Why does this script not detect when a player has a blue head?
I'm trying to make a script to check when a new player joins so it can prompt them with instructions. I have a script which changes there head to the color bright blue, and all the colors for a noob.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local head = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Head
wait(0.5)
if head.BrickColor == "Bright blue" then
print(player.Name.." is a noob!")
else
print("Not a noob")
end
end)
end)
My script prints "Not a noob" but my head color is Bright blue. Anyway to fix this?

You need to use the `BrickColor.new()` constructor:
`if head.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright blue") then` LukeSmasher 619 — 4y

You're comparing a string to a userdata.
This will always result in false. What you can do is compare the name of the BrickColor to "Bright blue".
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
print(player, character.Head.BrickColor.Name == "Bright blue" and "Is a noob" or "Not a noob")
end)
end)
A few changes
- Used the character variable. It's unreliable to get the character from workspace since a player could have the same name as something in the workspace like
Terrain. - Used
:GetService(). This is the canonical way to get services.:GetService()gets a service by class name, as opposed to by name. - Removed the control structures in place of a "ternary". If the brick color name is bright blue,
character.Head.BrickColor.Name == "Bright blue" and "Is a noob" or "Not a noob"evaluates to"Is a noob", otherwise will evalúate to"Not a noob"because they are not bright blue
