Can't change material through script?
This is in a regular script inside the part that is supposed to light up.
local a = script.Parent
while true do
a.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
wait(math.random(0,2))
a.Material = "Neon"
end
It should be like a flickering light, but it only does line 4 and stops.

The part doesn't flicker because as soon as the part turns into a neon material it instantly changes back to plastic. In order to fix this you simply need to add a wait function after line 6.
like this:
local a = script.Parent
while true do
a.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
wait(math.random(0,2))
a.Material = "Neon"
wait(math.random(0,2)) -- This wait needs to be added.
end

You do several things wrong here, but I suffered from same problems back when I started, there's nothing to worry about.
Lua doesn't actually know what Smooth Plastic, or Neon is.
Instead it knows what Enum.Material.Neon or Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic is, because this time it doesn't treat those as ordinary string, but as types which can be assigned to different things.
You can find literally everything in Enum.
Enum is translating things that only we humans know, to lua.
Also Note to make sure that your script is server script and not Local Script
