  1. What do you want to achieve?
    Incredibly simple. I just want to detect when a part changes color and have a point light connected to it change color as well.
    2/3. What is the issue?
    None of the scripts I tried worked.
    I mainly tried using .Changed. I do think that’s the way to go about this, but I’m just not sure exactly what I need.
    This is the code I used to change the color of the part if it helps.
local IsActive = false

local function Change(Hit)
	if Hit.Parent:IsA("Model") and Hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") and IsActive == false then
	IsActive = true
	CPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new ("Lime green") 
	wait(2)
	CPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new ("Really red")
	IsActive = false
	end 
end	
CPart.Touched:Connect(Change)

Why can’t you just turn on or off the light while changing the part color?

Something like this:

local IsActive = false

local function Change(Hit)
	if Hit.Parent:IsA("Model") and Hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") and IsActive == false then
	IsActive = true
	CPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new ("Lime green") 
Light.Enabled = true
	wait(2)
Light.Enabled = false
	CPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new ("Really red")
	IsActive = false
	end 
end	
CPart.Touched:Connect(Change)

It’s Really Easy, Just use

local LineOfSight = 100

local RS = game:GetService("RunService")

RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local rayparams = RaycastParams.new()
	rayparams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {script.Parent}

	local ray = workspace:Raycast(script.Parent.Position, script.Parent.CFrame.LookVector * LineOfSight, rayparams)
	if ray then
		if ray.Instance.Name == "ColorChangingPart" then --or whatever your part is called
			script.Parent.Color = ray.Instance.Color
		end
	end
end)

hope this worked, you’re welcome.
