Is it possible to make a for i loop for particle transparency?
For some reason the transparency doesn't transition.
1 | for i = 0,1,.05 do |
2 | Particle.Transparency = NumberSequence.new(i) |
3 | wait() |
4 | end |

Problems
Your script adds up by .05 really fast, and stops at 1. This will make the transparency seem instant as the loop only has to add up 2 times in like half or less a second.
Although I don’t know NumberSequence that much, I really don’t think it’s necessary for something like this.
Solutions
Make the third value in the for loop a small value (Ex: .01) or just make the wait a bit longer. You could do both.
Simply change “NumberSequence.new(i)” into “i”.
This is what it should look like :
1 | for i = 0,1,.01 do |
2 | Particle.Transparency = i |
3 | wait() |
4 | end |
If you want to adjust how fast or slow the loop goes, simply just mess around with the third value in the loop and the wait value.

NumberSequence is how it works for particles. DeathGunner132 120 — 7y

^ Haven’t tested it, but I checked the wiki and it said Transparency was a NumberSequence value, so I guess you can use that if it works. User#20279 0 — 7y

Why not just do this?
1 | for i = 1, 10 do |
2 | Particle.Transparency = Particle.Transparency + 0.1 |
3 | wait(0.1) -- Or 0.01 for even smoother..? |
4 | end |
5 | -- "+" to make it more transparent |
6 | -- "-" to make it more visible |

Yes but because there is no number inbetween wait() This will seem instant. Timmerman73 85 — 7y

I've tried that before. It doesn't work. DeathGunner132 120 — 7y

But what about just adding 0.1 between the ()? Or for even smoother 0.01? Nep_Ryker 131 — 7y
