The Blackout isnt turning on

So, I made a script to make an in-game blackout, where a person can go sabotage the generator and make the base in the dark, only I am not able to figure out why my script is not working. I would really appreciate help since I’ve looked everywhere and there’s nothing.

local button = script.Parent
local bool = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Blackout

local Loading = script.Parent.Parent.Loading

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if bool.Value == false then
		bool.Value = true
		Loading.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255, 255, 0)
		Loading.Text = "CARREGANDO..."
		wait(3)
		Loading.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1, 0.333333, 0)
		Loading.Text = "DESATIVO"
		button.Text = "RESOLVER"
	end
end)

local Lights = workspace.S1Lights.LightModel:WaitForChild("Light")
local Surface = workspace.S1Lights.LightModel

for i,v in pairs(Lights:GetChildren()) do
	bool.Changed:Connect(function()
		if bool.Value == true then
			v.Enabled = false
		end
	end)
end

for i,f in pairs(Surface:GetChildren()) do
	bool.Changed:Connect(function()
		if bool.Value == true then
			f.Material = Enum.Material.Metal
		end
	end)
end

The lights are all popped into a model to facilitate the script.

Here the generator:

Footage:
The lights should be turned down.

So, I made a new script but still didnt worked yet. No errors shown in the output.

local button = script.Parent
local bool = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Blackout

local Loading = script.Parent.Parent.Loading
local S1 = game.Workspace.S1Lights
local Surface = S1.LightModel


button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if bool.Value == false then
		bool.Value = true
		Loading.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255, 255, 0)
		Loading.Text = "CARREGANDO..."
		wait(3)
		Loading.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1, 0.333333, 0)
		Loading.Text = "DESATIVO"
		button.Text = "RESOLVER"
	end
end)

for i,v in pairs(Surface:GetChildren("")) do
	bool.Changed:Connect(function()
		if bool.Value == true then
			v.Material = Enum.Material.Metal
			v.SurfaceLight.Enabled = false
		end
	end)
end

You’re only getting one of the light models with local Surface = S1.LightModel

To change all of them, use a for loop that goes through S1, and make sure all the models you are affecting are the light models by using if v.Name == "LightModel".

Also, you are giving :GetChildren() an argument, which it doesn’t take.
Then, you should be putting the for loop in the :Connect() function, rather than the :Connect() function in the for loop.
Lastly, the code in if bool.Value == true then is wrong, because it will affect all parts in the model, and also v is not filtered and therefore expects all the parts in the model to have a SurfaceLight instance.

This doesn’t matter since it would not work correctly with the new for loop I talked about in the first sentence. To fix this, just do v.Light

I managed to make a progress and now the lights go off, the problem is if I can’t use the if bool.Value == true then, how would I make the lights go off ONLY if a player in a team clicks the button to turn them off?

local lights = {}
for i,v in pairs(workspace.S1Lights:GetDescendants()) do
	if v:IsA('PointLight') or v:IsA('SurfaceLight') or v:IsA('SpotLight') then
		table.insert(lights,v)
	end
end

for i,v in pairs(lights) do
	v.Enabled = false
       	v.Parent.Material = Enum.Material.Metal
end

(The script in total)

local button = script.Parent
local bool = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Blackout

local Loading = script.Parent.Parent.Loading

Activate = false

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if bool.Value == false then
		bool.Value = true
		Loading.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255, 255, 0)
		Loading.Text = "CARREGANDO..."
		wait(3)
		Activate = true
		Loading.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1, 0.333333, 0)
		Loading.Text = "DESATIVO"
		button.Text = "RESOLVER"
	end
end)

local lights = {}
for i,v in pairs(workspace.S1Lights:GetDescendants()) do
	if v:IsA('PointLight') or v:IsA('SurfaceLight') or v:IsA('SpotLight') then
		table.insert(lights,v)
	end
end

for i,v in pairs(lights) do
	v.Enabled = false
	v.Parent.Material = Enum.Material.Metal
end

nvm, just fixed it with the bool.Changed:Connect(function()

for i,v in pairs(lights) do
	bool.Changed:Connect(function()
	    v.Enabled = false
		v.Parent.Material = Enum.Material.Metal
	end)
end
