Coloring parts using "GetChildren()"

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’m making a car script where you buy it it will spawn you a car and stuff, but I’m lazy to get every color part to color the color they wanted, so I tried this and I don’t see the problem here.

				for _, child in pairs(Colors:GetChildren()) do
					if child.Name == "Change" then
						child.Color = Color3.new(1, 0.666667, 0.498039)
					end
				end

It only changed 1 part color, how do I make it so it changes all the others?

(The color variable just points out where the colorparts are at.)

If I remember correctly, :GetChildren() returns an Array, therefore you must use ipairs instead of pairs.

You can read more about it here and here.

I tried both of em and uh, just colored 1 part again.

The parts name you want to change is “Change” correct?

Are the more parts with the name “Change” or just 1?

There are several parts named “Change” that’s what i’m trying to figure out how to color all of them parts instead of just 1.

Yes but can I see? Because I did this and it worked:

local color = workspace

for _, child in pairs(color:GetChildren()) do
	if child.Name == "Change" then
		child.Color = Color3.new(1, 0.666667, 0.498039)
	end
end

Alright, here it is

local Colors = game.ServerStorage.Cars.Sedan.Body.Colors

hmmm, this is weird because I did the same thing and it works for me:

local Colors = game.ServerStorage.Cars.Sedan.Body.Colors

for _, child in pairs(Colors:GetChildren()) do
	if child.Name == "Change" then
		child.Color = Color3.new(1, 0.666667, 0.498039)
	end
end

See, mine changed it only on 1 part for some reason.

Maybe use waitforchild? That might work, maybe the other parts are not added yet?

Oh yeah true, let me try that out.

And also, maybe add a wait:

local Colors = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild('Cars'):WaitForChild('Body'):WaitForChild('Colors')

wait(1)

for _, child in pairs(Colors:GetChildren()) do
	if child.Name == "Change" then
		child.Color = Color3.new(1, 0.666667, 0.498039)
	end
end

I’ll try using wait() then, give me couple sec

#19

Just do this:

local Colors = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild('Cars'):WaitForChild('Body'):WaitForChild('Colors')

wait(1) -- change this to whatever you want

It should work.

ohh in the variable, i get it, alright.

#21

using pairs or ipairs it still works normally
