UIgradient with teamColor

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I am a beginner at scripting and recently, I came upon a problem. Basically, I don’t really know to identify a player’s team color and use it in a ColorSequence in a UIGradient. Here’s the script I have so far which is very generic:

ClonedRankUI.Background.Bar.UIGradient.Color = ColorSequence.new({
ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(0, Players.TeamColor),
ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(0.5, Players.TeamColor),
ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(1, Players.TeamColor)
})

Players is local Players = game:GetService("Players")
(There are more to this script and it is not shown here)

Anyways, when I run this script, the UI does not adjust to the teamcolor. Can anyone help?

The players service doesn’t have a TeamColor property.

The Service “Players” doesn’t have a teamColor value. Only individual players have it. So you should do

local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer -- gets the player who's seeing the GUI

and then replace all Players.TeamColor to LocalPlayer.TeamColor

So apparently, from the output, it does not recognize “TeamColor” and ColorSequenceKeypoint.new needs to be in RGB. How can I do that?

Right, use TeamColor.Color to get the Color3

#6

So like:
ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(1, LocalPlayer.TeamColor.Color) ← This one gives an error
or
ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(1, Color3.new(LocalPlayer.TeamColor.Color)) ← This one gives black

The first one, Can you tell me what is the error?

I forgot to mention, but it is inside of a function:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
-- content
end)

And the error I got was:
ServerScriptService.NametagHandler:132: attempt to index nil with 'TeamColor'

Hold on, is this a ServerScript? If it is then there is no Local Player, and you probably should switch LocalPlayer to the Player in the function

Oops, my bad. So yeah, it does work now. Thanks!
