Cant change a part's color with attributes

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so basically, im trying to change a part’s color with attributes. dont ask why

here is the script that im trying

local ye = script.Parent

local color2 = ye:GetAttribute("color")

ye.Color = color2

which surprisingly doesnt work. and the error says:
Workspace.Part.Script:4: invalid argument #3 (Color3 expected, got nil)
what do i do?

#2

Are you sure attribute’s name is “color” and not “Color” and you sure you created one?

#3

Can you show the line where the “color” attribute is being set?

#4

yes.image

#5

Also it seems like Roblox doesn’t want us to be using attributes anyway:

Can’t you just store the color value in a variable?

#7

Beta for attributes is out already, they just haven’t updated the API reference page yet or they are waiting to move it out of beta.

if they wouldnt want us using it they wouldnt release it as a beta.

and for this

then there would be no point of having a color attributes.

He sent an image of it already.

#11

yes

#12

Are you sure you added it to the correct part or sure that script is parented to the part with attribute?

Space is not allowed in attribute names, creating one with space in it would throw error for containing illegal characters.
