Why isn't this brick turning invisible?

I have a script. When you click it (yes i do have a click detector), it is supposed to turn invisible. Pretty simple script, but it isn't working

here is the script

function click()
    wait(0.5)
    script.Parent.Transparency = 1
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(click)

Thank you

Your problem is the fact that you're using the wrong event.

MouseButton1Down is used for GUIs. However, you want to make a Part clickable, so you need a different event.

What you're looking for is the MouseClick event of ClickDetectors.

Remember, a Part itself has no events to record mouse input. Parts are entirely dependent on their ClickDetectors.

function click()
    script.Parent.Transparency = 1
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(click)

Thank you, I am used to doing GUI's yogipanda123 120 — 10y

If you're putting the script in the part, you're trying to bind the click event to the part.

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseButton1Down:connect(click)

If you're putting the script in the detector, you're trying to make the detector transparent.

script.Parent.Parent.Transparency = 1
