Color3 Value Don't Work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#22

i am trying to get color3 value and set it as arg to the server and inside the server it will change it to everyone

#23

i undarstand what you said but i just need it work like if the NameTagValue changed then…
it will send the change value to server and the color change

the color change coming with the nametag change it can’t be changed without the nametag changed

#24

Then you have to change the color before changing the nametag, because currently this is your code flow:

-- set nametag
NameTagValue.Value = "Newbie"

-- NameTagValue.Changed fired!
-- sending colour to the server...

-- set color (too late! the old colour has been sent instead of this one!)
ColorTag.Value = Color3.fromRGB(84, 135, 255)
#26

you can see i tried it and still not work

#27

when player clicking the button its changing the color and the name
then it goes to the local script and there goes the .changed part and then when its changed its need to see whats the color3 value in that moment.

  1. player clicks button
    1a. nametag value changed
    1b. nametag text color value changed

  2. in the local script when it gets something changed in NameTagValue then its need to fire to server:
    2a. current nametag value
    2b. current nametag text color value

#28

Your current flow:

  1. player clicks button
  2. nametag value changed
    1. NameTagValue is changed!!!
    2. sending current nametag value to server
    3. sending current text color value to server
  3. nametag text color value changed (too late, the old text color was just send to the server)

You have to change it to this:

  1. player clicks button
  2. nametag text color value changed
  3. nametag value changed
    1. NameTagValue is changed!!!
    2. sending current nametag value to server
    3. sending current text color value to server

button script:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local NameTagValue = player:FindFirstChild("NameTagToSave")

local ColorTag = NameTagValue:FindFirstChild("Color")

ColorTag.Value = Color3.fromRGB(84, 135, 255)

NameTagValue.Value = "Newbie"

end)

local script that fires to server the changes:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local NameTagValue = player:FindFirstChild("NameTagToSave")

local ColorValue = NameTagValue:FindFirstChild("Color").Value

local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").NameTag

NameTagValue.Changed:Connect(function()

print(math.round(ColorValue.R * 255), math.round(ColorValue.G * 255), math.round(ColorValue.B * 255))

Event:FireServer(NameTagValue.Value)

end)

server script:

local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").NameTag

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,TagValue,Color)

--print(Color)

script.Parent.Text = TagValue

script.Parent.TextColor3 = Color3.new(Color)

end)

do you see what happens in the video color is changing but the problem is in the local script that fires to server the changes.

its not getting the current color its changing in the video the name tag but the color isn’t changing

#31

You moved .Value back outside of the event

It has to be in the event

When firing the server you’re not sending the color

You’re trying to make a Color3 from a Color3

#32

"You’re trying to make a Color3 from a Color3"
how can i set the color in the server script to be the color that is in the NameTagValue ?

#33

could you help me with it please

#34

Assuming you fired the server like so:

Event:FireServer(NameTagValue.Value, ColorValue.Value)

then

  • plr: Player
  • TagValue: string
  • Color: Color3

You’re basically doing this

local Color = Color3.fromRGB(84, 135, 255)

script.Parent.TextColor3 = Color3.new(Color)

Color is already a Color3, you do not have to turn it into a Color3.

#35

i am trying other way but still don’t work

can you tell me why its not working?

server script:

local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").NameTag

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,TagValue)
	print(plr.NameTagToSave.Color.Value)
	
	local color = Color3.fromRGB(math.round(plr.NameTagToSave.Color.Value.R * 255), math.round(plr.NameTagToSave.Color.Value.G * 255), math.round(plr.NameTagToSave.Color.Value.B * 255))

	
	
	script.Parent.TextColor3 =  color
	script.Parent.Text = TagValue
	--script.Parent.TextColor3 = Color3.new(math.round(ColorTag.R * 255), math.round(ColorTag.G * 255), math.round(ColorTag.B * 255))
end)
#36

What about it isn’t working?

#37

Also why are you doing this?

just do

script.Parent.TextColor3 =  plr.NameTagToSave.Color.Value
#38

look:


local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").NameTag

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,TagValue)
	
	local r = math.round(plr.NameTagToSave.Color.Value.R * 255)
	local g = math.round(plr.NameTagToSave.Color.Value.G * 255)
	local b = math.round(plr.NameTagToSave.Color.Value.B * 255)
	
	print(r)
	print(g)
	print(b)
	
	
	--script.Parent.TextColor3 =  Color3.fromRGB(r,g,b)
	script.Parent.Text = TagValue
	--script.Parent.TextColor3 = Color3.new(math.round(ColorTag.R * 255), math.round(ColorTag.G * 255), math.round(ColorTag.B * 255))
end)

from the prints above:
image

and when i do: “Color3.fromRGB(r,g,b)”
its not changing the color

I don’t find the point of converting from Color3.new to Color3.fromRGB.

If you do part.Color = color it should change the color of the part to the color you put inside the value.

Here’s what I did to convert the Color3.new to Color3.fromRGB.

local value = script.Parent.Value

print("Color3.new: "..value.R, value.G, value.B)
print("Color3.fromRGB: "..value.R * 255, value.G * 255, value.B * 255)

And it prints:
Untitled

Could you show the structure of the ui above the player? In the Explorer view.
