i have no idea whats wrong,my objective is to spawn a part within the game with these properties,im day 1 at coding and i dont know if its bc im using a local script instead of a normal script or what

[lethal hazel]

Getting any errors?

[opaque pecan]

try to change it to a normal script and if that's not it then idk if it's because of the part.Name

[lethal hazel]

You are setting the name to be an instance

Do it like this

part.Name = "PartName"

It's what @opaque pecan said, it should be a server script

[opaque pecan]

oohh

[hexed bluff]

Also yes, the name should be a string

[opaque pecan]

do part.Name = "part"

[jovial ember]

i mean i had already changed the script so it cant be

[opaque pecan]

you gotta put it inside a string

[jovial ember]

oh really...so no instance?

[hexed bluff]

Try running some prints through it

[opaque pecan]

change
part.Name = part
to
part.Name = "part"

[hexed bluff]

Sometimes a script won't even run, and therefore not produce errors

[hexed bluff]

Also do this

[jovial ember]

thankyou all,so should i never use instance and instead just skip to this?

[hexed bluff]

No

The objective is to make a new part right?

So instance.new would be pretty much required

[jovial ember]

nevermind i misunderstood something i just realised anyway but yeah its working now so thanks

[hexed bluff]

Yeah, when you do "part.name =" you are reassigning the name to what is expected to be another string

If it's not a string, it will probably throw an error
