[Actual Question] Why did I need to put a wait for this script?
Why would I need to put a wait(1) here for this script to work when you press a button? I'd appreciate if anyone could explain to me why I must put a wait(1)
wait(1)
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Button = script.Parent
local BodyColors = Character:FindFirstChild("Body Colors")
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
BodyColors.HeadColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
BodyColors.LeftArmColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
BodyColors.LeftLegColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
BodyColors.RightArmColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
BodyColors.RightLegColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
BodyColors.TorsoColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
end)

Probably to prevent the common error of `Character (a nil value)`. Just simply do `Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()` TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 6y

You actually don't need a wait there at all. The likely error is you're calling Player.Character too early as they may not even have been loaded in all the way. Best advice is this.
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded
repeat wait() until Character
local Button = script.Parent
local BodyColors = Character:FindFirstChild("Body Colors")
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
BodyColors.HeadColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
BodyColors.LeftArmColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
BodyColors.LeftLegColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
BodyColors.RightArmColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
BodyColors.RightLegColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
BodyColors.TorsoColor3 = Color3.new(1, 232/255, 220/255)
end)
Hope this helps :)
