Trying to change the transparency of a brick every 120 seconds?
I have the part were the transparency changes but I haven't scripted in a while and so I don't know what to do next..
01 | local function Close(Blib1) |
02 | Blib1.Transparency = .2 |
03 | wait(2) |
04 | Blib1.Transparency = .6 |
05 | wait(2) |
06 | Blib1.Transparency = .8 |
07 | wait(2) |
08 | Blib1.Transparency = 1 |
09 |
10 | end |
11 |
12 |
13 | local function Open(Blib1) |
14 | Blib1.Transparency = .8 |
15 | wait(2) |

There are many ways to achieve this, but I will highlight only the most efficient way.
Firstly, you could implement a while loop with wait(20) to improve the efficiency of the code.
1 | while wait(120) do |
2 | end; |
Next, we can use a boolean to store the status of the door.
1 | local open = true; |
2 | while wait(120) do |
3 | open = not(open); |
4 | end; |
Now, we will use the and / or operators to determine which function to run.
1 | local open = true; |
2 | while wait(120) do |
3 | open = not(open); |
4 | local run = (open) and Open or Close; |
5 | run(workspace.Part); -- chance to what Blib1 should be. |
6 | end; |
NOTE: This was written for use with your current functions.

Use a while loop to continuously loop it:
1 | while true do |
2 | wait(120) |
3 | end |
While Loop Composition:
1 | while (argument) do |
2 | wait(WaitTime) |
3 | end |
Perhaps use a for loop to script more efficiently in place of your functions :
1 | for i = 1, 5 do |
2 | script.Parent.Transparency = script.Parent.Transparency + .2 |
3 | wait(2) |
4 | end |
5 | wait(2) |
6 | for i = 1, 5 do |
7 | script.Parent.Transparency = script.Parent.Transparency - .2 |
8 | wait(2) |
9 | end |
For Loop Composition:
1 | for (variable) = (start number), (end number), (increment (default = 1)) do |
2 | wait(WaitTime) |
3 | end |
