That code won't work because LocalPlayer won't work.

local function Touched(Part)
local Player = Part.Parent:GetPlayerFromCharacter() -- Instead of localplayer, we find the parent of the touched bodypart (the player's character model in workspace) and use GetPlayerFromCharacter() to define the Player
script.Parent.Color = Player.TeamColor
end


script.Parent.Touched:connect(Touched)

This code won't work because it will return the error that GetPlayerFromCharacter is not a valid property of model. You have to go through the player. Like this: game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Part.Parent) GrandNebula 14 — 7y

So, the way to go about doing this is using TeamColor, Touchedevent, GetPlayerFromCharacter, and parameters. I recommend you take a look at the wiki links I leave at the bottom of this answer to make sure you learn something from this!

This is a normal script, that should be placed in ServerScriptServiceor Workspace.

local Brick = game.Workspace.Brick -- Change this to the location of the part 

Brick.Touched:Connect(function(hit) -- Makes a function that occurs when Brick is touched
    local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) -- Gets the player in game.Players           using the model of the player in Workspace

    Brick.BrickColor = Player.TeamColor
end)

I recommend adding a debounce, and several WaitForChild's to make sure that what is touching the Brick is a player. These are whole other topics, though.
