How do I make a dropper that is connected to a button mechanism please help?!?
Alright, so far in making a tycoon from scratch I have had good luck with finding out code (as it is my first time coding) but I cannot seem to find the command to put in a script that will spawn a block in a certain location, here is a snippet of that I have so far:
function onClicked(playerWhoClicked)
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
local points = playerWhoClicked.leaderstats.Copper
points.Value = points.Value-1 --If I knew the command I would put it below this comand
wait(1) --Time it takes to cross conveyor
local points = playerWhoClicked.leaderstats.Money
points.Value = points.Value+5
wait(4)
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Green()
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)
Sorry my question is so simple I couldn't find it anywhere else and I am not giving up on making my fist code without any free models! So please if you know the command and how to implement it please let me know!

I have made a quick example of a simple dropper, this kind of code can be found in a lot of free model tycoon builders:-
-- create click Brick
local tmpPart = Instance.new('Part', game.Workspace)
tmpPart.Anchored = true
tmpPart.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,255)
local clicker = Instance.new('ClickDetector', tmpPart)
-- get the service
local debrisServ = game:GetService('Debris')
local blockLife = 10 -- 10 seconds
-- dropper
local dropper = Instance.new('Part', game.Workspace)
dropper.Anchored = true
dropper.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,15,-5)
-- the part that will be dropped
local dropPart = Instance.new('Part')
dropPart.Color = Color3.new(0,0,0)
-- add cash holder into the part
local cash = Instance.new('IntValue', dropPart)
cash.Name = 'cash'
cash.Value = 10
-- add the event
local deb = false
clicker.MouseClick:connect(function(plrClicked)
if deb then return end
deb = true
-- change color on click
tmpPart.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
-- clone the part
local clone = dropPart:Clone()
-- this will also use the rotation of the dropper
clone.CFrame = dropper.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -3,0)
debrisServ:AddItem(clone, blockLife)
clone.Parent = game.Workspace
wait(0.5)
tmpPart.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,255)
deb = false
end)
As there may be a lot of new things here that you have not seen, please first check the wiki then post a comment. I will then update this question explaining the part of code as it would take too much time to explain all of the functions of this code.
