#

the buttons are spawning in as i want, but when i click on them the part wont spawn in

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 6:43 PM

#

Can collide is on?

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:44 PM

#

solemn nimbus Can collide is on?

on the part?

#

it is on

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

i think when u create a new part instance p has to be capitalized

#

that might be it @knotty cloak

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

yea

#

thats it

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

no way its that simple

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

a small mistypo

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:50 PM

#

yeah still doesnt work

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 6:50 PM

#

hm

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 6:50 PM

#

i felt so smart for catching that

#

but it wouldve been a problem anyway

#

does the part appear in workspace in the explorer

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 6:51 PM

#

local press

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 6:52 PM

#

yes it will be a local part

#

which should still work

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:52 PM

#

solemn nimbus does the part appear in workspace in the explorer

nope

#

if press then
                press.MouseClick:Connect(function()
                    local part = Instance.new("part",workspace)
                    part.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-52,52), 3, math.random(-52,52))
                    part.Anchored = false```

cobalt harness Jul 15, 2025, 6:53 PM

#

shouldnt it be .mousebutton1click

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:53 PM

#

this part doesnt work i think

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 6:53 PM

#

its a clicketector

cobalt harness Jul 15, 2025, 6:53 PM

#

i mightyoh be in my

#

Oh

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 6:53 PM

#

clickdetectors use mouseclick

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:53 PM

#

knotty cloak ```lua if press then press.MouseClick:Connect(function() ...

cause when i put "print" it wont show up aswell

cobalt harness Jul 15, 2025, 6:53 PM

#

i thought he meant a gui button

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 6:53 PM

#

i am very smart

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:54 PM

#

cobalt harness shouldnt it be .mousebutton1click

no its for gui

cobalt harness Jul 15, 2025, 6:54 PM

#

knotty cloak no its for gui

i didnt realise you were on about a click detector

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 6:54 PM

try this

`local replicatedStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage

local roundTime = 120
local button = replicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("button")

local function rng()
local rngValue = math.random(17, 17) -- Always spawns for now
if rngValue == 17 and button then
local buttonClone = button:Clone()
buttonClone.Parent = workspace
local randomPosition = Vector3.new(math.random(-52, 52), 3, math.random(-52, 52))

#

no way that changes anything

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

solemn nimbus no way that changes anything

i was about to ask

#

what did you change?

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

he added an if statement

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

holy shit it works

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

local press =

#

local main

#

local main = button.main
this accessed the original button

#

not the cloned one

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:56 PM

#

oooh

dark granite Jul 15, 2025, 6:56 PM

#

U used pivotto for a vector3

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 6:56 PM

#

so main doesnt refer to the one in workspce

dark granite Jul 15, 2025, 6:56 PM

#

Pivot is only for cframe

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 6:56 PM

#

nuh uh

dark granite Jul 15, 2025, 6:56 PM

#

Replace it with moveto()

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

dark granite U used pivotto for a vector3

it still works

dark granite Jul 15, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

solemn nimbus nuh uh

Really? Wait now idk

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

dark granite Replace it with moveto()

button is a model

dark granite Jul 15, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

Let me check

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

i think moveto() doesnt work on models

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

you can pivot with both properties of cframes

dark granite Jul 15, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

Send ss of output

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

position and orientation

#

which means u can use vector3s

#

no kizzy

dark granite Jul 15, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

NUH UH

#

Cframe only!!!

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 6:58 PM

#

dark granite Send ss of output

he got it fixed

#

why bother helping anymore

dark granite Jul 15, 2025, 6:59 PM

#

knotty cloak i think moveto() doesnt work on models

;-;

studio ** You are now Level 6! ** studio

dark granite Jul 15, 2025, 6:59 PM

Moveto is server sided dawg

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 6:59 PM

#

dark granite Moveto is server sided dawg

oh alr, thanks for the info

#

also while im still here

#

i need the part to have 50% of spawning

#

any ideas:>

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:01 PM

#

math.random

#

if math.random(0,1) == 1 then

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:02 PM

#

local rng2 = math.random(1,2)
        if rng2 == 2 then
            local main = buttonClone:FindFirstChild("main")
            if main then
                local press = main:FindFirstChild("ClickDetector")
                if press then
                    press.MouseClick:Connect(function()
                        local part = Instance.new("Part")
                        part.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-52, 52), 3, math.random(-52, 52))
                        part.Anchored = false
                        part.Parent = workspace
                    end)
                end
            end
        end```

