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.
01 | local Wo0t = script.Parent -- use local variables |
02 | Wo0t.BackgroundTransparency = 1 |
03 | Wo0t.TextScaled = 1 |
04 | local goal = "Welcome!" |
05 |
06 | while true do |
07 | Wo0t.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 255) |
08 | for i = 1, #goal do |
09 | Wo0t.Text = string.sub(goal 1, i) |
10 | wait(0.2) |
11 | end |
12 | wait (1) |
13 | Wo0t.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 255) |
14 | for i = #goal, 1, -1 do |
15 | Wo0t.Text = string.sub(goal, 1, i) |
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.
