Functions that look like "Part:Change(Color)"?

[bunnyhoppasociety (bunny)]

Hello!

I was wondering, is it possible to have functions that look like Variable:Change(Color)?

Here would be an example.

local Part = script.Parent;
Part:Change("Really black");

I’ve tried making one but I just don’t know how to make it work.

This might be more work for whats possible and I would like roblox to add a system to add custom methods but currently this is the only way to do so and it involves metatables etc

Making your own methods for Instances

Hello, I’m Mega and this is my very first community tutorial! So I have seen many people who want their custom methods on Instances but are not sure how they would make it work efficiently being global. Metatables are great and we can utilize them here. Lets try to make a system in which you can use services along with your custom functions and properties! Step 1 Firstly lets start by making a service handler that would act as the middleman. You could have it as a module script in ServerSc…

You can do this with modules.
Modules have a system where you can do in the module script

function module:Change(Part,Color)
Part.Color = Color
end

Using a ModuleScript like @SirHammerWorks said is a good idea and an easy alternative to making methods for the Part class. Keep in mind that you’re going to need to instantiate a new BrickColor in the function if you intend to simply input the name of a BrickColor as an argument.

function Change(Part,Color)
	if(Part:IsA("BasePart")) then --checks if the first parameter is a part
		Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(Color)
	end
end
