest, basically syntax. However I am running into issues and the text is not changing colors. The TextBox has RichText enabled too.

Here is the script:

local Terms = {
	"if",
	"then",
	"do",
	"while",
	"end",
	"break",
	"and"
}

local Position

while true do wait()
	Position = 1
	local TermTable = {}
	for i, Term in next, Terms do
		table.insert(TermTable, Term)
	end
	for i, Term in next, TermTable do
		if(i == Position and script.Parent.Text:find(Term)) then
			local Str = script.Parent.Text
			local StartPosition = Str:find(Term)
			local EndPosition = StartPosition + (#Term - 1)
			local TargetString = Str:sub(StartPosition, EndPosition)
			
			local function FormatString(S, C)
				local R,G,B = C.R*255,C.G*255,C.B*255
				return string.format("<font color=\"\rgb(%d, %d, %d)\"\>%s</font>",R, G, B, S)
			end
			
			local FormattedString = FormatString(TargetString, Color3.fromRGB(255, 85, 0))
			repeat wait() until FormattedString
			string.gsub(script.Parent.Text, TargetString, FormattedString)
			Position = Position + 1
		end
	end
end
