How to successfully script a trapping 'death plate'?
while true do
wait(4)
script.Parent.BrickColor=BrickColor:("Bright red")
wait(0.1)
script.Parent:CanCollide = false
wait(4)
script.Parent.BrickColor=BrickColor:("Lime green")
wait(0.1)
script.Parent:CanCollide = true
wait(0.1)
end
What I'm trying to do is to change the colour of the script's parent ( a brick ) and also to make it uncancollided and then reversed in a continuous loop. I don't see why it wouldn't work, so anybody could give me some help on that?
Current output: 18:14:29.211 - Workspace.DisappearingBrick.Script:4: '<name>' expected near '('

You don't understand what : is used for.
object:action() means to do some action to object.
If you don't have an action, or you don't have an object, you don't use :, you use .
Properties which you set with = will never use :, only . -- these are not doing actions, it's just some plain ol' property of the object.
BrickColor is not an object. It just holds onto a new constructor that you can get with . as in BrickColor.new("Bright red")

use script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
