Local Script Not Running In StarterPlayerScripts

[SmakToj]

Hello!

I’m attempting to run a few basic lines of code just to get a grip of a few things I haven’t experimented with before. I’m trying to run a local script in starter player scripts because I want this only to be achievable by the client. However it just won’t run and I can’t seem to find out why. The code works perfectly as intended because if I put in in a normal script and in the workspace It will run properly.

local descendants = workspace.Tiles:GetDescendants()

for _, descendant in pairs(descendants) do
	if descendant:IsA("BasePart") then
		descendant.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()

	end
end

All help is apreciated

Try to add a :WaitForChild() in your descendants variable, like:

local descendants = workspace:WaitForChild("Tiles"):GetDescendants()

It should fix your problem.

The same thing happens. Thanks anyway!

It should be related to client trying to run a script on an non loaded part so I guess using waitforchild and a litlle task.wait() in for loop may do the job

Yeah I made a few modifications and this seems to work!

local descendants = workspace:WaitForChild("Tiles"):GetDescendants()
local tiles = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Tiles")

local function modifyTilesColor()
	while true do
		for _, descendant in pairs(tiles:GetDescendants()) do
			if descendant:IsA("BasePart") then
				descendant.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
			end
		end
		task.wait(1) 
	end
end

modifyTilesColor()
