I have a script which makes smoke disappear and reappear but it's not working. Can someone help?
I'm making a script which makes smoke disappear and reappear but it doesn't seem to work. Does any one know what I did wrong? My script is above.
1 | local smoke = game.Workspace.Smoke |
2 |
3 | while true do |
4 | wait (10) |
5 | smoke.Opacity = 0.5 |
6 | wait (5) |
7 | smoke.Opacity = 0 |
8 | wait(5) |
9 | end |

Maybe it is changing but you're not noticing it. Try using print(smoke.Opacity) to check if it really works or not. rabbi99 714 — 4y

In the output it says "Smoke is not a valid member of workspace" and then I change it to local smoke = game.Worspace.Parent.Smoke and then it says "smoke is not a valid member of DataModel" I'm pretty new to scripting so idk what that means. ArCeMo6 -1 — 4y

when you say workspace.Parent your referring to the parent of the workspace, which is the game, or, datamodel quinzt 201 — 4y

I tried game.workspace.smoke.parent but it didn't work how would I make it so I'm talking about the smoke itself it's in a part so would I do game.workspace.part.smoke? I'm sorry if it seems really weird to ask things like this I'm new. ArCeMo6 -1 — 4y

so since all of this hasnt worked, here's a new way. Put the script inside of the smoke and copy and paste this new code.
01 | local smoke = script.Parent |
02 |
03 | while wait(10) do |
04 | smoke.Opacity = 0.5 |
05 | print(smoke.Opacity) -- like rabbi99 said, print opacity to see if it works |
06 | wait(5) |
07 | smoke.Opacity = 0 |
08 | wait(5) |
09 | print(smoke.Opacity) |
10 | end |
if that doesn't work, make sure the smoke actually does exist, remember roblox lua is case sensitive
