How would I be able to correctly code this function?

Hi there,

Looking for some assistance.

I was advised to create a function because the part’s I was creating had the same properties except for the color and size. I’m having a hard time trying to explain the issue, basically I want it each part to be labeled, part1, part2, part3 … etc. I hope the code could explain itself

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tweenInformation = TweenInfo.new(
	5,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Quint,
	Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,
	0,
	false,
	0
)
local Part = Instance.new("Part") 
function createPart(color)
	Part.Parent = game.Workspace
	Part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
	Part.Anchored = true
	Part.CanCollide = false
	Part.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
	Part.BrickColor = color
end

createPart(BrickColor.Black) 
createPart(BrickColor.DarkGray()) -- I don't want it to overwrite the other createPart

local partInfo1 = { 
	Size = Vector3.new(2.5,0.3,2.5)
}

local partInfo2 = { 
	Size = Vector3.new(2.7,0.2,2.7);
}

local tween1 = tweenService:Create(createPart, tweenInformation, partInfo1)
local tween2 = tweenService:Create(createPart, tweenInformation, partInfo2)
wait(10)
tween1:Play()
tween2:Play()

Appreciate it,

Inside here, you want to run Part:Clone() and store the result as a variable and change the new part’s properties. Another small thing is to set the parent of the part last so the server doesn’t have to replicate as much data.

Hi there,

Thanks for the helpful insight, when I run the code I get no errors but nothing happens? If you wish, could you elaborate?

Appreciate it,

Try to put the Instance.new() inside the create function like this:


function createPart(color)
    local Part = Instance.new("Part")
 	Part.Parent = game.Workspace
 	Part.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
 	Part.Anchored = true
 	Part.CanCollide = false
 	Part.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
 	Part.BrickColor = color
end

and remove the arcs from DarkGray()
