This should work for your intended purpose.

local MainPart = workspace.MainPart
local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Params = RaycastParams.new()
Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = { Character }

local function Visibilty()
	-- Check if the jumpscare object is on the player screen
	local Vector, OnScreen = Camera:WorldToScreenPoint(MainPart.Position)
	
	if not OnScreen then
		return false
	end
	
	-- Cast a ray to the jumpscare object
	local Result = workspace:Raycast(Camera.CFrame.Position, Camera.CFrame.LookVector * 500, Params)
	
	-- Check if the raycast hit anything and if what was hit is the jumpscare object
	if Result and Result.Instance == MainPart then
		return true
	end
end


while true do
	local Visible = Visibilty()
	
	if Visible then
		task.wait(1)
		MainPart:Destroy()
	end
	
	task.wait(1)
end
