This script is not changing the colour of Wood parts?

Hi, I'm implementing a system where you can customize the colour of your gun. The RecolourValue is a BrickColorValue. It prints "1" and also prints "2", but does not print "3".

01PrimaryMaterial = "Wood"
02 
03for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
04 
05    print '1'  
06 
07    if v.ClassName == "Part" or v.ClassName == "WedgePart" then
08 
09        print '2'      
10 
11        if v.Material == (PrimaryMaterial) then    
12 
13            print '3'          
14 
15            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.shopandinventoryvalues.RecolourValue.Value)

Because you're comparing Material to a string rather than the material itself. Change (PrimaryMaterial) to Enum.Material.Wood M39a9am3R 3210 — 9y

Your using material as a string value, they are not strings. It is a special data type that are different from the commonly used ones such as numbers, strings, bools, stuff like that. To fix this use:

Enum. --whatever the material u want is

Read the wiki if you need more help: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Enumeration

Bear in mind you could also add .Name after Material since Enums have a Name property, which is the string version of the Enum. Spongocardo 1991 — 9y
