Light not blinking?

Asked by

So I'm new to scripting and I tried to do a script but it unfortunately did not work. Here is what I did:

local part = game.Workspace.Camera1.Light

while true do 
    part.transparency = .5
    wait(1)
    part.transpareny = 1
    wait(1)
end

So I wanted the part to change transparency every second but this script does not seem to work. Nothing shows anything wrong in the output. What did I do wrong? The script is under the Game.Workspace.Camera1.Light.Script

Another Question: Can I also change the brightness of the light every second along with the transparency? Thank you :)

Just pointing out that "local" is not necessary outside of a function, the problem is that "Transparence" requires a capital "T" BSIncorporated 640 — 9y

First of all you had "part.transparency = .5" The t Need's to be capital.

2nd Of all you had "part.transpareny = 1

Tell me if that worked for you.

PointLights still shine reguardless of the transparency of the part. You need to set PointLight.Enabled to either true or false, or you could set PointLight.Range.

local part = game.Workspace.Camera1.Light

while true do 
    part.Range = 8
    wait(1)
    part.Range = 0
    wait(1)
end

Oh okay cool, so if I were to make this script under the Transparency one, would it still stay in sync with it? AmVolt 60 — 9y
