How to make a button change a block?

Asked 396 views1 answers

Hello!

I'm trying to make a button in Roblox change a different block when pressed. So like say there was a button called "button" (creative I know), say there was a part named "receiver." I'd want it to be so that when button was clicked, receiver would change block texture, for example, from smooth plastic to neon.

I tried doing this with the code I used to make the block change color when pressed, but got no luck with that. I also tried mixing the color code, with a code that made the block change textures when you stepped on it. Once again, no luck.

Anyone know how to do this? Also excuse the username haha

Thanks in advance!

What you need to do is make a remote event (you seem new to this heres a link: https://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Remote_Functions_%26_Events )

So put a remote event in replicated storage then name it "ChangePart" this can actually be what ever you want but for the example we'll use this

make a Button then a local script in the button then type this

local button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangePart:FireServer(Enum.Material.Neon) -- neon can be changed but must Enum.Material
end)

now go to server script service and make a regular script and put this

game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangePart.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, Mat)-- first is always a player
local brick = --DefineBrick
brick.Material = mat
end)
