Error from Roblox Studio: Script:5: unexpected symbol near ')'
Hey there! BlackOrange here to help! (Check bottom .Changed actually works)
First of all, if Brick is a Part, I believe that you can't use .Changed on it. .Changed is normally for values such as IntValue, StringValue, NumberValue, ObjectValue and so on. So you might wanna change that part up.
Next, your code is very messy, so let's start off by making sure this is a ServerScript also known as Script
Now, Let's change your variables to local variables because right now you don't need global variables.
local respawntime = 10
local brick = script.Parent
local clone = brick:Clone()
local position = brick.Position
brick.Changed:connect(function()
local newposition = brick.Position
if position ~= newposition then
wait(respawntime)
brick:Destroy()
clone.Parent = game.Workspace
clone.Position = position
end
end
end)
Alright! But wait, the error says... Roblox Studio: Script:5: unexpected symbol near ')' Let's check out code. Most likely you have added an extra end!
local respawntime = 10
local brick = script.Parent
local clone = brick:Clone()
local position = brick.Position
brick.Changed:connect(function() -- This creates 1 end)
local newposition = brick.Position
if position ~= newposition then -- this creates 1 end
wait(respawntime)
brick:Destroy()
clone.Parent = game.Workspace
clone.Position = position
end -- you have extra end!
end
end)
Alright, now delete the end so now we can move on. We now have to see what other problems are there. Firstly, when setting a position of a part, we use Vector3 or CFrame Let's use Vector3
local respawntime = 10
local brick = script.Parent
local clone = brick:Clone()
local position = brick.Position
brick.Changed:Connect(function(p) -- This creates 1 end)
local newposition = brick.Position
if p == "Position" then -- this creates 1 end
wait(respawntime)
brick:Destroy()
clone.Parent = game.Workspace
clone.Position = Vector3.new(position) -- stores x,y,z
end
end)
Alright almost done! ok now add p stands for property and check if property changed and change :connect to :Connect because :connect is deprecated. If you fix p everything should work out!

Best of luck my friend! Final code is the last one
You have made a syntax error in your script. The method you’re using is also not so good; you should check if the property that changed is the position, otherwise you’re checking it needlessly.
local respawntime = 10
local brick = script.Parent
local position = brick.Position
brick.Changed:connect(function(property)
if property == "Position" then
wait(respawntime)
brick:Destroy()
local clone = brick:Clone()
clone.Parent = game.Workspace
clone.Position = position
end
end)
Thank u, sir. Now i understand the changed event better
