Enum.Material.Slate is not a valid EnumItem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I cannot figure out why this error keeps coming up. Slate is for sure a valid EnumItem but it just doesn’t work for some reason. This is my code.

local function getWriteableMaterial(Material)
	return Enum.Material[Material]	
end
game.Workspace.Part.Material = getWriteableMaterial("Slate")

Thanks so much for the help.

Copy-pasting your code exactly as it is works fine for me without errors.

This is working fine for me also what is the exact error you are getting?

Just gonna say something, but you can just set the part’s Material using the string itself.

game.Workspace.Part.Material = "Slate"

Is this the only code in your script? This code works perfectly.

This code doesn’t have a problem and I don’t think you tried debugging or testing it either, so I’m not quite sure why you’re posting a thread about it. To double over that, is there a reason you even need the function in the first place? You can set the Material of a part to an Enum’s string or the raw Enum.

game.Workspace.Part.Material = "Slate"
game.Workspace.Part.Material = Enum.Material.Slate
game.Workspace.Part.Material = Enum.Material[Material]
