Yes it does so instead of
Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(0.3,0.6,0.9)
do
color_change.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(0.3,0.6,0.9)

#11

Does it change every 3 seconds?
If not change part to color_change
Edit:
Make the script inside of color_change
and then instead of color_change, do script.parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(255,0,0)
[Red, u can change it]

#12

its supposed to thank you for the help :slight_smile:

#13

Oh I actually got it; maybe

while true do
    wait (3)
    game.Workspace.color_change.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(0.3,0.6,0.9)
    wait (3)
    game.Workspace.color_change.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(0.1,0.4,0.7)
end

You have the show the script which part it is actually meant to be changing, otherwise it wouldn’t know which part to change (If you put the part in a model or folder you’ll have to change this by doing something like game.Workspace.Model.color_Change.BrickColour or something like that)

#14

wait do i put it in workspace or serverscriptstorage or the part

#15

wait (3)

script.parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(0.1,0.4,0.7)

Make the script the child of the color change block

Thats just going to loop infinitely, regardless if you are touching it…
