Make all parts in a model transparent at once instead of one at a time?

My script how it currently is:

-- "Fade" is the brick that triggers the transparency when stepped on.
-- "Robloxian" is the model.
local invis = true

game.Workspace.Fade.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if not invis then return end
	if not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end
	invis = false
	for k2,v2 in pairs(game.Workspace.Robloxian:GetDescendants()) do
		if v2:IsA("BasePart") then
			v2.Transparency = 0.2
			wait()
			v2.Transparency = 0.4
			wait()
			v2.Transparency = 0.6
			wait()
			v2.Transparency = 0.8
			wait()
			v2.Transparency = 1
		end
	end
end)

How do you make the decals transparent as well? I've always had issues with decals and transparency.

sorry about that, I added a wait in the correct spot and my script should now work

i edited cmgtotalyawesome's script a bit, it should be working

local invis = true
local parts = {}
workspace.Fade.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if not invis then return end
	if not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end
	invis = false
	for k2,v2 in pairs(game.Workspace.Robloxian:GetDescendants()) do
		if v2:IsA("BasePart") or v2:IsA("Decal") and v2.Transparency ~= 1 then
			table.insert(parts, v2)
		end
	end
	
	for i = 1, 5 do
		wait(0.2)
		for x = 1, #parts do
			parts[x].Transparency = 0.2 * i
		end		
	end
end)

Works perfectly, thank you!

I do have a question though, how would I make the transparency start at 0.5? Because let's say the model is already half transparent, and if I step on the brick it becomes fully visible for a moment before becoming completely transparent.

change the 0.2 * i to 0.5 + 0.1 * i, it should work

What I would do to accomplish this is add every basepart and decal to a table and then run a loop like so:

-- "Fade" is the brick that triggers the transparency when stepped on.
-- "Robloxian" is the model.
local invis = true
local parts = {}

game.Workspace.Fade.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if not invis then return end
    if not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end
    invis = false
    for k2,v2 in pairs(game.Workspace.Robloxian:GetDescendants()) do
        if v2:IsA("BasePart") or v2:IsA("Decal") then
            table.insert(parts, #parts + 1)
        end
    end

    for i = 1, 5 do
	wait(--[[however long you wanna wait]])
        for x = 1, #parts do
            parts[x].Transparency = .2 * i
        end
    end
end)

I'm not sure if this will work as I don't really have access to studio right now, however if it does error leave the error as a comment and I'll fix it as soon as I can.

The script works, but the model becomes fully transparent instantly. I'm trying to get it to gradually become transparent.

add a wait after the "parts[x].Transparency"

Did that, but that only makes the parts disappear one at a time instead of all at once. The parts don't gradually turn transparent either, they immediately do.

game.Workspace.Fade.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if not invis then return end
    if not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end
    invis = false

            table.insert(parts, #parts + 1)
        end
    end

    for i = 1, 5 do
        for x = 1, #parts do
            parts[x].Transparency -= 0.1
	    wait(0.3)
	    parts[x].Transparency -= 0.1
	    	    wait(0.3)
	    parts[x].Transparency -= 0.1
	    	    wait(0.3)
	    parts[x].Transparency -= 0.1
	    	    wait(0.3)
	    parts[x].Transparency -= 0.1
	    	    wait(0.3)
	    parts[x].Transparency -= 0.1
	    	    wait(0.3)
	    parts[x].Transparency -= 0.1
	    	    wait(0.3)
	    parts[x].Transparency -= 0.1
	    	    wait(0.3)
	    parts[x].Transparency -= 0.1
	    	    wait(0.3)
	    parts[x].Transparency -= 0.1
        end
    end
end)

I am not sure if this will work but you can try

close but you don't need all the wait(.3)s because he wants it to look like the whole model is changing at once. Just add a wait(.3) in the initial for loop and also change every "-=" to "+= because he wanted it to be visible and not transparent
