Colors not working as expected?

Asked Aug 1, 2018504 views4 answers

I'm sorry, this is a really basic question but something weird is happening with colors. I'm making a part that displays a teams color directly from a brickcolor variable that is the teams color. When this script runs, I get an error that says bad argument #1 to 'new' (Color3 expected, got BrickColor). I'm sorry again, this is my first time ever picking up a script so thanks for any help given.

while wait() do
    wait(.5)
    script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.TeamColor.Value)
end

A BrickColor value is already a brickcolor. Therefore, you do not need to add a new brickcolor. Literally just take the value and set it equal to the property of the brick.

while true do
	wait(.01)
	if script.Parent.BrickColor ~= script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.TeamColor.Value then
	script.Parent.BrickColor = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.TeamColor.Value
	end
	end

I tested this out, and I believe this should work.

while wait(.5) do
    script.Parent.BrickColor = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.TeamColor.Value
end

There's no need to make a new BrickColor because the TeamColor is already a BrickColor.

If you are using a Color3Value for the TeamColor value, then you would need to use Color3 instead of BrickColor to change the color...

script.Parent.Color = Color3.new(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.TeamColor.Value)

You can't use Color3 values for BrickColors or BrickColors for Color3s.

You used BrickColor instead of Color3. And when you are using Color3, u can not use BrickColor.

while true do
    wait(.5)
    script.Parent.Color = Color3.new(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.TeamColor.Value)
end

**NOTE: **If this would not work, add more details and message me!
