Part won't show up?[ANSWERED]
I'm making an activation tycoon, but the activation is irrelevant for this question.
01 | local dp = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("DropPart") |
02 | local b = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Button") |
03 | print("1st print") |
04 | local debounce = false |
05 |
06 | if b and dp then |
07 | print("First IF") |
08 | local c = b:FindFirstChild("ClickDetector") |
09 | if c.MouseClick and debounce == false then |
10 | debounce = true |
11 | print("Debounce") |
12 | b.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red() |
13 | local p = Instance.new("Part") |
14 | print("Creating part") |
15 | p.CFrame = dp.CFrame |

I've checked the hierachy and everything is fine. When I click the button, nothing happens.

You're using "c.MouseClick" like it's a condition, when in fact it is an event. Events are connected to functions with event:connect(function).
01 | --First of all, I recommend letting Lua tab your script out, only adding tabs when it's not doing what you want it to do. |
02 |
03 | local dp = script.Parent:WaitForChild("DropPart") --Don't use FindFirstChild, or the script might continue, not knowing what DropPart is. Use WaitForChild to wait for objects to load. |
04 | local b = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Button") |
05 | local c = b:WaitForChild("ClickDetector") |
06 | debounce = false |
07 |
08 | function onMouseClick() |
09 | if debounce == false then |
10 | debounce = true |
11 | b.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red() |
12 | local p = Instance.new("Part") |
13 | p.CFrame = dp.CFrame |
14 | p.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1) |
15 | p.Parent = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("PartStorage") |

The problem is that you don't have a function for MouseClick so the script won't do anything when the button is clicked. You will need a function to do this
01 | local dp = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("DropPart") |
02 | local b = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Button") |
03 | local c = b:FindFirstChild("ClickDetector") |
04 | debounce = false |
05 |
06 | c.MouseClick:connect(function() |
07 | if not debounce then |
08 | debounce = true |
09 | b.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red() |
10 | local p = Instance.new("Part") |
11 | p.CFrame = dp.CFrame |
12 | p.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1) |
13 | p.Parent = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("PartStorage") |
14 | wait(5) |
15 | b.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green() |
16 | wait(5) |
17 | p:Destroy() |
18 | debounce = false |
19 | end |
20 | end) |
