I am trying to make a plugin but it gives an error that says: "Mat" is not a valid Enum material. I have tried parentheses and quotations, parentheses, and quotations. This is the code

01local plugin = PluginManager():CreatePlugin()
02local toolbar = plugin:CreateToolbar("Filling tools")
03local button = toolbar:CreateButton(
04    "", 
05    "Flood fill", 
06    "Potato.png"
07    )
08 
09Fillblock=""
10active = 0
11--____________________________________________
12 
13_G.Changeblock = function(Mat)
14    Fillblock = Enum.Material.Mat
15end
16--____________________________________________
17 
18button.Click:connect(function()
19    if active == 0 then
20    plugin:Activate(true)
21    active = 1
22    print("Welcome to Warman13579's Fill plugin! Type in _G.help() to see the commands")
23    wait(1)
24    print("Select your material! The list of current materials is: Slate, Brick, WoodPlanks, Sand, Water, and concrete. Type _G.Changeblock(water) (water in quotations) for example.")
25    else
26    active = 0
27    plugin:Activate(false)
28    print("Goodbye")
29    end
30end)

NOTE: Some functions are not implemented like _G.Help()

function x(y) print(Enum.Material[y]) end x('Grass') -->Enum.Material.Grass. ImageLabel 1541 — 10y

You have to use the [] operator!

1_G.Changeblock = function(Mat)
2    Fillblock = Enum.Material[Mat]
3end

I could of thought of that XD dang it! EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 10y
