Reasoning behind this: It is sometimes hard to remember all of the BrickColor values. To fix this, ROBLOX created the BrickColorValue. But it's not hard to remember a dozen material names. I'm noobtastic

Materials are enums. Brickcolors are userdata. So, you can store enums like materials as numbers.

what in the world... enums??? so... now I have to memorize a list of random numbers instead of material names? that's a little odd...

> enums??? so... now I have to memorize a list of random numbers instead of material names? No. Workspace.BasePlate.Material = "Wood"

@king, I don't want to have to open up a script just to change it rather then just choosing 'wood' in a value.

But as the other guy said, BrickColor is userdata and Material is an enum. You use BrickColor.new to create a BrickColor, and Enum.Material.Wood to create a material (or use a string and let it convert on its own). They aren't the same thing, so creating a MaterialValue wouldn't make sense. Just use a StringValue and do it like you would as if it were a MaterialValue: Workspace.MaterialValue.Value = "Wood" Workspace.Part.Material = Workspace.MaterialValue.Value
