EnumItem cannot be modified? [closed]

I'm making this script that has to change the value depending on what random number it lands on.

It has been working without the value part, but I'm not sure how to fix it

It also has an error saying: EnumItem cannot be modified

This is the script:

01local part = math.random(1,100)
02local val = script.Parent.Material
03print(part)
04if part < 41 then
05    print("grass")
06    val.Value = "grass"
07    script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
08elseif part > 40 and part < 61 then
09    print("road")
10    val.Value = "road"
11    script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Black()
12elseif part > 60 and part < 101 then
13    print("water")
14    val.Value = "water"
15    script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright bluish green")
16end

Enumerations have a Value property and your value object may be conflicting with the Material Enum, so try changing the name of your value object to something like "MatType" or "MaterialType" (without quotes). Spongocardo 1991 — 10y
