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.
local smoke = game.Workspace.Smoke
while true do
wait (10)
smoke.Opacity = 0.5
wait (5)
smoke.Opacity = 0
wait(5)
end
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? Here's my script:
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.
local smoke = script.Parent
while wait(10) do
smoke.Opacity = 0.5
print(smoke.Opacity) -- like rabbi99 said, print opacity to see if it works
wait(5)
smoke.Opacity = 0
wait(5)
print(smoke.Opacity)
end
if that doesn't work, make sure the smoke actually does exist, remember roblox lua is case sensitive
When I click play in the output it says "Workspace.Part.Smoke.Script:9: Expected 'end' (to close 'do' at line 3),got
yes put an end sorry
huh, it worked for like 30 seconds but then it says in the output "Infinite yield possible on 'Workspace:WaitForChild("Smoke") and instead of red it's orange
yeah put FindFirstAncestor
okay
now it's saying Workspace.Part.Smoke.Script:4:
?
now it's saying Workspace.Part.Smoke.Script:4: attempt to index nil with 'Opacity'. I'm sorry if this is frustrating you D;
alright, if all of this hasnt worked, imma edit my answer rq
ok there
YAY TYSM :D

Maybe it is changing but you're not noticing it. Try using print(smoke.Opacity) to check if it really works or not.
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.
when you say workspace.Parent your referring to the parent of the workspace, which is the game, or, datamodel
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.
ok ive edited my answer
i wish i could downvote this
