https://turtl.cloud/zbRcxhKX9n.mp4 I saw this a lot of times but didn't know how to make it
How do I make this button glow effect?

It's not glowing, it's actually changing its own color to a bright one.
You can start with linear interpolation or TweenService.
1.Lerp
Choosing this one results in manufacturing a method called ColorLerp.
local button
local runningId = 0
local speed = 100
local heartbeat = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat
local function ColorLerp(c)
runningId = (runningId+1)0000
local now = runningId--Sign up a new ID for this called function
local start = button.BackgroundColor3
for alpha=0,1,0.001*math.clamp(speed,1,1000) do
if runningId ~= now then return nil end--A new function has been fired, interrupt it
local now = start:lerp(c,alpha)
button.BackgroundColor3 = now
heartbeat:Wait()
end
end
Ohh! There are SO MANY THINGS to explain!
local button--Your button
Let's look at the runningId
local runningId = 0
--...--
runningId = (runningId+1)0000
Basically, we use running id to register our called function.
if runningId ~= now then return nil end
It means that if there is a newer function being called while the loop is running, stop the function via returning a nil value.
So what is lerp???
Oh! Let's look at a simple example:
local alpha = 0.5
local val = Color3.new(0,0,0):lerp(Color3.new(1,1,1),0.5)
print(tostring(val))
--Results: 0.5,0.5,0.5
The alpha is actually the percentage of the start(0,0,0) to the end(1,1,1).
2. Tweening
Tweening is easier! I don't really need to... explain. HUH.
local button
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local lastTween = nil
local function ColorTween(c,second)
if lastTween then
lastTween:Cancel()--Stop the last tween, similar to the runningId
end
local establishedInfo = TweenInfo.new(second)--Add some styles and directions...
local createdTween = ts:Create(button,establishedInfo,{BackgroundColor3 = c})
lastTween = createdTween
createdTween:Play()
end
The code block
if lastTween then
lastTween:Cancel()
end
Does the same thing as the
if runningId ~= now then return nil end

I am not a really um.. experienced coder so um, yeah um can you make it more simplified? x d
