How do you use tools to change a part's color when clicked?
I have made a click detector and coded a script that will change the part's color when it is clicked but now I want to make it only turn that color when the player clicks on the brick with a certain tool.
clickDec = script.Parent.ClickDetector
part = script.Parent
clickDec.MouseClick:connect(function(player)
if player.Character.PartClicker and then
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really Red")
end
end)
The MouseClick event doesn't even get called when they are holding the tool and it shows I can click on the part when I'm not holding a tool but when I am it doesn't.
Does anyone know how to make it so the tool can execute an event when it clicks on the part?

you can use Rays instead of click detectors Is_Hunter 152 — 5y

You can use Rays to do it
-- this script is inside the tool
-- LOCALSCRIPT
local Tool = script.Parent
local Players = game:GetService"Players"
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Distance = 300 -- a distance from where you can change the part's color
local BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") -- wich color you want to apply on the part
local function onActivation()
local Ray = Ray.new(tool.Handle.CFrame.p, (Mouse.Hit.p - Tool.Handle.CFrame.p).unit * Distance)
local Part, Position = workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray, Character, false, true)
Part.BrickColor = BrickColor
end
Tool.Activated:connect(onActivation)
I hope it helps.
