local test = game.Workspace.TestBrick -- Directory of what will function

function onTouch(part) -- When player touches brick, code will occur
test.Transparency = 0.3 -- Makes TestBrick transparency to 0.3
wait(3) -- Wait 3 seconds until a new code will occur
test.Transparency = 0 -- Makes TestBrick transparency to 0
end -- only put end if it has FUNCTION or IF, I forgot the other one -.-

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch) -- Makes the code function

Typically you begin at the beginning. And Part Instantiation is at the beginning. So yes. :3


However, don't be surprised if you get real confused. He is doing too much too fast in that Cookbook. Just keep thinking about it, do some tests on your own (that's the best thing you can do in ANY language), and you will be fine.

It took me about 3 months before I learned Lua enough to make a game on my own. But I had maybe 4-5 years of experience in programming before I got here.

I have made my current game myself with only about 1 week of learning. However, I frequently use Scripting Helpers forum which is a great help.

This link is the best place to start, because it is meant to take player from no knowledge to a competent scripter.

Both the Scripting Book and Cookbook can get you started with scripting.
