there is no texture slot thing in my blender im trying to paint. also is there a way to make one part of my model glow and the other parts not because my character has like this bulb that needs to glow
if you look at the top theres no slot
if you look at the top theres no slot
I do not know why you talk od texture slot when showing the brush propetiesā¦
Anyway:
In both cases:
Just add one with + New ā¦
where
also if your talking about the thing in the texture tab below materials it doesnt work
You need a material with an image to be able to paint on thisā¦ so you might add one with the Wrangler enabeled and Ctrl-T and adding a imageā¦ for example in the Imaged Texture node with ( guess what ) ā¦ + New .
A texture for the brush is only needed if you want to use some special effects while painting.
You may have to elaborate this to get a more suited answer.

ok well what happened to the texture slot thing that was always there that everyone used that actually worked
also i tried whatever you told me and it still had the pink thing that doesnt let me paint on
Then it seems you still have no texture (image) in your materialā¦
If you call specific items āthingā then it might be that you do not know the proper terms ? It is important to know these āthingsā ( ā pun intended ) because for example:
Please fill up my car with gasoline.
Sir, this is an electic carā¦
Create a new project, check it with a simple object, and if itās the same problem, you need to initialize the blender.
If there is no problem with the new project, disable importing the saved UI of the options settings when opening the file.
ok i checked it its the same problem, so how do i initialize the blender
You donāt need to. Just click the +New button in the texture slot dropdown
that doesnt exist, the picture i sent (2nd one) is what i dont have
Wellā¦ you might have to look at some basic tutorialsā¦
ok wow it still doesnt work i did exactly that, it paints only black
You may start new blender instance and check about texture paintingā¦ maybe in this file something is set up differently ??
Iām out of ideasā¦
i did already, im also using steam and verified integrity, did nothing
Have you scrolled on that header? I can see you have menu items that are cut off by your screen size, scroll along that and see if you have the Texture Slot menu
nope doesnt work
Did you actually try it?
yeah i did
You are a bit hestistant and unprecise about your info given to the communityā¦ i do not know if you are somekind of experienced in texture painting and what you already have done before asking hereā¦ and iām not meantalistā¦
Also you sentences are a bit short and i do not completely understood what exactly you have doneā¦ or notā¦
While iām typing:
So you didnāt have triedā¦ 
You know i have different things to do in these time of the yearā¦ 
oh yeah i guess what i said doesnt really make sense lol, but anyway i have done this before and im used to there being a texture slot in either tool/workspace settings or at the top near strength radius etc. and suddenly doesnt exist which is strange
