Percentage of an area what colour?

Hey,

This may be a strange request but I'm sort of trying to try different things out to learn myself a bit, but I'm just wondering, say I had a map I've built and it's in the map folder in replicated storage, is there any way to find out what percentage of that map is a certain colour.

Example if there 100 blocks on the map, and 25 we're red and 75 were blue how would I get these numbers to work with.

Many thanks benmz41998

I'm sure there are multiple ways to figure this problem, but this is how I personally would write it.

R_S=game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
Map=R_S.Folder.Map

function FindColors()
	local BlueParts=0 -- The first two variables will be used to count how many blocks of the variable's corresponding color are present.
	local RedParts=0
	for k,block in pairs(Map:GetChildren()) do --For every instance inside of the map
		if block:IsA("BasePart") then --If the instance is a part
			if block.BrickColor.Name=="Really red" then -- If block matches color name
				RedParts=RedParts+1 --Add 1 to the counter
			if block.BrickColor.Name=="Deep blue" then 
				BlueParts=BlueParts+1
			end
		end
	end
	print ("Map: "..Map.Name.." has "..tostring(RedParts).." red parts and "..tostring(BlueParts).." blue parts.")
end

FindColors()

As for the percentage, you can just use the number of parts a certain color has and divide that among the total number of parts.
