I think that we should have a better way of coloring our parts than just using brick colors. Yes, I know that you can use the BrickColor.new(r,g,b), but it still only turns it into a fixed brickcolor code. We should have an ability to switch between BrickColors and Color3, like a check box or something.

Also, for all those that say that I just want 2000 shades of the same color. My answer is: You are right! But those shades can make a big difference on high part count models.

they should just make it so doing BrickColor.new(r,g,b) would actually make it the color you specified instead of the nearest color, so then plugins can pop up with a color picker and at the same time not confuse new players with the colors

Colours should be basic, Roblox was mainly made to teach children how to develop games, RGB is already confusing a lot of people, so no support.

@ralley
what about my idea?
the Properties window remains unchanged, but with scripts you can set it to the specific color through BrickColor.new(r,g,b) so you could download a plugin to have an RGB color picker

RGB values aren't confusing at all

if someone is good and familiar enough with Lua to be able to script, they won't be confused by RGB values

As long as it's a plugin, since mostly good developers use plugins, and they know how RGB system works.

not a roblox official plugin
just a modification to the rendering engine or whatever and the API so if you do BrickColor.new(182,2,48) it'd make the exact color rather than the nearest color

"ROBLOX was mainly made to teach children how to develop games."

... Did anyone suggest to completely remove all colors and make "BrickColor.new" as the only way to paint any parts?

P.S. It was MADE. It was updated to the point where it is not to teach children how to develop games. There isn't an official tutorial to scripting as far as I know.

The wiki is confusing for me (a 17 year old) and it sometimes takes hours of research to find the article you need.

The Wiki was very simple to me, and I learnt scripting when I was 13, you can start with beginner wikis though.

I know how to script in Lua -_-... I'm just saying that some advanced material like World space to gui are too well hidden, you have to go through all the subcategories of many things to find it.

What to expect then, that's the world of scripting, you don't get things in a plate of gold in-front of you, how do you expect to learn it if it is like how you say.

And Roblox has a very basic and simple scripting language, it's simplified Lua, so nothing should be "Hidden".

Plus lets not forget that Roblox is slowly moving towards the advanced type of a game engine with simple graphics. The physics are slowly becoming more and more realistic and so should the things we have to work with.

Exactly, you just busted your own fact. Children can't learn roblox development easily anymore so they should at least finish what they wanted to do, make roblox a great game.

It's very simple though, and searching will teach the kids about it, so they know more about programming, and it will make it very easy for them to learn real scripting languages.

Lua is a real scripting language mate. But it's primarily used in server management because of it's speed and small size.

First you stated that Roblox should be simpler, now you say that complicated is better. Decide already man!
