I been trying to do a light flicker, but it just doesn't work Ex.
function Flicker()
Pointlight.enabled=true
wait(0.8)
Pointlight.enabled=false
wait(.2)
Pointlight.enabled=true
wait(1)
Pointlight.enabled=false
wait(.2)
Pointlight.enabled=true
end

What is wrong with this script?

All names and identifiers are case sensitive. That means Enabled and enabled are completely different things
(Certain methods have aliases for both capitalizations, but this is almost never true of properties)
ROBLOX properties are (almost) always Capitalized, so enabled should be Enabled everywhere in this snippet.
You have not defined PointLight as a variable. Probably, it can be defined in a way like this:
local PointLight = script.Parent.PointLight
It's best practice to include variable definitions as far as down as is possible (meaning in this case at the beginning of Flicker.) If you have multiple functions using PointLight you should define the variable above the first (first lexically speaking) function using it.
In addition, the function Flicker is not shown to be called. You can call it with
Flicker()
or call it repeatedly with something like
while true do
Flicker()
end
or connect to someEvent:
someEvent:connect( Flicker )
Try to fire the function
function Flicker()
Pointlight.enabled=true
wait(0.8)
Pointlight.enabled=false
wait(.2)
Pointlight.enabled=true
wait(1)
Pointlight.enabled=false
wait(.2)
Pointlight.enabled=true
end
Flicker()
Thumbs up if this helps!
