For loop is not looping? How to loop until goal achieved
The goal of this script is to continuously run in a loop, always hitting the "else" statement until it eventually turns "Visible" and then it would end the loop.
Clearly that's not whats happening! Currently when running it does print "Invisible" once then stops, meaning its not looping. I believe my error lies in the "until found" line, but I'm unsure of how to run this the correct way.
For backstory this is a tycoon and i need this to activate once an object is purchased and moved into the referenced location with referenced name.
local found = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.PurchasedObjects:FindFirstChild("FirstFloorStairs")
if found then
print("Visible")
script.Parent.Transparency = .5
else
print("Invisible")
script.Parent.Transparency = 1
repeat
until found
end
Any pointers or help is much appreciated, I'm very new to the scene :).
EDIT
local list = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.PurchasedObjects:GetChildren() -- get the list of items in a loop
for _, v in pairs(list) do
if v.Name == "FirstFloorStairs" then
script.Parent.Transparency = .5 -- visible!!
print("Visible")
end
end
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService") --tween service
local list = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.PurchasedObjects:GetChildren() --just a list
local tinfo = TweenInfo.new(
0.7,--time it takes to tween
Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,--the easing style(mainly for looks)
Enum.EasingDirection.Out,--again for aestetics
0,--times it repeats
false,--whether it reverses
0-- delay between repeats
)--tween info
local properties = {Transparency = .5}
for _, v in pairs(list) do
if v.Name == "FirstFloorStairs" then -- if the item is a part
script.Parent.Transparency = 1 -- make the blocks invsible
local tween = ts:Create(script.Parent,tinfo,properties)--creates a tween
tween:Play()
end
end -- create a loop

So basically you want a fading block, and when the fading ends it should stop the loop? EASY!!!
So I am assuming you wanna make everything in a model transparent then change the transparency to + .01
change list to your model, don't remove GetChildren()
local list = script.Parent:GetChildren() -- get the list of items in a loop
local counter -- just set up a little counter
for _, v in pairs(list) do
if v.ClassName = "Part" then -- if the item is a part then...
v.Transparency = 1 -- invisible!!
-- now for the visibility code!!
counter = 100
repeat wait(.001)
counter = counter - 1
v.Transparency = v.Transparency - 0.01
until counter < 1
end
end -- create a loop
This code above does the fading effects, I havent tested it in studio but, this should probably work!
If you want another part to exist and then make another part appear??? then do this: EVEN EASIER XDDD
local part_To_Exist = workspace:WaitForChild("Item") -- use wait for child to wait until that item exists!!
local part_to_change = script.Parent -- change the transparency of the part that is suppose to already exist
repeat wait() until part_To_Exist
part_to_change.Transparency = 0
the transparency of the part changes when the exist part is created!!
Tell me if you are using a model!

Yes, I think greatneil80's solution works, but I think it is a bit more practical to tween the transparency of the parts
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService") --tween service
local list = script.Parent:GetChildren() --just a list
local tinfo = TweenInfo.new(
0.7,--time it takes to tween
Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,--the easing style(mainly for looks)
Enum.EasingDirection.Out,--again for aestetics
0,--times it repeats
false,--whether it reverses
0-- delay between repeats
)--tween info
local properties = {Transparency = 1}
for _, v in pairs(list) do
if v.ClassName = "Part" then -- if the item is a part
v.Transparency = 0 -- make the blocks invsible
local tween = ts:Create(v,tinfo,properties)--creates a tween
tween:Play()
end
end -- create a loop
That is the general basics on how to use tweens, you can play around a bit with the easing styles, the easing directions, and other aspects of the tween info and part properties
