Module 1-1 Exercises

Today, we'll practice how to use variables in your scripts. We will make a simple script that controls a part's Properties.

We will be utilizing the following topics:

• Scripts

Making a Script with Variables

The Essentials

1. Get one part, any part for this exercise (red in image).
2. Add BrickColor and Material (blue in image).
   

3. Add 1 script to the part you added (red in image)
   

4. Rename it to
   Properties Script
   .

The Script

1. We will create 4 variables to control the code: "part", "color", "invisibility", and "stuck"
2. Add the code below to the script.

-- Variables
part = script.Parent                 -- Keeps track of the part modified
color = BrickColor.new("Really red") -- Saving the color "Really Red"
invisibility = 0.5                   -- Half way invisible! (change it to 1 for max invisibility)
stuck = true                         -- Used to keep the part in place (if true)

-- The code modifying the part starts here:
part.BrickColor = color
part.Transparency = invisibility
part.Anchored = stuck

If you play the game, the part should look something like this:
