Basically, I was toying with some transparency scripts and wanted to try doing a transparency fading script. This was my attempt:
if script.Parent.Transparency < 1 then
script.Parent.Transparency = script.Parent.Transparency + 0.1
else
script.Parent.Transparency = 0
end
For whatever reason, it's not working. I'm not getting errors or anything in the output. Can anybody explain or correct my script?
##Problem
You're not looping through the if statement. Therefore, it will only run once on execution.
##Solution
Put the code in a while loop. In fact, you could just place the logic in the while loop as well. while (condition(s) (is/are) true) do. This way you don't even need the while loop.
##Final Script
while wait() and script.Parent.Transparency < 1 do --While waiting 1/30 of a second on top of the Transparency still being less than 1, continue with the loop.
script.Parent.Transparency = script.Parent.Transparency + .1 --Add .1 to Transparency and set that as the new transparency.
end
As a reminder, Gui elements should be handled by LocalScripts.

Why not just have the Transparency part in the while loop's arguments, and put the wait on this inside? ;P
This is shorter
Because wait will always be true, it's just the matter of Transparency being true with the "and" operator. Now, if you had a thousand conditions, then I would recommend breaking it up. However in this scenario, it works.
