What am I doing wrong?

Asked 359 views1 answers

Hello, I'm new to this site and Lua. Okay, lets cut to the chase.

MyPart = script.Parent


function ColorClick ()
	MyPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
end

MyPart.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(ColorClick)

if MyPart == "Lime green" then
	function ColorClickTwo ()
		MyPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
	
		end
end

MyPart.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(ColorClickTwo)

I am trying to change a red brick to green by clicking it, which works, but now i'm trying to change it back to red by clicking it again. So, i'm basically trying to change the brick color back and forth by clicking it. When I test it, I would click the red brick, and it would turn green. But, when I click it again, it doesn't do anything, and it would say in the output, "attempt to call a nil value".

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am new to Lua, and really can't figure this out.

First off, Welcome to Scripting Helpers. Here is some of the main problems I found. I've realized my first answer didn't work, here is an alternative. This will work like so. If you hover over the part, it will turn green. Once your stop hovering, it will turn red. When you click, in the output will show that is was clicked.

--// Functions
function HoverOn(Enter) -- Calls on HoverOn
   script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
end

function HoverOff(Leave) -- Calls on HoverOff
   script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
end

function Click(Click) -- Calls on Click
   print(script.Parent.Name.." was clicked.")
end

--// CallBacks
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseHoverEnter:connect(HoverOn)
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseHoverLeave:connect(HoverOff)
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(Click)

Wish you the best of luck in your journey.
