How to change the color of all parts with the same names?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello everyone! I wrote a script that, when the button is pressed, creates a new part and changes its color to black, but if I create a lot of parts, then the color changes only for the first one, is it possible that the color would change for all parts? Here is my script

local cd = script.Parent.ClickDetector

function onclicker()
	local blackbor = Instance.new("Part")
	blackbor.Name = ('A')	
	blackbor.Anchored = false
	blackbor.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
	blackbor.Parent = game.Workspace
print('clicked')
	
end
cd.MouseClick:connect(onclicker)
while true do
	local  b = game.Workspace:WaitForChild('A')
wait(1)
	b.BrickColor = BrickColor.Black()
end

Just reference the part you made and change that color

local cd = script.Parent.ClickDetector

function onclicker()
	local blackbor = Instance.new("Part")
	blackbor.Name = ('A')	
	blackbor.Anchored = false
	blackbor.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
	blackbor.BrickColor = BrickColor.Black()
	blackbor.Parent = game.Workspace
	print('clicked')
end

cd.MouseClick:connect(onclicker)

You could make a for loop, then check if the current part in the loop has the same name as the name of the part, if it does you change it.

If you’re placing in a loop I’d suggest not adding inside the for loop, as it will make it so the parts don’t change at the same time.

This would change the parts to a random color every second, but you could just put in the specific color you want inside of the for loop.


local folder = Instance.new("Folder", workspace)

local cd = script.Parent.ClickDetector

function onclicker()
	local blackbor = Instance.new("Part")
	blackbor.Name = ('A')	
	blackbor.Anchored = false
	blackbor.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
	blackbor.Parent = folder
print('clicked')
	
end
cd.MouseClick:connect(onclicker)
while true do
wait(1)
	for i, part in pairs(folder:GetChildren()) do
          part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(math.random(1,255), math.random(1,255), math.random(1,255))
    end
end
