Is there a way I can make my dropper script shorter?

Asked 361 views1 answers

Hey! I was just wondering if I can make this script I wrote, more simple? 

x = 1
y = 1
z = 1

function drop()
	local Dropped = Instance.new("Part")
	Dropped.Position = script.Parent.Position
	Dropped.Size = Vector3.new(x, y , z)
	Dropped.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Beige") 
	Dropped.TopSurface = "Smooth"
	Dropped.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
	Dropped.Name = "Block"
	Dropped.Parent = script.Parent
	Dropped.Massless = true
	Dropped.Anchored = false
end

while true do
	wait(3)
	drop()
end

Thanks!

Actually, instead of instancing you can make a pre existing part and clone it.

local dropped_sample = script.Dropped -- assuming the part is a child of the script

local function drop()
	local dropped = dropped_sample:Clone()
		dropped.Parent = script.Parent
end

while wait(3) do
	drop()
end
