How to make a brick shrink, grow, and go transparent over time?
Talking about making things such as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf3pZZDlG2w&index=35&list=WL
He is currently my friend, and he said he learned Lua in a matter of three days. I haven't asked to see the script, and I am afraid he'll decline, and assume I'm just trying to steal it. I want to know how to make:
The brick with the particle emitter
The sphere gradually shrink, and grow.
The sphere change in transparency
And just all around, figure out how to mash it all up into a delicious cake of scripting goodness.

The brick with the ParticleEmitter: This is quite simple really. All you need to do to create a ParticleEmitter is insert a ParticleEmitter object in a part. After that, it's just playing around with the properties to find what you want.
Making the sphere grow and shrink: Again, extremely simple. To do this, you'd use a loop. There are three kinds, for, while, and repeat. The one that you should probably use is for, because you can loop it for a certain amount of time. To get a sphere to shrink and grow, we'd do something like this:
for i = 1, 10 do
sphere.Size = sphere.Size + Vector3.new(1, 1, 1)
wait()
end
for i = 1, 10 do
sphere.Size = sphere.Size - Vector3.new(1, 1, 1)
end
- Making the sphere change in transparency: This is basically the exact same thing as making a block grow, you'd use a loop. Whenever you want to show a gradual change in something without repeating your code, loop.
for i = 1, 5 do
sphere.Transparency = sphere.Transparency + 0.1
wait()
end
for i = 1, 5 do
sphere.Transparency = sphere.Transparency - 0.1
end
