Dear Jesus, no offense, but this is massive and very ugly. Please try to not be offended. Also is there a output?

A little bit of context about what's wrong is more helpful than just a bunch of lines of code. -- is there any output?

I usually use 'while true do' for a loop, I'm not familiar with the 'repeat' operator. Make sure you're using that correctly.

The only other thing I see that is strange, is that you never gave any value for the "Wait()" commands at the start and the end. I thought you always had to specify a time to wait, and that leaving it empty would count as an error. (I could be wrong.)

I said give me output, and I will help you sir. Also I said try not to take offense to it, it could be better. After I figured the problem out from output I was gonna re-write it and make it more efficient for you.

Again, you just posted a large block of code and just wrote "Fix this."

It's really hard to fix it if we don't know how it's broken.

Does the game tell you there are scripting errors in your output window when it runs?
Does it just never change color?
Does it spontaneously catch fire?

[Issues]
1) It's 'script.Parent' not 'Script.Parent'
2) You'd use 'while true do' and not 'repeat' in this instance.

That's all I can find wrong.

[Ambig Notes]
- 'wait()' will wait between 0.03 and 0.04 seconds, so if you just did "wait()" it'd work fine.
- You don't need the 'wait()' at the very end. It just doesn't make sense. If you want the wait to be longer, remember you can put it inside the brackets.

Wait() doesen't create an error, it allows the computer to take its time, its practicly anti-lag, and time to debug itself.

No, it doesn't allow the computer to take it's time. If you do not put a value within the parenthesis then it'll simply default to around 1/30th of a second (Between 0.03 and 0.04).

Ya could always just put in p.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(math.random())
And assign a part the variable "p."
