How can I get my car to randomize all parts to the same color everytime the server is loaded?
I've created I script which was intended to change the color of a car randomly every time the server was loaded, It worked... sorta. Instead of it changing the parts on a car to a solid color, I got a mixture of the two colors I allowed in my script, Yellow and White. Some of the car is Yellow and some White. I'm assuming it's because It's rolling the random function each time a child with a name "part" is found.
01 | local sportscar2color = game.workspace.Cars.Sportscar2:GetChildren() |
02 | paintRandom = nil |
03 |
04 | function PaintCar(part) |
05 | paintRandom = math.random(1,2) |
06 | if paintRandom == 1 then |
07 | part.BrickColor = BrickColor.White() |
08 | elseif paintRandom == 2 then |
09 | part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Yellow() |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | for _, child in ipairs(sportscar2color) do |
14 | if child.Name == "Part" then |
15 | PaintCar(child) |
16 | end |
17 | end |
How can I get my car to spawn and change all parts to the same randomly picked color?

That's because you are repeating the function for each part. So you have to store the color somehow.
How I would do it is I would create a part and call it for example Test, and store the color in it.
01 | local Test = game.workspace.Test -- This refers to the part I created |
02 |
03 | local sportscar2color = game.workspace.Cars.Sportscar2:GetChildren() |
04 | paintRandom = nil |
05 |
06 | function PaintCar(part) |
07 | paintRandom = math.random(1,2) |
08 | if paintRandom == 1 then |
09 | part.BrickColor = BrickColor.White() |
10 | elseif paintRandom == 2 then |
11 | part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Yellow() |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 |
15 | PaintCar(Test) -- Calls the function on the part |

Alternatively, you could just change line 4 to "local paintRandom = math.random(1,2)", and remove line 7. Pyrondon 2089 — 8y

That is very clever either way, Thanks for the help. I am new to this but I have a general understanding. Dekadrachm 50 — 8y

That did it, I even added another car to it, although I had to add a wait of 0.1 because it didnt paint the cars anymore. Dekadrachm 50 — 8y

You can also use a BrickColorValue itsJooJoo 195 — 8y
