Hey I need help over a script I tried to do. local explo Instance.new("Explosion") explo.Parent = workspace local function explo() while true do task.wait(1) Instance.new("Explosion") repeat until 6 end end local function explo() while true do task.wait(1) Instance.new("Explosion") repeat until 6 end end So this is the script but it doesnt explode when I run the script and it has to repeat It didnt really turn out like how I wanted, could you tell me why?

[@ankurjnr2566]

what exactly do you want the script to do

[@Mani43334]

Hey, the reason that your script is not working is because you forgot to put an equal sign between "explo" and Instance.new("Explosion") on line one. Here's how the code on line one should look like. local explo = Instance.new("Explosion") Once you do this, the part should explode on pressing "run." I hope this helps!

[@RugyDaBear.]

you can do what your trying to do way easier with while true do task.wait(1) local newpart = Instance.new("Explosion") newpart.Parent = workspace end or for i = 1, 10 do task.wait(1) local newpart = Instance.new("Explosion") newpart.Parent = workspace end

[@thessuperrooster5006]

what are you trying to do lol

[@qiNNok]

i dont really understand how that will help me in a game..

[@emerald8784]

for a tycoon you can loop a part to spawn with a touched event in a connect function to add money or something

Heck yeah, I can finally start doing cool stuff now. Here is a ball spawner I made that spawns balls from the sky forever, and the speed at which it spawns balls can be configured manually within the script by changing timeToSpawn in the function parameters. There are also a few errors, but the error messages it gave me didn't make sense and it worked anyways so yeah. local function ballSpawner(timeToSpawn) local spawnArea = Instance.new("Part") spawnArea.Parent = workspace spawnArea.Anchored = true spawnArea.Position = Vector3.new(0, 50, 0) spawnArea.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball spawnArea.Size = Vector3.new(5, 5, 5) spawnArea.Transparency = .7 spawnArea.CanCollide = false local function initBall() newPart.Parent = workspace newPart.Anchored = false newPart.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-1, 1), 50, math.random(-1, 1)) newPart.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball newPart.Size = Vector3.new(5, 5, 5) end while wait(timeToSpawn) do newPart = Instance.new("Part") initBall() end end ballSpawner(.1) -- .1 means it spawns one ball every tenth of a second. Configure this as you wish Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I did a bit of research on my own on the documentation for Roblox Lua, and figured out how to use Vector3's, and vaguely how to use Enum's. Btw the documentation is REALLY helpful guys, you can find it by right-clicking on anything in your code, and clicking "Go to declaration". It will tell you everything that you need to know about whatever you right-clicked on and its all just organized so dang well compared to other docs I've seen for other coding languages. Edit 2: I managed to figure out what the errors meant and fixed them. It was a pretty simple fix, just a syntax thing, though I don't really understand why it had to be done the way it wanted it to be done, but ill figure that part out later. I also applied the script to a pre-made part in the workspace so that I could remove that first part of my function, and I also did this in the hopes that I would be able to actively move around the ball spawner as it spawned balls, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Edit 3: I FIGURED IT OUT, turns out it was never an issue with my code and it worked perfectly fine, I just had to click run and switch it from client to server. I am assuming that when I was using the move tool while I was playing on the client-side, it wasn't actually updating the new position I moved the ball spawner to, to the server, or something like that, idk man.
