Help With Checking Colors of Parts

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

How would I go about doing something (e.x. printing something in the output) if all the lights in this script are bright green? I’m rather inexperienced at scripting so I apologize if this is just a really simple solution. (This is a local script in StarterPlayerScripts.)

local state = false

game.Workspace.switch1.ClickDetector.mouseClick:connect(function(touched)
    state =  not state
    if state then
	    game.Workspace.light1.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
	    game.Workspace.light2.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
	    game.Workspace.light3.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
    else
	    game.Workspace.light1.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")
	    game.Workspace.light2.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")
	    game.Workspace.light3.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")
    end
end)

game.Workspace.switch2.ClickDetector.mouseClick:connect(function(touched)
    state =  not state
    if state then
	    game.Workspace.light3.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
	    game.Workspace.light4.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
    else
	    game.Workspace.light3.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")
	    game.Workspace.light4.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")
    end
end)

game.Workspace.switch3.ClickDetector.mouseClick:connect(function(touched)
    state = not state
    if state then
	    game.Workspace.light4.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
	    game.Workspace.light5.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
    else
	    game.Workspace.light4.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")
	    game.Workspace.light5.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")
    end
end)

Any replies or help would be very much appreciated and I thank you in advance.

So you would loop through all of the lights and check if they are green. Then if they are, you print.

local Lights = {workspace.light1, workspace.light2, etc..}

function CheckLights()
    local Check = 0
    for i, Light in pairs(Lights) do
        if Light.BrickColor ==  BrickColor.new("Bright green") then
            Check = Check + 1
            if Check == #Lights then
                print(“all lights green”)
            end
        end
    end
end

You can call CheckLights() whenever you want to check if the lights are all green.

He can put all of the lights in a model, to then use ModelName:GetChildren(), in the for loop.

This was just for the sake of things for beginners. Loops are learned before these functions.

You forgot an = at here:

[30 char]

But works perfectly fine!

Hm, I tried putting that script after all the mouse click functions but even when all the lights were green, nothing was printed in output.

7

Did you call the function? [30 char]

8

Also, was state supposed to be a debounce?

9

Yes, I called the function. [30 chars]

[30 charssssssssssssssssssssssssss]

No actually, it was just a light turning on and off logic system that I implemented.

I will make a code for you, but for it to work, create a model and put all of the lights in it, or just put them in a folder.

This is odd, all lights green is printed in output if I call the function after the first “if state then.” Unfortunately, this only works for the first three lights though and not the other two.

I got it to work, thank you both for helping me so much! I just had to call the function in numerous areas.
