It’s either lagging too much, or more likely it looks like ‘ground’ is incorrectly assigned. I really recommend just setting CanCollide=false and ditching the Touched event at the bottom. Blocks disappear when they fall out of the world after all.

Maybe try this code?

local Droplets = 0
local ground = game.Workspace.Ground

while true do
	local Rain = Instance.new ("Part")
	if Droplets >= 2000 then
		break
	end
	local RNGX = math.random(1,99)
	local RNGZ = math.random(1,163)
	Droplets = Droplets + 1
		Rain.Parent = game.Workspace
		Rain.Name = "RainDrop"
	Rain.Size = Vector3.new(.5,1.5,.5)
		Rain.Transparency = .5
		Rain.CanCollide = true
		Rain.BrickColor =  BrickColor.new("Electric blue")
		Rain.Anchored = false
	Rain.Position = Vector3.new(RNGX,13,RNGZ)
	Rain.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
	wait(1.5)
	ground.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Name == "Rain" then
		wait(2)
		hit:Destroy()
	end
   end)
end

I got it working the way I wanted it to, thanks guys!

local Droplets = 0
local ground = game.Workspace.Ground
local Rain = Instance.new("Part")

while true do
local RNGX = math.random(1,99)
	local RNGZ = math.random(1,163)
	local Rain = Instance.new("Part")
	Droplets = Droplets + 1
	Rain.Parent = game.Workspace
	Rain.Name = "RainDrop"
	Rain.Size = Vector3.new(.5,1.5,.5)
	Rain.Transparency = .5
	Rain.CanCollide = true
		Rain.BrickColor =  BrickColor.new("Electric blue")
		Rain.Anchored = false
	Rain.Position = Vector3.new(RNGX,-1,RNGZ)
		Rain.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
	wait()
	ground.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if Rain then 
			wait(.5)
			Rain:Destroy()
		end
	end)
end

A thing to note is that “eof” means end of file. I just saw your error recently and it said “Expected ‘end’(to close ‘do’ at line 4), got eof; did you forget to close then at line 20?”

This most likely because you’re missing an end. But if it’s the other way around, and it says that it’s expecting then more than likely you have too much ends, or at least, more than enough.
