Will one error that happens when a script is ran cause lag?
Alright so I just asked recently on how to get my lights to change inside of a part inside of a model. I do not know why but I consistently get a error stating Pointlight is not a valid member of Script and I want to know if that will cause any lag. Here's the script if anyone can figure out where the error is coming from. I had help from Sasial. Thank you Sasial! THIS DOES WORK, I just want to remove the error if possible What the script does. It gets all the pointlights inside of a part thats inside a model named ArenaLights and changes it when the value is triggered. I consistently get the error of Pointlight is not a valid member of Script and I'm worried it will cause lag, will it and if it will, how can I fix this? I am a fairly new scripter so I apologize in advance if I don't understand what you're saying.
Lighting = game:GetService('Lighting')
ReplicatedStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage
parts = game.Workspace.ArenaLights:GetChildren()
--------------------------------
game.ReplicatedStorage.LightingEvents.ArenaLightsEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,arenalight)
if arenalight == "BrightWhite" then --White Lighting
for i,v in pairs(parts) do
v.PointLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
wait(0.01)
end
wait(0.01)
elseif arenalight == "White" then
for i,v in pairs(parts) do
v.PointLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
wait(0.01)
end
wait(0.01)
elseif arenalight == "Blackout" then
for i,v in pairs(parts) do
v.PointLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0)
wait(0.01)
end
wait(0.01)
end
end)
Thank you in advance for any time taken on this question and any answers submitted!

You probably have more than just the lights inside of ArenaLights. I've added a check with if statements to see if the part contains an object named PointLight (:FindFirstChild("PointLight")).
game.ReplicatedStorage.LightingEvents.ArenaLightsEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,arenalight)
local children = game.Workspace.ArenaLights:GetChildren()
if arenalight == "BrightWhite" then --White Lighting
for i, v in pairs(children) do
if v:FindFirstChild("PointLight") ~= nil then
v.PointLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
end
end
wait(0.01)
elseif arenalight == "White" then
for i, v in pairs(children) do
if v:FindFirstChild("PointLight") ~= nil then
v.PointLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
end
end
wait(0.01)
elseif arenalight == "Blackout" then
for i, v in pairs(children) do
if v:FindFirstChild("PointLight") ~= nil then
v.PointLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
end
end
wait(0.01)
end
end)
