  • What I Want to achieve
    I want the background color of the gui of the tool to be white when equipped

  • What is the issue?
    So basically I took the free model from the tutorial.
    So as I didn’t make it, I can’t understand it.

  • What I have tried so far
    I have tried watching other tutorials on yutube, but there are not many and the one I watched was the perfect one so I need help with it.

So basically I took a free model as told by the tutorial made by @Purly_Dev and I can’t understand it, since I didn’t make it. I wanted to change the background color of the backgroundGui when eqiupped. I didn’t try anything as I didn’t want the script to become a mess.

Here is the script :-

-- local backgroundColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
local maxOnHotbar = 5 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local p = Players.LocalPlayer
local Backpack = p.Backpack
local Character = p.Character
local Frame = script.Parent.Frame
local Template = Frame.Contents.objTemplate
local COLOR_DARKER = 0.65
local KEY_DICTIONARY = { Zero = 10, One = 1, Two = 2, Three = 3, Four = 4, Five = 5, Six = 6, Seven = 7, Eight = 8, Nine = 9 }
local EQUIP_TWEENINFO = TweenInfo.new(0.25, Enum.EasingStyle.Exponential, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local items = {}
local tweens = {}


local function handleEquip(tool)
	if tool.Parent ~= Character then
		Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(tool)
	else
		Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end
end

local function checkHotbar(removeIndex)
	if removeIndex then
		for _, toolCircle in pairs(Frame.Contents:GetChildren()) do
			if toolCircle:IsA("GuiObject") then
				if tonumber(toolCircle.Name) >= removeIndex then
					local newIndex = (tonumber(toolCircle.Name) == 11) and 0 or tonumber(toolCircle.Name) - 1
					local isVisible = (maxOnHotbar == 10) and (newIndex <= 9 and true or false) or ((newIndex ~= 0 and newIndex <= maxOnHotbar) and true or false)
					
					toolCircle.LayoutOrder -= 1
					toolCircle.Name -= 1
					toolCircle.Visible = isVisible
					toolCircle.Index.Text = newIndex
				end
			end
		end
	end
	
	local additionalIndex = Frame.AdditionalIndex
	additionalIndex.Size = UDim2.new(0, Frame.Contents.UIListLayout.AbsoluteContentSize.X + Frame.Contents.AbsoluteSize.Y + 15, 0, 25)
	additionalIndex.Text = "+" .. (#items - maxOnHotbar)
	additionalIndex.Visible = (#items > maxOnHotbar)
	
	for index, tool in ipairs(items) do
		local toolCircle = Frame.Contents:FindFirstChild(index)
		local isEquipped = (tool.Parent == Character)
		
		if not toolCircle then
			return
		end

			tweens[toolCircle]:Cancel()
			tweens[toolCircle] = nil
		end
		
		tweens[toolCircle] = TweenService:Create(toolCircle.Background.In, EQUIP_TWEENINFO, {
			BackgroundTransparency = isEquipped and 0.25 or 0.5
		})
		tweens[toolCircle]:Play()
	end
end

local function create(tool)
	local nextIndex = (#items == 10) and 0 or #items

end


while true do

		StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, false)
	end)
	if success then

end

if maxOnHotbar > 10 then

end

end)

Pls help me out here,

local function handleEquip(tool)
	if tool.Parent ~= Character then
		--Change the background color to white here
		Character.Humanoid:EquipTool(tool)
	else
		--Change it back to something else here
