Tiny bit of halp with for loop plz? (Apologies, don't know what else to say 4 title)
So uhh
I haz a localscript
And I haz a loading screen that I is trying to haz
And I haz sum variables here
local LocalPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local LoaderGui = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("LoadingScreen")
local Frame = LoaderGui.Frame or LoaderGui:WaitForChild("Frame")
local Text = Frame.TextLabel or Frame:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
LoaderGui.Enabled = true
LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0
wait()
local character = LocalPlayer.Character
local humroot = character.HumanoidRootPart
And I haz a for loop
for i=0,1,0.025 do
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = i
Text.TextTransparency = i
Text.TextStrokeTransparency = (i * 0.5) -- I want haz this to be fixe! :P
wait(0.025)
end
And I want the TextStrokeTransparency to start off at 0.5 and go at half speed of the rest of the stuff without putting it into a different loop.
Full script here in case u need haz infomation
-- In a LocalScript, in a FilteringEnabled game, in StarterCharacterScripts
local LocalPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local LoaderGui = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("LoadingScreen")
local Frame = LoaderGui.Frame or LoaderGui:WaitForChild("Frame")
local Text = Frame.TextLabel or Frame:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
LoaderGui.Enabled = true
LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0
wait()
local character = LocalPlayer.Character
local humroot = character.HumanoidRootPart
local platform = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
-- set up properties of the platform
platform.Transparency = 0.7
platform.Material = "Glass"
platform.Size = Vector3.new(5, 1, 5)
platform.Anchored = true
platform.CustomPhysicalProperties = PhysicalProperties.new(5, 2, 0.5, 5, 0.5)
platform.Parent = game.Workspace
platform.Size = Vector3.new(5, 1, 5); platform.Material = "Glass"; platform.Anchored = true; platform.Transparency = 0.4
platform.Name = "Platform"
local positionCo = coroutine.create(function()
while true do
platform.Position = Vector3.new(humroot.Position.X, -0.501, humroot.Position.Z)
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Wait()
end
end)
coroutine.resume(positionCo)
wait(0.1)
Text.Text = "Loading done!"
wait(1)
for i=0,1,0.025 do
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = i
Text.TextTransparency = i
Text.TextStrokeTransparency = (i * 0.5)
wait(0.025)
end
character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = game:GetService("StarterPlayer").StarterHumanoid.WalkSpeed
character.Humanoid.JumpPower = game:GetService("StarterPlayer").StarterHumanoid.JumpPower
LoaderGui.Enabled = false

Hi! I'm BlackOrange
Ok, so one way to NOT have making another loop is simply throwing in a if statement. Check when i = 0.5 or higher, since your going up by 0.25 or 0.025 (I forgot), It definitely will hit 0.5 eventually. So:
for i=0,1,0.025 do
wait(0.025)
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = i
Text.TextTransparency = i
if i == 0.5 then
Text.TextStrokeTransparency = (i * 0.5) -- I want haz this to be fixe! :P
end
end
BUT WAIT! Can we make this better? Yes! By using > / <
for i=0,1,0.025 do
wait(0.025)
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = i
Text.TextTransparency = i
if i >= 0.5 then
Text.TextStrokeTransparency = (i * 0.5) -- I want haz this to be fixe! :P
end
end
NANI?! It now only increases TextStrokeTransparency, simple fix! Copy paste what you had... and...
for i=0,1,0.025 do
wait(0.025)
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = i
Text.TextTransparency = i
if i >= 0.5 then
Text.TextStrokeTransparency = (i * 0.5) -- I want haz this to be fixe! :P
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = i
Text.TextTransparency = i
end
end
I'm not gonna do what you said about halfspeed because I don't get what you mean xD.
So! Hopefully this gave you an idea!
Best of luck!

Ok so you want the TextStrokeTransparency to go away too, but just half its size. Here is the thing!
When you multiply a number by 0.5, for example, let i = 0,1,0.025 (Basically your script).
Now the i will only be half transparent due to the fact your multiplying it by 0.5. You are dividing the final (1) by 2. So the text is only transparent by 0.5. There is somewhat an easy fix for beginner scripters which is listed below.
Im gonna try to help. Here is what I came up with: (Read comments to know whats goin on)
for i=0,1,0.025 do
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = i
Text.TextTransparency = i
wait(0.025)
end
-- Then just make another for loop.
for i=0,2,0.025 do
Text.TextStrokeTransparency = (i * 0.5)
wait(0.025)
end
The reason why there are 2 for loops is because the first loop will go by super easily. That way the next for loop will start almost instantly after. Here is the thing, for = i 0,2,0.25. Notice how its 2 now. This is because once you multiply the i by 0.5, your basically dividing, making 1, actually 0.5.
