So here's the basics:
There's a block called "Light". This block is touched by opposing teams. whose colors are Bright red and Bright Blue. Light starts off as Medium Stone Grey. As a team touches light, light is supposed to change to that color. Now, for each color that light becomes, a block called "Head" changes position (it's a teleporter, if you need to know). I've written this myself, and I think I'm pretty close, but Light does not change color and output says nothing, no red underlines in the script, nothing. So here it is:

function touched(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) == nil then return end

script.Parent.BrickColor = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent).TeamColor


if game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey") then
game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Head.Vector3.new(182.5, 282.4, 1290)
end
if game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Light.BrickColor == ("Medium stone grey") == false then
end


if game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright Blue") then
game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Head.Vector3.new(188.5, 262, -129)
end
if game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Light.BrickColor == ("Bright Blue") == false then
end


if game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright Red") then
game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Head.Vector3.new(179.5, 262, -129)
end
if game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Light.BrickColor == ("Bright Blue") == false then
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(touched)

print ("CP Accepted")


end

Please help me with this - I've been constantly working on it to no avail. If you need any more information, just say so!

You had a a lot of errors, post back if you get any in the output now.

local brick = script.Parent
local db = true
function touched(hit)
if hit and hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and db then
db = false
p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent).
brick.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(tostring(p.TeamColor))
if game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey") then
game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Head.Position = Vector3.new(182.5, 282.4, 1290)
end
if game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright Blue") then
game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Head.Position = Vector3.new(188.5, 262, -129)
end
if game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright Red") then
game.Workspace.TheCanopy.Head.Position = Vector3.new(179.5, 262, -129)
end
print ("CP Accepted")
wait()
db = true
end
end

brick.Touched:connect(touched)

I found this on the wiki:

function onTouched(otherPart)
print(otherPart.Parent.Torso.BrickColor) -- Outputs the name of the color
if otherPart.Parent.Torso.BrickColor == "Bright red" then -- This will not match
print("Never gets executed")
elseif otherPart.Parent.Torso.BrickColor.Name == "Bright red" then -- This will match
print("Match occurred")
end
end




Never seen BrickColor.Name but if the wiki says it it might work.

As soon as I touched light, output said the following:
10:38:44.019 - Brick is not a valid member of Player
10:38:44.022 - Script "Workspace.TheCanopy.Light.Position Change", Line 7
10:38:44.023 - stack end
10:38:44.027 - Disconnected event because of exception

Thanks for all the help thus far!

On this line "brick.BrickColor == BrickColor.new(tostring(p.TeamColor))" the red underlining says "'=' expected near '=='"

This works fine for me, tested. You didn't change anything?

local brick = script.Parent
local canopy = Workspace.TheCanopy
local db = true
function touched(hit)
if hit and hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and db then
db = false
p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
brick.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(tostring(p.TeamColor))
if canopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey") then
canopy.Head.Position = Vector3.new(182.5, 282.4, 1290)
elseif canopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright Blue") then
canopy.Head.Position = Vector3.new(188.5, 262, -129)
elseif canopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright Red") then
canopy.Head.Position = Vector3.new(179.5, 262, -129)
end
print ("CP Accepted")
wait()
db = true
end
end

brick.Touched:connect(touched)

I didn't edit it - it printed "CP Accepted", Light turned blue, yet the block "Head" did not move.

Put cp accepted before the first end. It moved for me, did you make sure your TeamColor matched one in the script?

My team color is Bright blue - so yes, it should work.
Maybe I accidentally did something to it, here it is again:
local brick = script.Parent
local canopy = Workspace.TheCanopy
local db = true
function touched(hit)
if hit and hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and db then
db = false
p = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
brick.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(tostring(p.TeamColor))
if canopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey") then
canopy.Head.Position = Vector3.new(182.5, 282.4, 1290)
elseif canopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright Blue") then
canopy.Head.Position = Vector3.new(188.5, 262, -129)
elseif canopy.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright Red") then
canopy.Head.Position = Vector3.new(179.5, 262, -129)
print ("CP Accepted")
end
wait()
db = true
end
end

Oh, wait - (now this might make me look incredibly stupid) did I ever tell you that Light and Head are both in a Model called "The Canopy"? If not, you may have to help me with it again (because I'm a horrible scripter).
Thanks again!!!

Should the script go in Light, or should I have a seperate part like you do?
