i was following a alvinblox video and he was making a little dice demonstration but when i run the code instead of one block falling then wait 2 second then the second block falling, both blocks fall at the same time

You cannot leave a space before the parentheses

maybe its because of the spaces? that shouldn’t matter tho…
@EnigmaticDevil has a good solution, nothing is wrong with your script, are you have been getting errors in the output?

#4

are you sure the second block is anchored? or are both Dice even anchored?, cause you could be un-anchoring already un-anchored dices.

Try increasing the wait() to wait(5) instead? And you should check if the Anchored property it set to true on both Dice parts as @EnigmaticDevil mentioned

Use

wait()
--not
wait ()
#7

Both dice are not anchored in the properties tab

In Luau, whitespaces are ignored during the tokenizer. wait (2) and wait(2) results in the same token.
https://www.lua.org/source/5.1/llex.c.html

        if (isspace(ls->current)) {
          lua_assert(!currIsNewline(ls));
          next(ls);
          continue;
        }

You have to anchor them in the properties tab before you run it, if you want the desired effects.
