TextColor3 won't be changed based off of arguments

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I am trying to set the TextColor3 based off of arguments, but for some reason, it’s staying as the default TextColor

(problem located in line 4)

local ct = {}
function ct.start(text, color, stay)
	local hold = stay
	script.colortext.TextLabel.Text = text
	script.colortext.TextLabel.TextColor3 = color
	for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local ui = script.colortext
		ui:Clone().Parent = v.PlayerGui
		task.wait(hold)
		local GUI = v.PlayerGui.colortext
		GUI:Destroy()
	end
end
return ct

What does the “color” parameter represent? Can you share the line(s) of code where this module function is being called?

#3

It get’s called by the server through a normal script, the “color” parameter determines the TextColor3.

#4

Can you share the lines of code where the module function is called, because obviously that’s where the issue lies.

It’s a require.

#6

ct.start("some text here", color here, stay)

I mean when the function is called from the script which requires the ModuleScript.

Okay, so this is the line. If you want a different color just change the following bit.

Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)

Alright

I found out the problem, i’m an idiot

I was setting the color to red (default textcolor3)
instead of white.

#11

The default value for TextColor3 should be black, that would be Color3.new(0, 0 ,0). If you want white that would be “Color3.new(1, 1, 1)” or “Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)” whichever you prefer/makes more sense to you.
