How do I change a ParticleEmitter's Color with Color3Value?

Asked 731 views1 answers

I want the ParticleEmitter to change it's color but it keeps giving me this error:

18:25:04.004 - Workspace.Slot1.ParticleSlot1.ParticleScript:7: bad argument #3 to 'Color' (ColorSequence expected, got Color3) 18:25:04.005 - Stack Begin 18:25:04.006 - Script 'Workspace.Slot1.ParticleSlot1.ParticleScript', Line 7 18:25:04.007 - Stack End

I don't know how to get ColorSequence in a Value Object to put in a model but this is the code that I have right now:

local Union = script.Parent.Union
local Particle = script.Parent.Part.ParticleEmitter
local Armor = game.Workspace.BasicArmor.BasicWaterArmor.BasicWaterArmorLevel1
local Color = Armor.ColorValue.Value

Union.Color = Color
Particle.Color = Color

The code is in a regular script. Also, for some odd reason, the Union isn't changing it's color and isn't giving out an error. Is there a way to fix this? Any help is appreciated!

Your union isn't changing color because the UsePartColor property of the union is set to false. Set it to true.

For the particle emitter, keep in mind that the Color property is a ColorSequence and not a Color3 value. In order to set the color of the particle emitter correctly you would have to construct a ColorSequence value from the Color variable in your code.

local Union = script.Parent.Union
Union.UsePartColor = true
local Particle = script.Parent.Part.ParticleEmitter
local Armor = game.Workspace.BasicArmor.BasicWaterArmor.BasicWaterArmorLevel1
local Color = Armor.ColorValue.Value
 
Union.Color = Color
Particle.Color = ColorSequence.new(Color)

Thanks so much! I had no idea how to do ColorSequence or that unions had to be told to usepartcolor.
