For one of my games I'm trying to make text appear then disappear after around 6/7 seconds The code doesn't seem to be working (probably because I don't have much coding knowledge)

Any ideas?

code:

view source
01`local Players = game:GetService("Players")
02 
03Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
04    player:LoadCharacter()
05 
06    if Players.PlayerAdded then
07        script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 1
08        wait(0.001)
09        script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0.9
10        wait(0.001)
11        script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0.8
12        wait(0.001)
13        script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0.7
14        wait(0.001)
15        script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0.6

What in the world is

view source
1if Players.PlayerAdded then

You don't have to have that line there, if you want to check if the player exists then do it like this:

view source
1if player then

Also instead of this big mess changing the transparency you should use for loops. So in your case:

view source
1for transparency = 1, 0, -0.1 do
2    script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = transparency
3    wait(0.001)
4end

Also by using wait(0.001) i don't know if you modified the studio settings but if you haven't then the lowest value that can be put into wait is by default 0.03 so if i'm sure using 0.001 is same as using 0 or 0.02 or any number lower than the default.

You can put the code in a Localscript instead of a script

view source
01wait(5) --Replace the value with how long it takes to load into game
02    script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 1
03    wait(0.001)
04    script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0.9
05    wait(0.001)
06    script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0.8
07    wait(0.001)
08    script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0.7
09    wait(0.001)
10    script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0.6
11    wait(0.001)
12    script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0.5
13    wait(0.001)
14    script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0.4
15    wait(0.001)

I am too kind of new to scripting so I am not sure if this would work Maybe even make a variable for the textlabel
