How do I fix this never ending transparency modification script?

if game.workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 0
	add 0.1                                                                         <- The part where it adds .1 to the 0
end 

if game.workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 1.0 then
	game.workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 0            
end

It is for some reason not working and output is claiming it's near the first =

if game.workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 0 add 0.1 <- The part where it adds .1 to the 0 end

if game.workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 1.0 then game.workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 0
end

How do I fix this.

while wait() do
if game.Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency < 1 then
    game.Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = game.Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency + .1
end 

if game.Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency == 1.0 then
    game.Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 0            
end
end
--Fixed script if you wanna skip explanation

That other answer didn't tell you anything.

Here is what was wrong

You were using game.workspace instead of game.Workspace Lua is case-sensitive so you have to have the correct name!

You were trying to execute Add (?) I assume you were trying to add to the transparency, so yeah.

You were also using = . to compare, you have to say '=='

You forgot the then after the first if statement, so there's that. You were also comparing to see if it was at 0, which if it was it would never fire any of the if statements.

So I set that to be while it's under 1 (last update it'll be .9(lower) + .1)

And finally, you forgot a loop. It'd check once and never fire again. If this doesn't work, please tell me.

Use == to compare things.

if game.workspace.Baseplate.Transparency == 1.0 then

Don't worry, I'm a beginner and I tried using conditional statement

if game.workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 0
    add 0.1                                                                         <- The part where it adds .1 to the 0
end 

if game.workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 1.0 then
    game.workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 0            
end

Wheeze...

Okay, let's start down with the basics.

-- || Services ||
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace") -- Always do that it's a good habit.

-- || Learn Conditional Statements ||
while wait() do
while Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency < 1 do
Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency + 0.1 -- You tried to call ADD when that doesn't exist. You -Could- make a function called add, but that's a waste of time. 
wait() end
while Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency => 1 do
Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency = 0
wait() end
end

-- Yes, I made this very sloppily intentionally.

Let's say you made a function called Add.

local function Add(Value, Number)
Value = Value + Number
end


while wait() do
while Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency < 1 do
Add(Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency, 0.1) -- There.
wait() end
while Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency => 1 do
Add(Workspace.Baseplate.Transparency, -1) -- There again. :P
wait() end
end

** Anyways, done being rude, time for an actual answer.**

Okay, so you need to understand something called Conditional Statements, you probably learned these in Mathematics. (Unless you sleep in that class. Cough)

Conditional States are as followed:

(Greater Than) < (Less Than) = (Equal To (In Math... In Programming it's for setting a value or something.)) >= (Greater Than or Equal To) <= (Less Than or Equal To) == (Equal To for If Than Statements.) ~= (Not Equal To)

You also don't know how to call the Math stuff in rbx.lua. Which is fine! Programming takes practice, lemme show you the symbols:

(+) is Adding

(-) is Subtracting

(*) is Multiplying

(/) is Dividing

(%) is Dividing with a Remainder (Basically)

If you have any other questions. Just let me know. :P
