Your First Script

Let’s make a Hello World script. Create a script in ServerScriptService. You will see:

print("Hello, world!")

Then playtest the game. You will see “Hello, world!” in the output. Now, let’s spawn a part in Workspace.

local part = Instance.new("Part")

We need to put it in Workspace.

part.Parent = workspace

We made a part! Let’s change its position, size, name, and color!

part.Name = "MyPart"
part.Size = Vector3.new(2, 2, 2)
part.Position = Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)
part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(192, 32, 12)
part.Anchored = false

Playtest your game and you will see a red part named “MyPart” with a size of 2, 2, 2 and Anchored property set to false.

workspace is a built-in shortcut for the Workspace service. However, other services don’t have built-in shortcuts, so you need to use game:GetService(serviceName: string) to access them.
