Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Im working on a windows xp game and im having a gui white board but I cant get it to work on changing the colour

I can send the explorer if needed
code:

local frame = script.Parent
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local ClearButton = script.Parent.ClearButton

local x
local y

local pressed = false

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
pressed = true
end)

mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
pressed = false
end)

game:GetService(“RunService”).RenderStepped:Connect(function()
x = mouse.X
y = mouse.Y
if pressed == true then
local dot = Instance.new(“Frame”)
dot.Name = “Dot”
dot.Parent = frame
dot.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0,0,0)
dot.Size = UDim2.new(0, 6, 0, 6)
dot.Position = UDim2.new(0, x - frame.AbsolutePosition.X, 0, y - frame.AbsolutePosition.Y)
end
end)

ClearButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
for i, q in pairs(frame:GetChildren()) do
if q.Name == “Dot” then
q:Destroy()
end
end
end)
local color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
(dot.BackgroundColor3 = color)
RedButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function)
color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
end)

What Colour are you looking for? Black white green blue Rainbow? And yes im in Canada so don’t make fun of me for spelling “Colour” Instead of “Color”

This didnt work if this helps here is the output

Players.3DRobloxGameDev.PlayerGui.Options.Startup.frame.LocalScript:39: Ambiguous syntax: this looks like an argument list for a function call, but could also be a start of new statement; use ‘;’ to separate statements

I guess I see the issue.

Are you referencing “dot” in both of your functions (the run service and the mouse button click)?

because it seems like you reference it in the first function and not the the other and the script don’t know what “dot” is

#16

syntax errors
you don’t need to bracket dot.BackgroundColor3 = color otherwise it may break
2, last function loop opening is lacking an opening bracket after function [ (function() ]
edit: my bad issue 1 is already fixed
