Why wont this script work properly?

Asked by

local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent then
        if hit.BrickColor == "Dark orange" and hit.Material == "Wood" then
            hit.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Black()
        end
    end
end)

It's supposed to, when a part is made of dark orange wood, "burn" it. There are no errors in the output.

Thank you in advance for any help you may provide.

You forgot to check if a humanoid has checked it, you use ontouch function and get the parent of what hit it returning the humanoid.

function onTouch(part)
    local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") -- used to find humanoid in player ontouch
    local block = script.Parent
    if (humanoid ~= nil) and block.Material == Enum.Material.Wood and block.BrickColor == BrickColor.new('Bright orange') then -- Enum to check material requirement, BrickColor.new for part color requirement
        block.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Black')
    end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)
