newchatline.TextColor3 = BrickColor.new(player.TeamColor).Color3 -- This is line 170
Don't worry about newchatline, I just want to know how can I get a person team color (BrickColor) to work with TextColor (Color3)?
ServerScriptService.Chat:170: bad argument #1 to 'new' (Color3 expected, got userdata)
To convert a BrickColor datatype into a Color3 datatype, you have to know the syntax for the Color3 scale.
Color3.new( RED / 255, GREEN / 255, BLUE / 255 )
So, what do you see here? The Color3 scale takes numbers out of 255 and it's in standard RGBformat.
Now, did you know you can index the specific color inputs(on the RGB format) of BrickColors? All you have to do is input these into a Color3 scale(:
local BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Bright red') --Your wanted BrickColor
function transformToColor3(col) --Function to convert, just cuz c;
local r = col.r --Red value
local g = col.g --Green value
local b = col.b --Blue value
return Color3.new(r,g,b); --Color3 datatype, made of the RGB inputs
end
transformToColor3(BrickColor) --> And a Color3 value was born(:
Theres another way thats less complicated.
Clr3Return = function(color)
return color.Color
end
.TextColor3 = Clr3Return( BrickColor.new("Lime green") )
print(
Clr3Return( BrickColor.new("Lime green") )
)
There's no point to use a function for this, since .Color is just as clear and shorter than a function call.

thanks :)
No problem! c:
An easier method is to simply use the Color property that all BrickColors have -- it automatically converts the BrickColor to Color3. BrickColor.new("Really red").Color
