I am on LuaLearners' website. I am on the intermadiate tutorial and I have a task:
Make a script that, when touched:
1.) Changes color(red)
2.) Moves Random
3.) Kills Player
4.) And gives the message "Someone touched this brick"

function onTouched(part)
h = game.Workspace.Part
local p = Instance.new("Message",game.Workspace)
local b = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if b ~= nil then
b.Health = 0
h.Color = Color3.new(225, 0, 0)
h.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(0.5), math.random(0,5), math.random(0,5))
p.Text = "This is a message"
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

Is my string set up wrong? Do I have something in the wrong place? Please reply with, not just the correct way but, with an explanation please.

You can't change the color of a part with Color3, you need part.BrickColor=BrickColor.new(colorname).

Using Color3.new changed the color. I learned it on LuaLearners site.

After I'm done testing my script I'll go and check to see if Color3 works. I don't think it does though.
The roblox wiki is a better place to learn scriptin' though.

Guys stop messing his mind! I've always used Color3 on parts and even if I'd sound arrogant, I'd say I know Lua way better than you.

Though @op, you need to use number between 0 and 1, since Color3 doesn't accept 0-225. For you it worked, because it automatically rounds 225 down to 1.


In sec I'll look for your problem, so wait...

Color = Color3.new(blah, blah, blah) is indeed possible; it is easier to use a BrickColor.new("Blahblahblah") script though.

function onTouched(part)
h = game.Workspace.Part
local p = Instance.new("Message",game.Workspace)
local b = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if b then --You don't need ~= nil here, since "If b is true then continue"
--b.Health = 0 in my opinion, breaking joints will be more effective.
b.Parent:BreakJoints()
h.Color = Color3.new(1, 0, 0)--As I said, color3 ranges from 0 to 1
h.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(0,5), math.random(0,5), math.random(0,5))--You had 0.5 instead of 0,5
p.Text = "This is a message"
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)




I didn't see anything to critical in this script, but Idk try it.

I found the problem. I DID IT:D. I know thisis a noob script but I'm learning.

Problem script:

function onTouched(h) --funtction set to "h"
local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") --I changed "part""to "h" and changed "local h" to "local x" to keep the script from confusing the function with this line.
if h ~= nil then --changed "h" to "x"
h.Health = 0 --changed to "x"
b = game.Workspace.Part
b.Color = Color3.new(225,0,0)
b.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(1,5), math.random(1,5), math.random(1,5))
local p = Instance.new("Message",game.Workspace)
p.Text = "Somebody Touched The Part!"
end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)




function onTouched(h) --Kept same
local x = h.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") --changed to "x"
if x ~= nil then --changed to "x'
x.Health = 0 --changed to "x'
b = game.Workspace.Part
b.Color = Color3.new(225,0,0)
b.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(1,5), math.random(1,5), math.random(1,5))
local p = Instance.new("Message",game.Workspace)
p.Text = "Somebody Touched The Part!"
end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

Color3 is used for colors like smoke and fire. Not parts. That website is wrong if that's what you saw.

@doneyes. Umt stop messing his head! I've used Color3 on everything, since I like it better, because I don't have to check for name of color or it's index.

@ the color thing. It is a member of Part, but a deprecated one. It works, but rounds the Color3 to the nearest BrickColor that it can find.

part.Color = BrickColor.new("Really red").Color

part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")

part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(Color3.new(1,0,0))

--These all do the same thing.

Well, it always has rounded it down to BrickColor, but still, it's easier to do that, than checking the name of color.

Clor3 ranges from (0,225) in colors Red Blue and Green. You can make am mixture to change colors. And they do work on bricks.
