How do you fade a group of bricks in and out using a loop?

Asked by

I want to fade in/out a group of bricks using a button (preferably using something like a loop). This is the script I have right now without the fade (basically turning it on):

model = game.Workspace.LIGHTS

function start ()
for _,v in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
v.Transparency = .9
v.SpotLight.Enabled = true
v.PointLight.Enabled = true
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(start)

What I want to do is to have the Transparency and spotlight fade in using a loop. I know I could use this and it would basically do what I want:

model = game.Workspace.LIGHTS

function start ()
for _,v in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
v.Transparency = .99
v.SpotLight.Enabled = true
v.PointLight.Enabled = true
wait(.001)
v.Transparency = .98
wait (.001)
v.Transparency = .97
wait (.001)
v.Transparency = .96
wait (.001)
v.Transparency = .95
v.SpotLight.Brightness = .5
wait (.001)
v.Transparency = .94
wait (.001)
v.Transparency = .93
wait (.001)
v.Transparency = .92
wait (.001)
v.Transparency = .91
wait (.001)
v.Transparency = .9
v.SpotLight.Brightness = 100
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(start)

The only problem with that is 1) Its a mouthful of lines 2) When it activates, it does one part of the model at the time while what I want is everything to work in sync.

If you don't understand the problem and need more clarification, let me know. Thanks!

We can use a loop to slowly increment it.

local Down = true
while wait(0.01) do -- Dont want to kill roblox with this loop ok?
    if Down then -- if we are going down
        Part.Transparney = Part.Transparency - 0.01
    else -- if we are going up
        Part.Transparency = Part.Transparency + 0.01
    end
    if Part.Transparency == 0 then -- tell script to go up
        Down = false
    elseif Part.Transparency == 1 then -- tell script to go down
        Down = true
    end
    if Part.Transparency = 0.5
        Spotlight.[NameOfPropertyHere] = 0.5 -- if you want to change every so often, or add it as part of the loop if you want it to change with.
    end
end

And decrease your memory and time of your program! Also, to even decrease even more your memory and time, use for loops! Woo hoo! hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

The question literally asked for a loop. Got any better idea to not use a loop even though he asked for a loop? H4X0MSYT 536 — 6y
