How to make a Part change color on a click of a SurfaceGUI?

Asked by

I am very new to scripting, and I have played LBP2, and LBP3 and the Techno seems so simple. But Roblox's LUA seems so difficult. I want to make a little booth, where you click a SurfaceGUI of a certain color, and many parts turn colors. For example, a player hits a Blue SurfaceGUI, then 10 blocks infront of the player turns Blue. Or a player hits a SurfaceGUI and bricks infront of him turn random. I do got an idea on what to do, but I need help on the Click thing. Here is what I would do. Just tell me if I do anything wrong. Can you help me?

`1`	`if` `(Something where a player hits a SurfaceGUI)` `then` `Game.Workspace.DanceFloor.Part1.BrickColor` `=` `("Toothpaste")`

But I want it to also work on multiple parts.

I tried using:

1function color()
2Game.Workspace.Part.BrickColor = ("Toothpaste")
3end
4 
5script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(color)

But i get the error:

"Workspace.ColorThePart.SurfaceGui.TextButton.Script:2: bad argument #3 to 'BrickColor' (BrickColor expected, got string)"

Can someone help me with this??

Like in the answer bellow, you need to change colors by setting the parts BrickColor = to "BrickColor.new("ColorNameHere") alphawolvess 1784 — 10y

If I understand your question correctly, What you're trying to do is change the colour of some blocks when a surface GUI is clicked.

1function onClick(clicked) -- This makes the rest of the code run when it's clicked
2    game.Workspace.DanceFloor.Part1.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Toothpaste") -- What you want to happen
3script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(clicked) -- Connection line

I believe what you're missing is the BrickColor.new If this doesn't answer your question fully, or you don't understand please do reply or send me a PM :) But if it does answer your question don't forget to accept my answer :)

Thanks! There was a glitch though, when I clicked the GUI, nothing happened, because when I went to test it, the BrickColor already turned the color "Toothpaste", but I get what you are trying to say. Loleydude 29 — 10y
