Why won't my water fountain work?

Asked 206 views2 answers
function onClicked()

while true do
	for i = 1, 20 do
		script.Parent.brick1to20 = Instance.new("Part")
		script.Parent.brick1to20.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")
		script.Parent.brick1to20.Transparency = 0.5
		script.Parent.brick1to20.Shape = "Ball"
		wait(2)
		script.Parent.brick1to20.Name = "MyBrickNumber" .. tostring(i)
		script.Parent.brick1to20.Parent = game.Workspace
		script.Parent.brick1to20:remove()
	end
end


script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)
end

It's not working for some reason. I'm trying to make it where you have to click to turn on the fountain. It does not say anything in the output and it's just plain not working.

Put your code in a code block, to make it easier to read.

What is "script.Parent.brick1to20"? It appears as if you are trying to use an object as a variable.

    for i = 1, 20 do
    f   = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
   c = Insance.new("ClickDetector", game.Workspace.Part) -- take out if you have a click detector.
        f.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")
        f.Transparency = 0.5
        f.Shape = "Ball"
        wait(2)
        f.Name = "MyBrickNumber" .. tostring(i)
        f.Parent = game.Workspace
        f:remove()
    end
end


script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)
end

brick1to20 isnt a thing... Unless it is in workspace which would than be

game.Workspace.brick1to20

I have also made it easier for you to, just incase you didnt add a clickdetector.

Properties of objects are not variables. You cannot set script.Parent.brick1to20.

Use a normal variable, like brick = .

In addition, you never parent your new part, until a moment before destroying it. Its parent needs to be set prior to destroying it so that it exists in the world for some amount of time.
