functions to gradually increase/decrease transparency of a textlabel:
function appear(label)
print("appear function called")
for i = 1, 0, -.1 do
label.TextTransparency = i
label.TextStrokeTransparency = i
wait()
end
end
function disappear(label)
print("disappear function called")
for i = 0, 1, .1 do
label.TextTransparency = i
label.TextStrokeTransparency = i
wait()
end
end

there are "end"s, just later in the script

Try 'if db < 1 then'
Or just simply use Bools.
Same result
Try changing the variable from db = 0 to local db = 0
Local variables are used so the variable is only used in a certain function that it can only be seen from that function. Putting local on db would do noting since it would just means that it can be used in the whole script which is the same regardless without 'local'.
The "if" function won't work if the "elseif" is false?
