How to make a system where a part turns into a different color on the client side?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am trying to make a system like MasterDaniel’s Masters Difficulty Chart Obby where whenever you step on a checkpoint, it turns green only for the client (example). I was able to get it to work using remote events but the problem was, the remote event only worked for one checkpoint and I was going to have to have remote events for each checkpoint. Is there any way I can make my checkpoints turn green only for the client without having to make a remote event for all 100 of my stages? My scripts are shown below (Both my local script and my checkpoint server script)

Local Script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.CheckpointColorEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local Checkpoints = game.Workspace.Checkpoints:GetChildren()
	for i, v in pairs(Checkpoints) do
		v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
			end
		end)
	end
end

Checkpoint Server Script:

checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
		local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value = 1	
		game.ReplicatedStorage.CheckpointColorEvent:FireClient(plr)
	end
end)

pass the part that was hit as a param

You can try passing the level part as a parameter and use it to change the color to lime green in the local script, pass the name of the part which was touched and use a for loop and if the name of the part which was sent as a param is present you can change its color

Heres the edit of your script.

ServerScript:

checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
		local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value = 1	
		game.ReplicatedStorage.CheckpointColorEvent:FireClient(plr,checkpoint.Name)
	end
end)

edit: I dont really know how you defined checkpoint so Ima just assume its a for loop too or just a part defined as checkpoint.

Local Script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.CheckpointColorEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(checkpointName)
	local Checkpoints = game.Workspace.Checkpoints:GetChildren()
	for i, v in pairs(Checkpoints) do
		if v.Name == checkpointName then
            v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
                 end
			end
		end)

I tried your script out and it only works for one checkpoint. Should I add the Fire event to all the other checkpoints?

#5

I added the fire event to 5 of my checkpoints and they worked the brick color changed only for the client.

#7

Instead of sending the name you can just send the part.

Local script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.CheckpointColorEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(checkpoint)
	checkpoint.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
end)

Server script:

checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
		local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if plr then --Also add a check to see if the player exists
			plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value = 1	
			game.ReplicatedStorage.CheckpointColorEvent:FireClient(plr, checkpoint)	
		end
	end
end)

To make it work for every checkpoint you can use a loop

Server script:

local Checkpoints = workspace.Checkpoints:GetChildren()
for i, checkpoint in pairs(Checkpoints) do
	checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
			local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
			if plr then --Also add a check to see if the player exists
				plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value = 1	
				game.ReplicatedStorage.CheckpointColorEvent:FireClient(plr, checkpoint)	
			end
		end
	end)
end
