Why doesn't my loop change all parts' colors?
I have a simple script that is supposed to turn a player's skin tone to light blue.
hit.Parent["Body Colors"]:Destroy()
for i,v in pairs(hit.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if v.ClassName == "Part" then
v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Light blue")
end
end
"hit" represents a limb, so hit.Parent is the character's model. For some reason it only does it to one part.

if you add a wait() before the for loop it will work aazkao 787 — 5y

I am a bit rusty, so this may or may not work, but in my own experience I had to go do each individual body part when I wanted to change skin color/ material color/ transparency.
hit.Parent['Body Colors']:Destroy() -- Destroys Body Colors
for _,v in pairs(hit.Parent:GetChildren()) do -- Turns v into all Children of Parent
if v.ClassName == "Part" then -- Checks to see if the Childrens class is "Part"
v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Light blue") -- Tries to turn all children with classname "part" to color Light blue
end
end
I am terrible at explaining what you did wrong, so let me see if I can come up with a solution. Remember I am rusty to high h*ll so forgive me.
hit.Parent['Body Colors':Destroy()
for _,v in pairs(hit.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if v.ClassName == "Part" then
v["Left Leg"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Light blue")
v["Right Leg"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Light blue")
v["Left Arm"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Light blue")
v["Right Arm"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Light blue")
v["Torso"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Light blue")
v["Head"].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Light blue")
end
end
end
This may or may not work, like I said I am pretty rusty.

a "for loop" literates through a table, it doesnt just makes the variable everything in the table User#23365 30 — 5y

also use :IsA() instead of checking the classname and use "BasePart" instead of "Part" User#23365 30 — 5y

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Body Colors"):Remove()
for _,ctype in pairs(hit.Parent:GetChildren()) do -- ctype stands for class type
if ctype:IsA("Part") then
ctype.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Light blue")
end
end
end)
