I'm trying to make a part's decal appear every certain amount of seconds?
I'm trying to make it so a decal's transparency changes to 0 every 2 minutes, how do I do this?

Assume script.Parent is where the decal resides in, Decal have a property called Transparency so fairly simple.
To create a endless loop you must use "while true do".
1 | decal = script.Parent.Decal -- refers and sets a variable for the Decal, the decal will be named Decal of course. |
2 |
3 | while true do |
4 | wait(120) -- 2 minute wait |
5 | script.Parent.Decal.Transparency = 0 |
6 | end |
This is what you specified, but if you want it to always fade and come back again endlessly, where it becomes fully visible in a 2 minute wait this is a proper script:
1 | decal = script.Parent.Decal |
2 |
3 | while true do |
4 | for i = 1, 0, -0.00833333333 do |
5 | decal.Transparency = i |
6 | end |
7 | end |
But if not that then you just want a regular script that instantly turns decal invisible and visible once again then this is the script:
1 | decal = script.Parent.Decal |
2 |
3 | while true do |
4 | script.Parent.Decal.Transparency = 1 |
5 | wait(120) |
6 | script.Parent.Decal.Transparency = 0 |
7 | end |

Also note, that if you are doing "while true do" loops in the future, they must have a wait() otherwise they crash since it would infinitely run the script at once. User#18043 95 — 7y
