So, I found this script and i want to use it to make it so that when you click a part, your screen fades to black and then fades out:

local debounce = false
local faded = false

game.ReplicatedStorage.FadeGui.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    if debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        if faded == false then
            faded = true
            for i = 0, 1, 0.05 do
                script.Parent:WaitForChild(THE GUI OBJECT YOU WANNA FADE).BackgroundTransparency = i
                wait(.05)
            end
            return -- returning to the beginning of the function to not run the following lines, after setting "faded" to true
          else
            faded = false
            for i = 1, 0, -0.05 do
                script.Parent:WaitForChild(THE GUI OBJECT YOU WANNA FADE).BackgroundTransparency = i
            wait(.05)
        end
        debounce = false
    end
end)

the thing is that i don't know what a Gui Object is, could anyone tell me?

Hi,

it really seems that you need to familiarise yourself with the explorer tab. If you dont have it open, go to the top, select view ** and select **explorer.

Now to find out what a GUI object is.

  • In the explorer, you will find a lot of (lets call it folders) and one of them is called Starter GUI

  • hover over to Starter GUI and click on the + (plus) button next to it.

  • Now you will see a drop - down menu.

  • From the dropdown menu, select Screen GUI - this is what allows GUIs to be displayed

  • Next, hover over to Screen GUI and select the + icon

  • from the dropdown menu, select a frame - you will see a white square somewhere on your screen now -> the frame is the GUI object

  • now, its pretty simple, rescale your frame to cover up the screen

  • Now if you want to customise your frame go to view -> properties and you can change colour etc.

  • now on the script write the name of your GUI object - the frame (it should be called "Frame")

REMEMBER THE SCRIPT IS CASE-SENSITIVE SO WRITE - Frame

Ask me if you have any questions

Heres the script after youve made the gui

local debounce = false
local faded = false

game.ReplicatedStorage.FadeGui.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    if debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        if faded == false then
            faded = true
            for i = 0, 1, 0.05 do
                script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame").BackgroundTransparency = i
                wait(.05)
            end
            return -- returning to the beginning of the function to not run the following lines, after setting "faded" to true
          else
            faded = false
            for i = 1, 0, -0.05 do
                script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame").BackgroundTransparency = i
            wait(.05)
        end
        debounce = false
    end
end)

also put this script inside screen gui

Oh god, I'm so dumb, i actually forgot about the "" in that line, i thought that it could've been the frame, and i wrote the name of the Frame without the "" thinking that i was wrong. That's embarassing lol. Thank you. hellmet1 42 — 2y
