How can I make an explosion happen when I click a screen button?

I’m new to scripting so please help. I was able to script on a part, but I don’t know how to transfer it to a button. Here is my script:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)

local explosion = Instance.new(“Explosion”)

explosion.BlastRadius = 50

explosion.BlastPressure = 500000

explosion.Position = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position

explosion.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart

end)

How would I write this out? Where would I put the MouseButton1Click?

This?

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)

local explosion = Instance.new(“Explosion”)

explosion.BlastRadius = 50

explosion.BlastPressure = 500000

explosion.Position = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position

explosion.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart

end)

Hey!

Note if you’re trying to do this with a button, it’s not going to be visible for all players, just you, unless you use a RemoteEvent | Roblox Creator Documentation to fire the server and execute your code there.

Now, first of all, to detect if your button is beeing pressed use the GuiButton | Roblox Creator Documentation event. This can be executed like this:

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    -- Code here
end)

Now, as said, it wouldn’t be visible for all players, you would need a RemoteEvent | Roblox Creator Documentation.
First of all, create a Instance | Roblox Creator Documentation of it, for example in ReplicatedStorage | Roblox Creator Documentation.

Now reference it in the LocalScript | Roblox Creator Documentation of the button and in the Script | Roblox Creator Documentation of the server.

In the client script, add a RemoteEvent | Roblox Creator Documentation function and execute it.
This looks like this, for example:

RemoteEvent:FireServer()

After that, add a RemoteEvent | Roblox Creator Documentation event in the Script | Roblox Creator Documentation of the server.
This can be done like this:

RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    -- Code here
end)

In the Script | Roblox Creator Documentation of the server just add your own function and you should be fine!

I hope this could help you out with your problem!

Cheers
