use game.RunService.Stepped instead of while true do for this.

What’s happening is a common case of script exhaustion. Studio only allows scripts to run for a certian amount of time each frame. If that number is exceeded, Studio will end up crashing due to an exhaustion error. The solution is simple, replace while true do with while wait() do. Replacing the condition in the while loop with wait() will wait a duration of one frame every time the while loop runs, allowing the script to run without exhaustion.

You need to add a wait(). Do it like this:

local clickDetector = workspace.Button.ClickDetector

function onMouseClick()
    while true do
        local part = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
        part.Transparency = 0.5
        part.Anchored = false
        part.Position = Vector3.new(26.17, 52.86, -15.685)
	wait() -- Add this wait
    end
end

clickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick)

Hope it helped.
