Why is the = sign in the if part underlined?

= is setting something
== is comparing
if script.Parent.Position == UDim2.new{0.235, 0, 0.2, 0} then
You aren't setting the Position of script.Parent you're checking it so you would use ==

I don't see why this was downvoted, you do not need a whole paragraph just to answer a simple question.
Easy fix, just use a comparison instead of a specifier. This is what it should look like:
local Player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Per = Player:WaitForChild("Coins") -- The player file
Player:WaitForChild("Ready") -- Waits until 'Ready' appears
if script.Parent.Position == UDim2.new{0.235, 0, 0.2, 0} then
Player.Coins.Value = Player.Coins.Value + 5
end
If you dont know what comparisions are, heres a link to the forum that shows what they are.
Simple explanation: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Conditional_statement Detailed one: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Operator#Relational
that means that it is an error. On line 5 instead of saying
if script.PArent.Position = UDim2.new() then
replace the = with == so it should be
if script.Parent.Position == UDim2.new{0.235, 0, 0.2, 0} then
when you use == you are basically returning a bool value. Its saying if that statement is true/false then
= is for setting a value.
local a = "hello"
== is for comparing values.
local a = "hello"
if a == "hello" then
--Your code here
end

A single = sign basically means "equals", almost as if you're setting a value. However when defining an argument the script wants two equal signs (==) to represent "is equal", otherwise it might think <= or >=.
