Why doesn't this move my part?
Nothing comes up in output. Used test mode(F6). I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the number of ends I have, but every time I added one it said it was incorrect.
b = workspace.Union.Position.Y
function a()
if b == 13 then
repeat
wait(.5)
b = b + 1
until
b == 27
else
repeat
wait(.5)
b = b - 1
until
b == 13
end
end
function onClick()
a()
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:connect(onClick)

Two mistakes: To assign position to a part, you have to use a Vector3 or CFrame value. They x, y and z values of a Vector3 are read-only, meaning you can't manipulate them individually. Second, variables are references, they are not actually the instance. What you are doing is assigning b as the value of y, instead of assigning it as y itself. This means that instead, use b as a reference to the part, and manipulate it's position by obtaining it through the variable: b = workspace.Union
Here's the complete code:
b = workspace.Union
function a()
if b.Position.y == 13 then
repeat
wait(.5)
b.Position = Vector3.new(b.Position.x,b.Position.y + 1,b.Position.z)
until
b.Position.y == 27
else
repeat
wait(.5)
b.Position = Vector3.new(b.Position.x,b.Position.y - 1,b.Position.z)
until
b.Position.y == 13
end
end
function onClick()
a()
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:connect(onClick)

The first problem with this code is that you are creating a variable that is equal the the Y position. This variable is not associated with the actual position. Changing this variable will not change the actual position.
Second the y property of a Vector3 is read only. You cannot modify it.
Third the y property is in lowercase.
Finally I cleaned up the code and added a debounce.
b = workspace.Union
function ChangeY(y)
b.Position = b.Position + Vector3.new(0,y,0)
end
function a()
local db = true
if db then
db = false
if b.Position.Y == 13 then
repeat
wait(.5)
ChangeY(1)
until
b.Position.y == 27
else
repeat
wait(.5)
ChangeY(-1)
until
b.Position.Y == 13
end
db = true
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:connect(a)
I don't want to give wrong info due to me being an amateur in scripting but you should assign a cframe and add to the part a gyro or BodyPosition. I don't have the program on me right now but ya ill take a look for more specifics
