Im currently practicing for loops and functions but the material does not revert, whats wrong in the script?

local TestParts = game.Workspace.Folder:GetChildren()
local tim = game.Lighting.TimeOfDay

function UpdateToNeon()
	for i, v in pairs(TestParts) do
		v.Material = "Neon"
		print("Material Updated for Index "..i)
	wait(1)	
	end
end

function UpdateToPlastic()
	for i, v in pairs(TestParts) do
		v.Material = "Plastic"
		print("Material Updated for Index "..i)
		wait(1)	
	end
end

function AltChange()
for i, v in pairs(TestParts) do
	if v.Material == "Plastic" then
		UpdateToPlastic()
	else
		UpdateToNeon()
	end
	end
	end

AltChange()

I think the issue here is that you need to do v.Material = Enum.Material.Materialname rather than how you would set strings

Same for checking the material if v.Material = Enum.Material.Plastic then

you need to do == instead of = when you’re writing an if statement.
instead of “Plastic” and “Neon” it’s Enum.Material.Neon and Enum.Material.Plastic.

also, what are you trying to make? the script goes through all the parts in TestParts, checks if the part is either plastic or neon, then changes all of the parts parts in TestParts to plastic or neon depending on which function was called. Is that what you meant to do?

local TestParts = game.Workspace.Folder:GetChildren()
local tim = game.Lighting.TimeOfDay

function UpdateToNeon()
	for i, v in pairs(TestParts) do
		v.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
		print("Material Updated for Index "..i)
		wait(1)	
	end
end

function UpdateToPlastic()
	for i, v in pairs(TestParts) do
		v.Material = Enum.Material.Plastic
		print("Material Updated for Index "..i)
		wait(1)	
	end
end

function AltChange()
	for i, v in pairs(TestParts) do
		if v.Material == Enum.Material.Plastic then
			UpdateToPlastic()
		else
			UpdateToNeon()
		end
	end
end
