Decreasing Transparency Over Time.. Why wont this code work?
I am trying to make a Part become completely transparent, over the course of 60 seconds. Wait 7 seconds, and then repeat continuously. Here's what I've Tried:
1) Insert NumberValue into Part (Value =0)
2) Inserted Script into part:
local transparency = script.Parent.Transparency
while true do
script.Parent.Transparency = transparency.Value
for i = 1,transparency.Value do
wait(1)
transparency.Value = transparency.Value + 0.01666666 --i/60
script.Parent.Transparency = transparency.Value
end
wait (7)
transparency.Value = 0
end
While testing the game, the part does not become more transparent.
Here's an error code that show up: Workspace.Part.Transparency Script:3: attempt to index local 'transparency' (a number value)
I'm new to scripting and would really appreciate some help/feedback. Thank you!

You're making it more complicated than it has to be. Just do this instead:
while true do
for i = (1/60), 1, (1/60) do
wait(1)
script.Parent.Transparency = i
end
script.Parent.Transparency = 1 --This is to ensure that the transparency gets set equal to 1.
wait(7)
script.Parent.Transparency = 0
end
--[[
i = (1/60) is that starting value, 1 is the ending value, and 1/60 is how much is added to the previous value.
I basically set the transparency of the part equal to the variable i. That's all you had to do.

your scipt sets a variable AS the transparency it's only changing your variable.
local tparency = script.Parent tparency.Transparency = 1 --THIS WORKS local tparency2 = script.Parent.Transparency tparency2 = .5 -- This changes the variable
also why are you trying to change a nonexisting value you cant have a number in a number ;(transparency.Value does not work) instead do transparency = (number0
0
