When I do script.Parent do I capitalize the S like...
Script.Parent....
or
script.Parent
Answer fast! |
|
|
lowercase s.
script.Parent
But you MIGHT be allowed to use upper-case. I'm not sure. |

then what's wrong with my script? It wont work
vip = game.Players.refig344
function onChatted(msg)
if msg == "Blue" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Cyan")
elseif msg == "Red" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
elseif msg == "Pink" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Pink")
elseif msg == "Purple" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright violet")
elseif msg == "Green" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
elseif msg == "Orange" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Deep orange")
elseif msg == "Yellow" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("New Yeller")
elseif msg == "Normal" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")
elseif msg == "White" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
end
end
vip.Chatted:connect(onChatted)
~~~~~~~~~
The parent is a brick. |

You would have to use a Script Builder for that. When the server starts, you aren't in Players.
vip = "refig334" -- your name.
function onChatted(msg)
if msg == "Blue" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Cyan")
elseif msg == "Red" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
elseif msg == "Pink" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Pink")
elseif msg == "Purple" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright violet")
elseif msg == "Green" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
elseif msg == "Orange" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Deep orange")
elseif msg == "Yellow" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("New Yeller")
elseif msg == "Normal" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")
elseif msg == "White" then
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white")
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
if p.Name == vip then
p.Chatted:connect(onChatted)
end
end)

Sorry, to clarify, your script would only work in a script builder if the script builder script was in a part ._.
The modified version I gave you would work in an actual script. |

if theres no output, it means that the script is running correctly, but its not doing what you expect it would... hate that.
Im not sure how chat-scripts work, but is the way you target yourself as a player correct? check it against another onchat script |

By the way, why all the parentheses? Can I take them away? Or I need them on the last part. |

When calling a function with a string or table, you don't need parenthesis.
However, when creating a function or connecting one to an event, you sure
do need one, brother.
BrickColor.new "Bright blue"
is valid.
function A B
end
is not valid. |
|
|
In the script I gave you, the parenthesis contain function arguments, which are passed by the event of a function.
something.Touched:connect(function(p)
When something is touched, connect to this function with the argument of what touched it. In the line that I just showed, 'p' is the argument of the function, which is what touched it in that function. |

"But you MIGHT be allowed to use upper-case. I'm not sure."
(clarification)
That's not true. If you use Script instead of script, it will return a nil value because it assumes that "Script" is a child of DataModel, while "script" is the script itself (script.Parent, etc).This happened to me once or twice, so I try to be as specific as possible when using caps in scripts. |
