its still no[quote=“YT_TacoPlaysRoblox, post:1, topic:1163116”]
e do

i mean this

#5

You haven’t called the function BrickColor.Random()

You’re missing the parentheses that are required to call any function.

#6

oh TYSM so i what do the () do??

#7

The correct code would be

while true do
    game.Workspace.Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
    wait(1)
end

Actually now that I look at it a bit more you did some things wrong but it’s just some minor problems.
Lua is very like picky in terms of how you spell things and I see what you did wrong.

when you did

while true do

game.workspace.Part.BrichColor.Random
wait(1)
end

you need to be more specific

you have to also capitalize the “Workspace”

so it would be like this

while true do

game.Workspace.Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()

wait(1)

end

this basically is the right way to say it in lua coding. You have to be specific and you have to watch out for every little detail in terms of spelling, and capitalization.

A set of parentheses at the end indicates a function being run with empty parameters. A function is essentially a block of code that can be remotely called in one line. In this case, the .random() function of BrickColor returns a randomized BrickColor value.

It’s a lot easier to just type:

workspace.Part

instead of:

game.Workspace.Part

Of course I was just making it as similar as possible to his with how he typed it to maybe make it more clear for him since it’s his first day,
