How do I get this loop to work?

Asked May 31, 201540 views2 answers

Hello, I wanted to make it so that the baseplate would appear with a slight delay, I have tried this:

parent = game.workspace.Baseplate


parent.Transparency = -0.001
wait (0.01)
repeat until parent.Transparency == 0

But this crashed the studio, but when I tried this:

parent = game.workspace.Baseplate


parent.Transparency = -0.001
wait (0.01)
repeat until parent.Transparency < 0.001

That does it instantaneously.

How do I do this with a delay between each decrease in the transparency, and have it stop when the block is solid?

Thank You In Advance.

You had the right idea, you just ordered your code incorrectly.

local parent = workspace.Baseplate

repeat --Repeat starts the loop
parent.Transparency = -0.001
wait (0.01)
until parent.Transparency == 0 -- until closes the loop with a conditional

Is it possible to delay how fast it decreases? Because when I put it in studio, it becomes completely visible instantly. But still, Thank you for the answer.

parent = game.Workspace.BasePlate

while true do
    if parent.Transparency == 0 then
        script.Disabled = true
    else
    	parent.Transparency = parent.Transparency - 1
	end
end

Tell me if this doesn't work :)

The else at line 7 has a problem with the do at line 3. But thank you for the answer.
