I know this :
function example()
end
But then do I use local or Arguments / parameters?

How would I create a function that has 2 parts created?

Functions are used to make your code a lot more organized and convenient. For example let's say you wanted to create two parts a bunch of times in your code, then a function that creates two parts when you call it is really helpful.
Parameters are used when you have a function that requires more information to run. For example, if you have a function that creates a certain amount of parts based on what you input, then you use parameters.
Example:
function CreateParts(numberOfParts) -- parameter is the number of parts to create
for i=1,numberOfParts do -- for loop to create the number of blocks
local part = Instance.new("Part", workspace) -- part instance in workspace
end
end
CreateParts(7) -- This creates 7 parts
CreateParts(100) -- This creates 100 parts
From what I understand, you want a function that creates two parts. So you do not need parameters in your function. You only need to make two parts.
This would create the following:
function example() -- function to create two blocks
local p1 = Instance.new("Part", workspace) -- creates one block
local p2 = Instance.new("Part", workspace) -- creates another block
end
example() -- Creates two blocks
example() -- Also creates two blocks
I hope I explained the purpose of parameters well enough and was able to help out.
What I’m thing is Arugments and parameters. So I think the script would look like this :
function part(name,trans,anchor,collide)
local part1 = Instance.new(“part”)
part1.name = name
part1.transperency = trans
part1.Anchored = anchor
part1.CanCollide = collide
end
part(hello,0,true,true)
I don’t know if that’s right or not. Please remind me if it is

could you please explain a bit more i dont quite understand. do you want to create parts using the example function or do you want to pass two parts into example and do something to those parts.
Yes functions. In fact I got a new thing below.
