You need to use the Instance.new function in order to create ROBLOX Objects (or Instances) from Lua code. Aftering 'Instancing' it, you can code its properties and listen to its events like any other ROBLOX Object:
local button = script.Parent
local newButton = nil
button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
if newButton then newButton:Destroy() end
local random = math.floor(math.random()*100)
newButton = Instance.new("TextButton")
newButton.Size = UDim2.new(0, 500, 0, 250)
newButton.Text = "Another example of setting a property"
newButton.Parent = script.Parent.Parent
newButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
print("New Button Clicked! " .. random)
end)
end)
