Help with a part's surface?
On line 10-19 there is a table that should loop around turning each surface of "Part" smooth but it won't,why? How would I fix this problem?
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
Tool = script.Parent
----------------------------
function CreatePart(CFPosition)
local Part = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace)
Part.FormFactor = "Custom"
Part.Size = Vector3.new(1,0.2,1)
Part.CFrame = CFPosition
local Surfaces ={
Part.BackSurface,
Part.BottomSurface,
Part.FrontSurface,
Part.LeftSurface,
Part.RightSurface,
Part.TopSurface}
for i,v in pairs (Surfaces)do
print(v)
v = "Smooth"
end
return Part
end
function RandomNumbers(Num1,Num2)
local RandomNumbers = {
math.random(Num1,Num2),
math.random(Num1,Num2),
math.random(Num1,Num2)}
return RandomNumbers
end
----------------------------
Tool.Equipped:connect(function(Mouse)
Mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
for Index = 1,5 do
local PartPosition = CFrame.new(Mouse.Hit.p)*CFrame.new(0,1,0)
local RandomNumbers = RandomNumbers(1,10)
local RandomizedPosition = PartPosition*CFrame.new(RandomNumbers[1],RandomNumbers[2],RandomNumbers[3])--Scatters part at random positions in diffrent axis
local Parts = CreatePart(RandomizedPosition)
Parts.Name = "Part"..Index
end
end)
end)
P.s I got no errors in the output

Assigning to v just assigns to v
It doesn't change Part or it surfaces, any more than the following changes 5:
five = 5 five = 7
You have to explicitly modify the object that you want to change. That could look something like this:
local Surfaces = {"Back", "Bottom", "Top", "Left", "Right", "Front"}
for _, surface in pairs(Surfaces) do
Part[ surface .. "Surface"] = "Smooth"
end
The square brackets Part[ ] is just like using Part.property, except that you can use expressions (variables) inside, rather than just some particular name.
As an example, Part.Name is actually doing Part["Name"].
If we wanted a property but didn't know which one, we could do
property = "Name" print( Part[property] )
Note that Part.property would not work, because that asks for the property named "property" (which Part doesn't have).
