Do you have the outline on there? If so, please say the script you have and we can help you

#3

yes I have an outline,
and this is the script:
local t = 5;

while wait() do
local hue = tick() % t / t
local color = Color3.fromHSV(hue,1,1)
script.Parent.Color = color
end

it works fine on parts, but I need a script for SelectionBox, and UIGradient

#4

What do you mean by selection box?

#5

outline, a selection box is an outline

#6

How’s this?

To do the rainbow effect on the selection box you need to change it’s color3 property where textlabels you need to change the textcolor3, so i made a function to make each properties color rainbow.

The code would be the following:

local part = script.Parent
local selectionBox = part.SelectionBox

local billboardGui = part.BillboardGui
local textLabel = billboardGui.TextLabel

local t = 5;

function rainbowEffect(itemToBeColored, property)
	coroutine.wrap(function()
		while wait() do
			local hue = tick() % t / t
			local color = Color3.fromHSV(hue,1,1)
			itemToBeColored[property] = color
		end
	end)()
end

rainbowEffect(selectionBox, "Color3")
rainbowEffect(textLabel, "TextColor3")

If you want to make Rainbow for that GUI
Insert into TextLabel A UIGradient and LocalScript and in LocalScript put this

local RS = game:GetService("RunService")

local rainbow = script.Parent  -- GUI object
local grad = rainbow.UIGradient

local counter = 0       -- phase shift 
local w = math.pi / 12  -- frequency 
local CS = {}           -- colorsequence table
local num = 15             -- number of colorsequence points (maxed at 15 or 16 I believe)
local frames = 0        -- frame counter, used to buffer if you want lower framerate updates

RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    if math.fmod(frames, 2) == 0 then
        for i = 0, num do
            local c = Color3.fromRGB(127 * math.sin(w*i + counter) + 128, 127 * math.sin(w*i + 2 * math.pi/3 + counter) + 128, 127*math.sin(w*i + 4*math.pi/3 + counter) + 128)
            table.insert(CS, i+1, ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(i/num, c))
        end
        grad.Color = ColorSequence.new(CS)
        CS = {}
        counter = counter + math.pi/40
        if (counter >= math.pi * 2) then
            counter = 0
        end
    end
    if frames >= 1000 then
        frames = 0
    end
    frames = frames + 1
end)
