1st and 3rd line have issues, add ) at the end of workspace on 1st line and take away the parenthysis next to the comma on 1st line and for 3rd line add 2 speech marks, 1 at the start of ball, 1 at the end

local Ball = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)

Ball.Shape = "Ball"
Ball.Position = game.Workspace.Part.Position

look in roblox wiki for the arguments/parameters for each function

Instance.new(Object in string "", location of newfound object)

make sure to use string for Shape or Enum

Can you removed the game.Workspace though and use Ball.Parent, the second param of instance.new (parent) is deprecated

Im pretty sure its not and Ive been using it for awhile now.

Check if you have Filtering Enabled, If you dont or if it doesn't work when you disable the Filtering Enabled try to use this script:

local Ball = Instance.new("Part")

Ball.Shape = Ball
Ball.Parent = game.Workspace

You dont need the position.

You're telling him he doesn't need position when he probably does for whatever purpose. FE had nothing to do with it.

Hello there. I hope this explanation helps:

local ball = Instance.new("Part") -- here we create the part
ball.Shape = "Ball" -- shape has to be a string 
ball.Parent = game.Workspace -- here we set the parent to workspace so that you will see it spawn
ball.Name = "SuperBall" -- this is optional though it helps if you have other parts in the workspace
ball.Position = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("SuperBall"):FindFirstChild("Position") -- here we want to make sure that the ball is actually there with the WaitForChild

Hope this helps. Have a great day scripting!
