Make a shortcut to an item in workspace?

What if I have a part in workspace and I wanted to give it a shortcut in the script.. maybe like "block1" what would I do? I am new to scripting so please help me out here.

This is called a variable. You can set variables to instances (objects), or values such as numbers, strings, and booleans. In this case, you're setting it to an instance:

block = game.Workspace.Part

Now, when you want to use the part later in your code, you can just use 'block'.

block = game.Workspace.Part

block.Transparency = 0.5
block.Anchored = true
--etc

Hope this helped!

block1 = game.Workspace.Part

block1.lalal --u get the drit?
