game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
local BodyColors = Instance.new("BodyColors")
if (BodyColors ~= nil) then
BodyColors.LeftHand = BrickColor.new("Really black")
BodyColors.RightHand = BrickColor.new("Really black")
BodyColors.LeftLowerArm = BrickColor.new("Really black")
BodyColors.RightLowerArm = BrickColor.new("Really black")
end
end)
I am a new developer. T-T
This is a better method, it's usually assumed if you desire to change the body colours of a Character, you work with the Characters BodyParts directly. It would look somewhat like so
Also if we're dealing with Server Passed Events, then we know that an argument will be passed along from the ClientFired giving us their PlayerObject, remember though the Player is always the first argument passed, don't confuse it for another, never forget to reference it.
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player) --// Always the first passed.
local Character = Player.Character
if (Character ~= nil) then
local BodyParts = {}
for _,BodyPart in ipairs(Character:GetChildren())
if (BodyPart:IsA("BasePart")) then
table.insert(BodyParts, BodyPart) --// Give us just the BodyParts of either R15 or R6
end
end
for i = 1,#BodyParts do
BodyParts[i].BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black")
end
end
end)
There are definitely different, maybe even simpler ways, but this is the method I know, so I hope this helps you out, Good Luck!
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded ?? -1
Simple mistake, fixed, that was a little unnecessary to downvote, just let me know
-1 is still valid this will leak threads. The code can yield on the CharacterAdded event but the player can just leave the game before this event runs.
Great, thanks fro the tip, I'll fix that
Happy?
Yes Happyyyyyyy
It wasn't meant for you;) does it work?
There is a lot of redundancy in this code but at it will work now.

you should work on changing the properties of the bodycolor inside someones character, either that or parent it under a character
local BodyColors = Instance.new("BodyColors") will never be nil.
It could be, someone can easily destroy an instance these days
unless Instance.new somehow malfunctions which would never happen
