Why is my color-change script not working?

Asked by 9 years ago

Welp here it is. Please keep in mind that this is my FIRST REAL SCRIPT for a game.

while true do workspace.lunarbutton.brickcolor = BrickColor.blue workspace.lunarbutton.brickcolor = BrickColor.red

end

That's not how you declare the part's color. In order to do this, you have to use BrickColor.new. Here's one way how it works:

while true do -- declare the loop
wait() -- make sure to add a wait() to avoid crashing
workspace.lunarbutton.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue") --We access the part's color and change it to bright blue
wait(2) -- we wait a few seconds again
workspace.lunarbutton.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") -- The part is now red.
end

Another way to do this is by:

workspace.lunarbutton.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red() --This will make the part's color to red
workspace.lunarbutton.BrickColor = BrickColor.Blue() -- This will turn blue

Keep in mind that there are other types of shades of blue and red. To access these colors, go on studio and you will find a list of colors with their corresponding names.

It doesn't seem to be looping. Even though I fixed everything. pedrosantaana 0 — 9y

I've tested it myself and it works fine. Try adjusting the wait time. Darknesschaos 0 — 9y

Okay...i'll try again. Sorry for the nubby-ness. It is my first script after all. pedrosantaana 0 — 9y
