The error is pretty self explanatory it expects a Color3 value when you gave it a string. You can construct a Color3 with the Color3.new or Color3.fromRGB functions.
The former takes numbers ranging from [0, 1] and the latter takes numbers from [0, 255]
By the way instead of manually setting the text to something new use the string.sub function instead.
local Wo0t = script.Parent -- use local variables
Wo0t.BackgroundTransparency = 1
Wo0t.TextScaled = 1
local goal = "Welcome!"
while true do
Wo0t.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 255)
for i = 1, #goal do
Wo0t.Text = string.sub(goal 1, i)
wait(0.2)
end
wait (1)
Wo0t.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 255)
for i = #goal, 1, -1 do
Wo0t.Text = string.sub(goal, 1, i)
wait(0.2)
end
Wo0t.Text = ""
wait(0.5)
end
print("Hello from mariofl2003!")
string.sub(str, starting, ending) basically returns the substring (portion of a string) at starting until ending, so string.sub("Hello world!", 7, 11) == "world". You can find more on this by doing a google search.
