You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? I want a part to move upwards endlessly while being touched.

  2. What is the issue? My script i attempted to do is erroring

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? attempted to do position but that failed in the script it just gave me an error

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function()
	while wait() do
		print("Touching")
		Part.Position.Y = Part.Position.Y +1
	end
end)

Hello i’m trying to make a part go up in the air endlessy but the script errors why is this happening how can i make a part go in the y direction?

you have to add to the position like this:

local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function()
	while wait() do
		print("Touching")
		Part.Position += Vector3.new(0,1,0)
	end
end)

Also, using a while true loop for this will cause major lag.

Tween

local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function(thing)
	if thing.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Part, TweenInfo.new(20), {Position = Vector3.new(Part.Position.X, Part.Position.Y + 200, Part.Position.Z)}):Play()
	end
end)

You can do something like this,

local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function(obj)
    local Humanoid = obj.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

    if Humanoid then
        Part.Position = Part.Position + Vector3.new(0,[[Number you want it to raise by]],0)
    end
end)

Roblox does not let you directly edit the components of a vector3. You have to add or subtract using vector3’s (single numbers can be used for division and multiplication of vector3’s).

workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function()
    while true do
        workspace.Part.Position += Vector3.new(0,1,0)
        task.wait() --[[ use this from now on, wait() is deprecated
                         and constant use of wait() can cause slow downs
                         and can have delays of up to 1/60 (0.01667) sec or lower
                      ]]
    end
end)

Hope this helps.

local Part = workspace.Part--The Part to be touched
local Speed = 0.05--What you want the speed to be

Part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)--When Touched
	while task.wait() do--Create an infinite loop
		Part.Position += Vector3.new(0, Speed, 0)--Start moving the Part
	end
end)

local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function()
	while wait() do
		print("Touching")
		Part.Position = Vector3.new(Part.Position.X, Part.Position.Y + 1, Part.Position.Z)
	end
end)

P.s. you can use TweenService for this purpose
