How do I change the point light color in scripting?
I am trying to make a disco light. I have it set up so when I click a button a loop will happen and switch between colors. But in order for that to work I first need to find out how to change the pointlight color in a script. In order for me to set up the loop I need to figure this out first.
local Light9 = game.Workspace.Light9.PointLight
function onClicked(playerWhoClicked)
Light9.Brightness = 100
Light9.Range = 60
Light9.Color --This is where I need help.
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

Color is a Color3 value. Set it by doing Light9.Color = Color3.new(red, green, blue), where the three colors are the rgb components of the color from 0 to 1.
To make those random, you can use math.random(), which returns a random value in the range [0, 1): Light9.Color = Color3.new(math.random(), math.random(), math.random()).
Alternatively, like kingdom5 said, you can get a random BrickColor and convert it into a Color3 by doing Light9.Color = BrickColor.Random().Color.
Quick note: If you are given values in the standard color range 0-255 like (255, 127, 63), you can make a Color3 out of those by simply dividing all of them by 255 to put them in the correct range: Color3.new(255/255, 127/255 , 63/255)
You need to give the man an example to really make ti go through man. c:
local light = game.Workspace.Part.PointLight light.Color = Color3.new(4, 175, 250) --cyan
