Brick color changing script not working

#1

I want to change the color of the brick according to the time of the day. But it doesn’t seem to be working.

part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white") 

while true do
    wait(0.1)
    local timeoday = game.Lighting.ClockTime 
    if timeoday > 17.6 or timeoday < 6.4 then
 part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")    
else
 part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black")    
 end

You forgot to end the loop with ‘end’.

part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white") 

while true do
    wait(0.1)
    local timeoday = game.Lighting.ClockTime 
    if timeoday > 17.6 or timeoday < 6.4 then
 		part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")    
	else
		part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black")    
 	end
end

This should be ok. Next time check the output for possible errors.

You didn’t change anything, that’s why it’s not working. Add the ‘end’ after the last ‘end’.

This worked

local part = script.Parent

while true do
    wait(.1)
    local timeoday = game.Lighting.ClockTime 
    if timeoday > 17.6 or timeoday < 6.4 then
         script.parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
    else
        script.parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black")
    end
end

You have to define what ‘part’ is and put something like that at the beginning of the script:
For example

local part = game.Workspace.Baseplate

or

local part = game.Workspace.Car.Seat

depending on where the part is and how it is called.
