Pretty simple question: How do I make the Parent of this script (Which is a transparent Part) turn opaque with steps of 0.1 and a speed of 0.1 seconds.
for i=1,0, -0.1 do
script.Parent.Transparency = (i)
end

Your script works fine, the only problem is you aren't waiting! ROBLOX has this nice function named wait which halts the script for the amount of seconds input into the function. This is useful for pauses of all kinds, including the one you want!
for i=1,0, -0.1 do
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.Transparency = i
end
for i=1, 10 do
wait(.1)
script.Parent.Transparency = script.Parent.Transparency + 0.1
end
This will add 10% transparency to the part every 1/10th of a second
Simple:
for i=1,0, -0.1 do
script.Parent.Transparency = (i)
wait(.1)
end
Or if you mean .1 seconds for the whole thing:
for i=1,0, -0.1 do
script.Parent.Transparency = (i)
wait(0.01)
end

Wasn't aware that the wait() was needed over there, thanks! Now that I'm looking at the loop a bit better I feel stupid.
You can calculate the time needed to wait like this. I included nice variables so you can change it up easily.
local speed = 0.1 --Time in seconds
local stepsize = 0.1 --Step size
for i = 1, 0, -1*stepsize do
script.Parent.Transparency = i
wait(speed*stepsize)
end
If you want a function, here you go:
function animateTransparency(part, seconds, stepsize, endTransparency)
while part.Transparency != endTransparency do
if part.Transparency < endTransparency then
if part.Transparency + stepsize > endTransparency then
part.Transparency = endTransparency
else
part.Transparency = part.Transparency + stepsize
end
else
if part.Transparency - stepsize < endTransparency then
part.Transparency = endTransparency
else
part.Transparency = part.Transparency - stepsize
end
end
wait(seconds*stepsize)
end
end
--And usage example:
animateTransparency(script.Parent, 0.1, 0.1, 0)

Note that because this will loop 10 times, it will result in a total time of 1 second.
How do I make it so the loop only runs until the Parent is opaque? So it won't turn transparent again, that is.
Use a while loop instead of a for loop. Set the condition to a check to see whether or not the part has reached its desired transparency.
