How do I fix this?
I have a game where you have to type words (just started today) and I want to make sure people type the word in order. I have them on separate TextLabels, and when they type the letter, it turns red So the first word is Type. (Note is some text on the screen saying to type them in order) Before they press t it is fine, but then after that or after you press y you can type e and p any way you want. Here is the code for one of the letters:
if key == "p" then
p.TextColor3 = Color3.new(235, 0, 0)
if t.TextColor3 ~= Color3.new(235, 0, 0) then
if y.TextColor3 ~= Color3.new(235, 0, 0) then
p.TextColor3 = y.TextColor3
for i = 1,10 do
wait(0.1)
Note.TextTransparency = Note.TextTransparency - 0.1
end
wait(1)
for i = 1,10 do
wait(0.1)
Note.TextTransparency = Note.TextTransparency + 0.1
end
end
end
end
I tried many other things too!

I don't know what Gui you're talking about, But i hope you figure it out.
(Note: Color3.new arguments should be between 0 and 1. If you have a number between 0 and 255, simply divide by 255; so, you should use this: Color3.new(235/255,0,0).)
You should consider what will happen if someone is typing faster than 1 character per 3 seconds -- your 'Note.TextTransparency" will start jumping all over the place as multiple coroutines attempt to modify it! You can either add Debounce, or stop running the loops if a new button is pressed.
Are you intending to hand craft each word (ie have a separate variable for each letter of each word)? That's a lot of work! You can save yourself a lot of time (at least in the long run) by learning how to use classes (or at least tables), letting you use the same code for all letters. You could then iterate over the current word (whatever that might be) and create a letter Gui for each one. Keep track of where they are in the word with a variable and you could make sure that they type each letter in order (if that's what you want; I can't quite tell).
