Can't change a model descendant material and color

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, I’m currently trying to change a model material and color but they don’t work, I already looked at many Devforum posts but can’t seem to find the right one.

This is the script:

			for i, part in pairs(Aircraft:GetDescendants()) do
				if part:IsA("BasePart") or part:IsA("MeshPart") or part:IsA("UnionOperation") then
					part.Material = Enum.Material.CorrodedMetal
					part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Dark stone grey")
					print("CRASHED")

Are you sure you are assigning those properties to a Part?

Yeah it’s all properly assigned to the parts. The problem is that it doesn’t fully change all the parts material and color

if its a union you have to turn on a property called UsePartColor.

This could fix your issue. About the material i’m not sure.

No, all of them are MeshParts.

well if so then try only

part:IsA("MeshPart")

I mean i don’t see the reason why its not working.

Is there any errors in the output ? And also you only have to use part:IsA(“BasePart”) because BasePart includes parts, meshparts and unions

There are no errors on the output and i tried everything like is a meshpart is a basepart is a unionoperation but it still doesn’t work. It works somehow like this:

I had to activate the script 3 times and it makes 3 random parts activated

You can see it successfully made a part material and color change to its objective. But it’s only working one by one.

Could it be my debounce script?

#11

I tested it, yes it was the debounce. But I need the debounce for my aircraft so the explode sound doesn’t spam. So i don’t really know what i should use

Alright.

local Seat = script.Parent.Seat
local Hitbox = script.Parent.Parent.Body.CollisionPart
local Engine = script.Parent.Parent.VehicleEngine

local ExplosionSmall = script.ExplosionSmall
local ExplosionBig = script.ExplosionBig

local ImpactSoundSmall = script.ImpactSoundSmall
local ImpactSoundBig = script.ImpactSoundBig

local Aircraft = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.AircraftModel

Hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if Seat.Velocity.Magnitude >= 80 and hit then
		ImpactSoundSmall:Play()
		ImpactSoundBig:Play()
		ExplosionSmall:Clone()
		ExplosionSmall.Parent = Engine
		ExplosionSmall:Emit(150)
		ExplosionBig:Clone()
		ExplosionBig.Parent = Engine
		ExplosionBig:Emit(150)
		for i, part in pairs(Aircraft:GetDescendants()) do
			if part:IsA("BasePart") or part:IsA("MeshPart") or part:IsA("UnionOperation") then
				part.Material = Enum.Material.Sandstone
				part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Dark stone grey")
			end
		end
	end
end)

Sorry i didn’t see it. Ehm did you already delete debounce or?

#16

Yeah I deleted the debounce cooldown

#17

Do you need the debounce version?

#18

oh man i wasn’t on devfourm sorry ehm if you don’t have debounce do you still have the audio issue that it spams? Cause when i am looking at it i don’t see an issue.

#19

Yeah the audio spams whenever the plane crash. I’m trying to make it stop when still playing

#20 
Hitbox.Touched:Oncet(function(hit)

You could try this!
