How do I actually use OOP properly so that it's actually useful?

This is my first time posting on the devforum, so sorry if this isn’t posted in the right category

Anyways, so I’m a beginner at scripting, but I have a decent grasp on certain programming concepts like variables and functions and stuff like that.

So I decided to learn OOP on roblox, and I managed to make my own constructor function that creates a new part based on the parameters that are passed to the function.

This is the code:


-- modulescript
brick = {}
brick.__index = brick

function brick.new(position, transparency)
	
	local newBrick = {}
	setmetatable(newBrick, brick)
	
	newBrick.Position = position
	newBrick.Transparency = transparency
	
	return newBrick
	
end

return brick

The brick.new() function seems to work, but I still can’t figure out how to actually spawn a new part, and then assign the properties of the object to the actual part itself.

I’ve read a bunch of devforum threads regarding OOP but I still can’t seem to actually understand how to apply it to my own games

So if anybody could help me, that would be great
