Gradual color changing in for loops

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I’ve been learning how to script, and ive gotten to this point where i was wondering:

Is it possible to get a for loop to change the color of a brick gradually, based on values in a table. for example

local MainFolder = game.Workspace.Testttt
local MainChildren = MainFolder:GetChildren("Parts")

local MyTable = {Color3.fromRGB(165, 0, 0), Color3.fromRGB(165, 0, 2)}


while true do 
for i, v in pairs(MainChildren)do
    v.BrickColor = ??????????????????????????????????
end
end```

--[If it's possible, how would i go about writing it in the script? i cant seem to find anything on the Wiki...

I am aware that i could use tweening, but i am trying to understand for loops better before advancing further. :) thanks.

add a wait in the while true and change the color instead of the brickcolor

You can use Color3:lerp() to produce this effect without tweening. This example will cycle through red, green, and blue.

local Colors = {Color3.fromRGB(150, 0, 0), Color3.fromRGB(0, 150, 0), Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 150)}

for _, NewColor in pairs(Colors) do
	for Alpha = 0, 1, 0.05 do
		Object.Color = Object.Color:lerp(NewColor, Alpha)
		wait()
	end
end

Alpha basically refers to what proportion of the NewColor is present; for instance, an Alpha value of 0.5 would mix the colors evenly.

Tweenservice is basically what you wanna go with.

function gui:colour_change_frame(trans,colour,speed)
	 local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
     local goal = {} 
     goal.BackgroundColor3 = colour
	 local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(speed) --duration 
     local tween = TweenService:Create(trans, tweenInfo, goal)
     tween:Play()
end

Here is some old module function I wrote that does this. Just use this, but make sure you change the goal.

Oh I didn’t read it. I don’t see why not though but alright.
