I can't seem to change the color of a part with the color3 script using a color3value/str value

I have been scripting lately and I have been trying to change a color of a part with a Value, but I can’t seem to get it to work, the color simply goes black, and if I change the value to 1 it goes red

I have shortened the script so you can read the important part right away:

part = script.Parent.Part -- variable


part.Color = Color3.new(script.Parent.Value.Value) -- changes the color using color3

Things I have tried:
If I use a Color3Value the color simply goes black
If I use a string value the color is black
If I use a string value and it’s value is 1 then the color goes red ahem r g b

So my question is: how to be able to change the color to (209,32,90) with a Color3Value.

What you need is;

part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(209,32,90)  or part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(script.Parent.Value.Value)

Is the value a Color3 Value? (And not a string?)

Well, I’m using both of them and they both don’t work, is this script for a string value? And your script does not work

4

Is the value above the part a string value or a color3 value?

color3value, but not just that. there’s an error in your script, which is:
Workspace.Script:4: Expected identifier when parsing expression, got ‘=’

I haven’t really worked with or statements so I have no idea whats happening right now

Sorry. I meant that you could use the part after the or as well.
Basically;

part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(209,32,90)

or

part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(script.Parent.Value.Value)

So basically I only can go with option 2 because I want to change the color sometimes (any random color) but that doesn’t work, and the first option isn’t what I can do in this position sadly

(Option 2 makes the part go black)

Right. Can you click on the value and show me its properties?

Here you go, there are the properties of the requested value

Just rename the value to something other than ‘value’, this is a redundancy that confuses the interpreter. You also want to set up the code like this

part.Color = script.Parent["VALUE NAME"].Value -- changes the color using color3

Didn’t know that changed anything. I guess you can try above.
