So as you can see from the title, I am trying to make a tool that spawns a part. I have made it so it cant be spammed crashing the server in under a second but it just wont spawn anything . Here u have my code

 local JustSpawned = false   
 local Tool = game.StarterPack.SandTool
 local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer;
 local Mouse = Player:GetMouse();

 function draw() 
    local Sand = Instance.new("Part")
    Sand.Anchored = false
    Sand.Size = Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1)
    Sand.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Sand yellow")
    JustSpawned = true
    wait(1)
    JustSpawned = false
 end
 if Tool.Equipped then
    if JustSpawned == false then
        Mouse.Button1Down:connect(function() draw() end)
    end
 end

I don't even know if I'm right, actually I 99% doubting myself, but you are trying to spawn a part for everyone from a local script. I don't think it works like that. But I'm probably wrong. Xyternal 247 — 2y

Also what are you trying to spawn? Maybe I can give you a better way of doing it. Xyternal 247 — 2y

Im trying to spawn a little cube which is unanchored and is kinda like a sand particle Katzencrafter21 0 — 2y

What type of script - is it a sever or is it a client? Anything on the output? Has the Sand been parented to workspace or somewhere else? Is it supposed to spawn for all players or is it for the player that holds the tool only? (Since it was kinda unclear) NotThatFamouss 605 — 2y

I found a few issues:

You didn't parent the Sand
Few errors
A better syntax could be used

Let's start with the first issue: Parenting

You need to parent the Sand to the workspace or a descendant of the workspace in order to make it visible.
It can be garbage-collected if not parented.

Errors

The position wasn't specified
Anything on the StarterPack would get automatically re-parented into the player client's Backpack

Syntax

Tools already has their own function if the mouse clicks while tools are equipped: Activated
if var == false can be replace with not
task.wait(n)/task.wait() are advised to use than wait(n)/wait(0

Here is the fixed script: (Assuming it's a Client Script)

local JustSpawned = false   
local Tool = script.Parent

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HumanoidRootPart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") -- // This is if it's R15

function draw() 
    local Sand = Instance.new("Part")
    Sand.Anchored = false

    Sand.Size = Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1)
    Sand.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(HumanoidRootPart.Position.X, HumanoidRootPart.Position.X + 20), HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y + 25, math.random(HumanoidRootPart.Position.Z, HumanoidRootPart.Position.Z + 20))

    Sand.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Sand yellow")
    Sand.Parent = workspace

    JustSpawned = true
    task.wait(1)
    JustSpawned = false
end

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    if not JustSpawned then
        draw()
    end
end)

Your Solution was pretty helpfull at achiving my almost final verison. What I wanted to do now Is sort the sand into a folder that is inside a general folder on what the player spawned. Katzencrafter21 0 — 2y