#

this is what i tried to do

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:02 PM

#

solemn nimbus if math.random(0,1) == 1 then

oh that seems way easier

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

yes yes feel free to tell all your friends how smart i am twin

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:04 PM

#

solemn nimbus yes yes feel free to tell all your friends how smart i am twin

yo the parts keep spawning

#

there isnt a 50%

#

or either im really fucking lucky

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:05 PM

#

oh i actually dont think 0 is a valid input sorry

flint larkBOT Jul 15, 2025, 7:05 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 9! ** studio

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:05 PM

#

do math.random(1,2) == 1 i think

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:06 PM

#

so uhhh

#

if i put "math.random(1,2) == 1" it wont spawn any parts

#

but if its "math.random(1,2) == 2" then it will always spawn

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:08 PM

#

show me

#

make sure ur generating a new number every time

#

you might only be generating one number

#

@knotty cloak

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:14 PM

#

oh sorry

#

give me asec

#

if math.random(1, 2) == 2 then
            print("2")
            local main = buttonClone:FindFirstChild("main")
            if main then
                local press = main:FindFirstChild("ClickDetector")
                if press then
                    press.MouseClick:Connect(function()
                        local part = Instance.new("Part")
                        part.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-52, 52), 3, math.random(-52, 52))
                        part.Anchored = false
                        part.Parent = workspace
                    end)
                end
            end
        elseif math.random == 1 then
            print("1")
        end```

#

i added print to see what it picks

#

it keeps picking 2

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:17 PM

#

your indentation looks screwwy

#

is that how it is in studio?

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:17 PM

#

no

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:17 PM

#

solemn nimbus is that how it is in studio?

this is how it is in studio

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:18 PM

#

no just make it else

#

instead of elseif

#

because rn its picking 2 different random numbers

#

every time you call math.random its a different random number

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:18 PM

#

solemn nimbus instead of elseif

changing it to else broke the entire script

#

even without the "else if" part it keeps picking 2

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:19 PM

#

wdym

#

it prints 2 every time?

#

like how many times did you try it

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:20 PM

#

it hasnt chose 1 once

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:20 PM

#

well thats a 3% chance

#

which is unlikely but not impossible if you think about it

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:21 PM

#

solemn nimbus which is unlikely but not impossible if you think about it

it went up to 10

#

okay it works now with 1

#

but its still 100% no matter if its == 1 or ==2

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:22 PM

#

js to make sure make it a variable in the line before

#

local random = math.random(1,2)
if random == 1 ...```

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:23 PM

#

okay so i noticed something

#

it picks 1 or 2 normally its 50% chance

#

but its 50% it will spawn blocks every time or 50% it wont even spawn a single one

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 7:24 PM

#

change it to this
local randomChance = math.random(1, 2)
if randomChance == 2 then

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:24 PM

#

bro you are not helping

#

that is the same

#

random is not Random

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 7:25 PM

#

and then

#

and then

#

wait im not finished

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:25 PM

#

💀

#

send me a screenshot of the whole script js to make sure theres not a mistake elsewhere

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:28 PM

#

and if you put else on the same like as the if random == 2 then it doesnt print anything?

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:28 PM

#

alr nvm i know why it wont work

#

it goes math.random once and then it decides for the rest of the script

#

i think i would have to use a loop for it

#

crashed my studio by accident 👍

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 7:33 PM

okay im back

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:33 PM

WHY CANT I SEND IT IN VIDEO FORMAT

why are you a whale

solemn nimbus why are you a whale

why you ask so much questions?

solemn nimbus Jul 15, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

whats the problem

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

solemn nimbus whats the problem

its supposed to spawn 1 part

#

like 50% chance it spawns in 1 part

#

not 100% of spawning hundredes of them 😭

try this

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:40 PM

#

so it fixed the hundreds problem

#

but it didnt fix the 100% problem

#

lmao 3 devs vs 1 script

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 7:40 PM

#

so u want it to be 50%

#

?

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

yeah

#

exactly

#

50% of spawning a part

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

i see the math.random(17, 17

#

has only range from 17 to 17

#

instead of 1 to 17

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

its a place holder

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

change it to 1, 17

#

try

#

if it works

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

its gonna be 1, 20 but i dont want to wait for it to spawn\

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

or put it 8, 17

#

so its 50%

#

close to it

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

the math.random(17, 17) is about spawning the button

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

oh

#

oh i see

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

its gonna be 5% to spawn in the button and then 50% for the button to spawn a part

mystic sun Jul 15, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

that clears alot

#

okay

#

u dont have random chance variabled

#

nvm

#

wait

#

im blind just

knotty cloak Jul 15, 2025, 7:45 PM

yo we need more scripters on this 😭
