Why isn't this script working?

Asked 205 views1 answers

The script it supposed to change my texts color to blue, wait a second, then change back to white. and this error pops up:

"attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'TextColor3' (a userdata value)" I have no idea what that means, here is the script:

while true do
for i = 1,10 do
	wait()
	script.Parent.TextColor3 = script.Parent.TextColor3 - Color3.new(0.1,0.1,0)
end
wait(1)
for i = 1,10 do
	wait()
	script.Parent.TextColor3 = script.Parent.TextColor3 + Color3.new(0.1,0.1,0)
end
end

The TextColor is already white

The error means that there is no set metatable to perform mathematical operations on that userdata (Color3).

You need to do it like this (get the individual numbers):

while true do
	for i = 1,10 do
	    wait()
	    script.Parent.TextColor3 = Color3.new(script.Parent.TextColor3.r - .1,script.Parent.TextColor3.g - .1,0)
	end
	wait(1)
	for i = 1,10 do
	    wait()
	    script.Parent.TextColor3 = Color3.new(script.Parent.TextColor3.r + .1,script.Parent.TextColor3.g + .1,0)
	end
end
