How do I make a ball that when it disappears, it creates a new one?
I am making a minigame thing where where players are spawned, there's multiple places they can hide, while a ball rolls down a hill and if the player is hit they die. How to I make sure the ball is created over and over? Here's my attempt (im awful at scripting):
ball = game.Workspace.Ball
wait(3)
Instance.new("Ball")
ball.Position = Vector3.new( x, y, z)
ball.Anchored = false

I'm sorry dude, there is not much to work with here. Please try to read some scripting tutorials first. sleazel 1287 — 4y

"Ball" isn't something Lua can recognize. Instead, you can set the shape after you create the standard part itself.
-- Search for the first Ball
ball = game.Workspace:WaitForChild('Ball')
wait(3)
-- Create a Brick, then set it's shape to Ball
local newball Instance.new('Part', game.Workspace)
newball.Name = 'InstancedBall' -- Set a new name for the part
newball.Shape = 'Ball'
newball.Position = Vector3.new(x,y,z)
ball:Destroy() -- You can destroy something by addressing it with :Destroy()
To have this repeat over and over, you can put the bottom part in a function and then create a loop that triggers said function every (x) seconds.
Another way that you could do this could be using clones.
-- Have a ball already somewhere in the workspace
ball = game.Workspace:WaitForChild('Ball')
wait(3)
-- Create a clone of it, then make the clone do what you want
local cball = ball:Clone()
cball.Parent = game.Workspace
cball.Position = Vector3.new(x,y,z)
