I am working on a rank colour changing gamepass, so you press a button and the colour of the rank will change.

The problem is that apparently the Frame that is the parent of the overhead rank labels isn’t there.

I have tried using WaitForChild but nothing is working.

This is the script:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(Player)
	local name = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name 
	print("RankColourUIName = ".. name)
	local Frame = workspace.name.Rank.Frame
	
	Frame.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255, 0, 0)
	Frame.Name1.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255, 0, 0)
end)

Fixed it for you:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(Player)
	local name = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name 
	print("RankColourUIName = ".. name)
	local Frame = workspace:WaitForChild(name).Rank.Frame
	
	Frame.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255, 0, 0)
	Frame.Name1.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255, 0, 0)
end)

Try using WaitForChild.

By the way, this needs to be Color3.fromRGB or you won’t get the color you want.

This works now, thanks! (30 chars)

Why use .fromRGB…? Color3.new works just fine for me.

Color3.new takes values between 0 and 1.

255 is a RGB value.

The colour appears as it should, but I’ll use .fromRGB just incase it doesn’t if I do other colours.
