Hello,

There is a method of running a function when a part is 'Clicked'.

ClickDetector

You can insert a ClickDetector into a part, where the script is located. This will make the part clickable, and will detect when a player has clicked a button.

If you run the code:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.mouseClick:connect(function()
    -- (Your Script Block)
end

Basically, the script will look at ClickDetector's hidden property called "mouseClick" which will detect if it was clicked by a mouse, then it connects itself to run a function.

If there are any problems that occured, please do respond in the comments.

Sincerley,

It is like saying ":Preload" is deprecated u noob. It can still be used, but :PreloadAsync would be a better way to do things. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

Hello, It is deprecated, but it still works. This is a simple way to start learning it, and then go to a different route, in any cases, this method is simple and good for beginners for starting off with this kind of scripting. Arti_BLOX 58 — 6y

insert a ClickDetector and type in a script in the part or somwhere else

script.Parent.ClickDetector.mouseClick:connect(function() 

end)

This the script if you put it in the part the script.Parent.ClickDetector selects the clickdetector and the mouseClick will activate the function if you click on the part
