Is there a way to change the color of multiple blocks in just one string?

Asked 630 views2 answers

The title pretty much says it all but, say if I didn't want to type out each one.

Something like this:

a = game.Workspace.Part1,Part2,Part3

a.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1004)

I know that script would not work but is there any way like it?

I don't really care to type it out like this: 

a = game.Workspace.Part1
b = game.Workspace.Part2
c = game.Workspace.Part3

a.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1004)
b.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1004)
c.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1004)

I've got 88 parts that I need to change the color 24 times.

Thanks, Bb1

A general tip: Use brick color names as the parameter to BrickColor.new instead of the number. It makes it a lot easier to read and figure out!

You could make a function to change the color of all the parts.

local parts = Workspace.Model -- Location of parts

function setColor(color)
	for _, p in pairs(parts:GetChildren()) do
		p.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(color)
	end
end

-- example
while true do
	setColor("Bright red")
	wait(20)
	setColor("Bright blue")
	wait(40)
end

Well, yes. If you wouldn't mind grouping them all together, then it'll be possible to do it all in less lines. You'd need to use either the generic for loop or the numeric for loop. I'll use the generic.

Model = game.Workspace["Model"]:GetChildren() -- You can obviously change the name to your liking.

for i,v in pairs(Model) do
	v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1004)
	wait(1)
	v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(1003) -- Really black
end
