Random brick help?
This makes a brick that randomly goes up and down like the bars in this video. It has been working but if I stand on top of them they will teleport on top of me. To try to fix that, I've limited how far it goes up if someone's touching it, but the script is breaking. There are no errors, but whenever the brick is touched the brick stops. Any ideas why?
touched = false
prevnum = 0
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function()
touched = true
end)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:connect(function()
touched = false
end)
while touched == false do
wait(.05)
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
a = math.random(3, 3)
script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Size.X, a, script.Parent.Size.Z)
script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Position.X, (a / 2) , script.Parent.Position.Z)
prevnum = a
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
end
while touched == true do
wait(.05)
if prevnum == 3 then
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
b = math.random(3, 4)
script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Size.X, b, script.Parent.Size.Z)
script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Position.X, (b / 2) , script.Parent.Position.Z)
print(prevnum)
prevnum = b
print(prevnum)
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
elseif prevnum == 4 then
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
b = math.random(3, 5)
script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Size.X, b, script.Parent.Size.Z)
script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Position.X, (b / 2) , script.Parent.Position.Z)
prevnum = b
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
elseif prevnum == 5 then
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
b = math.random(3, 6)
script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Size.X, b, script.Parent.Size.Z)
script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Position.X, (b / 2) , script.Parent.Position.Z)
prevnum = b
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
elseif prevnum == 6 then
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
b = math.random(3, 7)
script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Size.X, b, script.Parent.Size.Z)
script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Position.X, (b / 2) , script.Parent.Position.Z)
prevnum = b
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
elseif prevnum == 7 then
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
b = math.random(3, 7)
script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Size.X, b, script.Parent.Size.Z)
script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Position.X, (b / 2) , script.Parent.Position.Z)
prevnum = b
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
end
end

Like death said in his comment, simply change every instance of script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new to script.Parent.CFrame = CFrame.new to stop it jumping on top of the the Player.
The reason it's stopping, however, is because each of those loops is set to only run once. When the brick gets Touched by any part (you should always do a sanity check to see if a Character touched it, by checking if Game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) returns anything), the first loop ends and the second begins. When the brick stops being Touched by any part (not just the one that first Touched it), the second loop will end and the script will then end.
Try using just this:
while true do
wait(.05)
local a = math.random(3, 3) --local so that the variable is only used within the loop.
script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Size.X, a, script.Parent.Size.Z)
script.Parent.CFrame = CFrame3.new(script.Parent.Position.X, (a / 2) , script.Parent.Position.Z)
end
(By the way, those bars aren't moving randomly in that video: they each represent the volume of a short band of frequencies of sound being played in the song at that moment. IIRC, the lower pitches are on the left, and the higher on the right.)
