Like what really gets me confuse is how Parent is under Script when it's a child. Please explain it to me like I'm a 5 years old because I'm really new at scripting. Thank you very much!

I've seen alot of ".Parent" scripting and I want to know how Parent can be under another thing?
1 answer
PROPERTY:
If the script is something .Parent means that the coder/scripter/developer wants to get whatever object that is currently hold it.
For example:
script.Parent
That meant that I want to get the object that is currently holding the script.

Parent is a value carried over by roblox internally. A lot of code languages don't actually let you simple declare a 'parent' in a pathway (thats whats its called when you direct code to specific information). So roblox puts a table of values in each instance with keys (what you call the "number" in a table that's not numbered) == to the value. So when you state "Something.Parent" you are actuall
are calling a table value due to roblox's weird mechanics. That table value directs you back to parent. These values are also locked so when the table switched the actual parent does too.
