I ordered a book online featuring roblox tutorials and scripts. It's not that old. 2012 i believe. Yet i can't even finish the EASIEST tutorial in the world. ------------------------------------- Script: local Message = Instance.new("Message") Message.text = "Hello World" Message.Parent = game.Workspace wait(5) Message.Remove () ------------------------------------- Expectations: * A message appears at the beginning of a game * The message disappears after 5 seconds Reality: Nothing Notes: * The script is located in game.workspace.terrain * I play in solo mode * The book said that to make a new script you need to follow: Insert.Object.Script Due to the updated GUI i followed: Insert.Advanced_Objects.Script Any help would be highly appreciated.

That code is right. Just make sure ".Remove()" is ":Remove()"

I double checked and you're right! The book said the same, i just misread it by accident.

@UncleTaz: You should not use the camelCase methods (findFirstChild, children, remove, destroy) and instead stick to the CamelCase methods (FindFirstChild, GetChildren, Remove, Destroy)
