How to efficiently fade out a ScreenGui without accessing direct elements?

Asked by

Hi all, I was wondering a method to effectively fade out a ScreenGui and destroy it completely without accessing each item individually. This includes elements such as TextLabels, ImageLabels, Frames, etc. Here is my current code:

local function FadeGui(ScreenGui)
    spawn(function()
        local Transparency = 0

        for i = 0, 1, 0.01 do
            Transparency = i

            ScreenGui.Backdrop.ImageTransparency = Transparency
            ScreenGui.Backdrop.CloseButton.ImageTransparency = Transparency

            ScreenGui.LoadingFrame.DescriptionFrame.BackgroundTransparency = Transparency
            ScreenGui.LoadingFrame.DescriptionFrame.GameDescriptionFrame.CreatorLabel.TextTransparency = Transparency
            ScreenGui.LoadingFrame.DescriptionFrame.GameDescriptionFrame.GameLabel.TextTransparency = Transparency

            ScreenGui.LoadingFrame.ThumbnailFrame.BackgroundTransparency = Transparency
            ScreenGui.LoadingFrame.ThumbnailFrame.Thumbnail.ImageTransparency = Transparency

            wait(0.1)
        end
    end)
end

FadeOut(script.Parent)

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Use tables, Use GetChildren() function to the screengui and use it in a for i, v loop (use spawn function if needed) yuni_Boy1234 320 — 4y

I haven't made the even that triggers this script, you will have to do that, but i think this script can help you fishboy141516 12 — 4y

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer or game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait() local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() local frame = script.Parent.Frame local title = GUINAME for i = 1, 0.5, -0.1 do GUIHERE.BackgroundTransparency = i title.Transparency = i wait(0.1) end fishboy141516 12 — 4y

You cannot fade a ScreenGUI itself as there is a lack of properties, but if you put all of the contents inside of a frame; which could be a holder frame that scales the whole screen, you can just fade that out and it would work fine and give you the result that you are (hopefully) looking for.

Use TweenService for fading and iterate through all descendants. spawn is not needed when using TweenService.

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Style = TweenInfo.new(10,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear) --10 seconds

local function FadeGui(ScreenGui)

    for _, element in pairs(ScreenGui:GetDescendants())  do

            if element:IsA("ImageLabel") then
                local tween = TweenService:Create(element,Style,{ImageTransparency = 1, BackgroundTransparency = 1})
                tween:Play()
            end
            if element:IsA("ImageButton") then
                local tween = TweenService:Create(element,Style,{ImageTransparency = 1, BackgroundTransparency = 1})
                tween:Play()
            end
            if element:IsA("TextLabel") then
                local tween = TweenService:Create(element,Style,{BackgroundTransparency = 1, TextTransparency = 1})
                tween:Play()
            end
            --add more lines if you need to.
        --add more lines if you need to.
    end

end

FadeOut(script.Parent)

Edit: Changed FindFirstChild that would not work, to :IsA.
