Why won't this GetChildren work?

Asked 178 views1 answers

Hello! So recently I've been editing all of my tools for an upcoming model pack I am making. I decided to make a wallet functional. So basically when I activate the tool, a rupee comes out of it. (Yes this is form zelda) The rupee is a group of parts so it is a model. I am trying to change the model colour to Bright red, but it doesn't seem to do anything at all. it creates the model but does not change the colour. Also there is nothing in the output so I have no idea whats wrong

Tool.Activated:connect(function()
    SlashAnimLoaded:Play()
local assetId = 248897250
Asset = game:GetService("InsertService"):LoadAsset(assetId)
A = Asset.RG:GetChildren()
A.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright Red")--This is where it doesn't do what it is supposed to.
Asset.Parent = game.Workspace
Asset.RG:MoveTo(Tool.Handle.Position)
end)

Thats where the pairs come in handy, example:

local b=workspace:GetChildren()

for i,v in pairs(b) do
if v.className=="Part" then
print("part_")
end

NOTE: Take note that GetChildren() does not Modify any of the Children it is only used to Gather the Children.

EDITED:

Tool.Activated:connect(function()
    SlashAnimLoaded:Play()
local assetId = 248897250
Asset = game:GetService("InsertService"):LoadAsset(assetId)
A = Asset.RG:GetChildren()
for i,v in pairs(A) do
if v.className=="Part" then
v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright Red")
Asset.Parent = game.Workspace
Asset.RG:MoveTo(Tool.Handle.Position)
end
end
end)

GetChildren is only a list -- and a list doesn't have a brick color. You therefore need to edit everything IN the list, as you have. (Just clarifying)

Okay, Now there is a problem: It changes the Colour to grey. Not red. And in the output it says Brickcolor is not a valid member of Script.
