What is wrong with my script?
Please make your question title relevant to your question content. It should be a one-sentence summary in question form.
I tried to make a sphere bulb that turns on and off. The sphere was put under workspace and i inserted a script and a PointLight into it...... Here is the code I had trouble with it says line 6 is the problem...
lightupsphere = script.Parent
--print(lightupsphere)--was used as test
while true do
for i,v in pairs(lightupsphere:getChildren()) do
if(v~=script) then
v.Sphere.PointLight.Enabled = not v.Sphere.PointLight.Enabled
end
end
wait(2)
end

Assuming lightupsphere is the sphere with the light in it:
v in line 4 is a child of lightupsphere. That would make it either the script or the PointLight.
You don't need v.Sphere.PointLight -- the PointLight is v.
v.Enabled = not v.Enabled
(While this is not wrong in your script) It would be a better check, rather than v ~= script to actually require that v is a light:
if v:IsA("Light") then
-- Light is a super-class for PointLight and SpotLight
