How can I make one script's job apply to all the parts in a model instead of having to paste the script in each part seperatly?

Ah, well then just the top one :confused:

#22 
local Model = script.Parent
for i,v in pairs(Model:GetChildren()) do -- iterates through every part
  if v:IsA("BasePart") and v["Name"] == "Step" then
   v.Touched:Connect(function(Hit) -- hit is the part, so you would do,
       Hit.BrickColor = BrickColor.random() -- sets the color
       end)
   end
end
#23

and I did remember to group the “steps” and put the script in the Model

#24

Can you take a photo of your stairs model in the explorer so I can understand what’s in the model.

#25

No, it’s because his script is in the model, but it had the Touched function ran on it anyways making it error.

#26

Not possible, there is an if statement checking if the Instance is a BasePart

#27

Yeah, but in the script he was using, it was after the touched function. Having it check after it fired the touched event.

Yeah i fixed it above, your hit was lowercase so just copy the script again and it will work.

#30

do you want it to change for 1 player or everyone?

#31

It’s for whoever steps on it in the game

#32

aaaaaand nope, still nothing. The touchinterest appears in the “step” but no color change

#33 
local Model = script.Parent
for i,v in pairs(Model:GetChildren()) do
    if v:IsA("BasePart") and v["Name"] == "Step" then
        v.Touched:Connect(function()
            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.random() 
        end)
    end
end

Oh my good lord it worked! Thank you so much!

#36

And, I’m really really sorry to ask this, is there a way for the color to change back to one color after a certain time period?

#37 
local Model = script.Parent
for i,v in pairs(Model:GetChildren()) do
    if v:IsA("BasePart") and v["Name"] == "Step" then
        v.Touched:Connect(function()
        	local OldColor = v.BrickColor -- Save the color before random
            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.random() 
            wait(5) -- Wait 5 seconds
            v.BrickColor = OldColor
        end)
    end
end
#38

Is oldColor where I put the color name of what I want it to revert to?

#39

The variable OldColor, will keep track of the color that it was before it was ever randomized.
But yes, you can put a specific colour in

would I write 163, 162, 165 (the RGB value of the color), or Medium Stone Grey in replacement of OldColor

#41 
local Model = script.Parent
for i,v in pairs(Model:GetChildren()) do
    if v:IsA("BasePart") and v["Name"] == "Step" then
        v.Touched:Connect(function()
        	local OldColor = BrickColor.new(Color3.new(163, 162, 165)) -- Save the color before random
            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.random() 
            wait(5) -- Wait 5 seconds
            v.BrickColor = OldColor
        end)
    end
end
