Asked by

Hi,

I have this script and I want it to change the colour of the button on the Surface Gui when clicked. Everything else works apart from the colour changing.

Please help!

This is the script;

LP = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.SpotLight1.Light.SpotLight

function Click(mouse)
 if LP.Enabled == true then
        LP.Enabled = false
script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 = BackgroundColor3.new("163, 162, 165")
else
        LP.Enabled = true
script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 = BackgroundColor3.new("165, 0, 0")
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(Click)

Any more questions just ask

Thanks Kieran

You use Color3.new(0-255, 0-255, 0-255) for colors.

When we look on the Wiki for BackgroundColor3 we'll see that it's a Color3 (not a "BackgroundColor3").

From that article, we see the constructor - the function to make new values - is Color3.new(Number r, Number g, Number b). (r is "red", g is "green", and b is "blue" in the RGB color model)

Please keep in mind that Color.new's parameters range between 0 and 1 instead of values ranging between 0 and 255 as it is shown in the Properties tab.

For example, web color Gold is RGB (255, 215, 0); to make this color, we would use Color3.new(255/255, 215/255, 0) or Color3.new(1, 0.843,0).
