I know a lot of other people on the dev forum also had this question. You might want to search them and see the replies.

The other replies link to other posts, here’s how I would suggest doing things.

  1. Start with a simple goal, for example, making a cube that grows larger each time you click on it.
  2. Identify the types of things that you will need to create it. Click Detector, LocalScript/Script, Part.Size
    2a. Ask on DevForum with very specific questions of ‘how do I track when a user clicks on a part’ if you don’t know what you are looking for.
    2b. Look inside pre-existing scripts that may have part of what you are looking for (door that opens when you click on it)
  3. Look up the API (ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function() end))
  4. Write your basic script.
    4a. Devforum if you still can’t figure it out.
  5. Once it works, try adding more stuff to it: Cube will have an animation when it grows.

Each time you solve a problem, you will learn more.
