What's a better way of doing this?

I find changing the transparency of a frame by doing this is not efficient at all.. I'm trying to create a fade effect but I heard there is something easier to do this with less lines of code.

And how would I do the same thing to multiple frames at once?

Example of bad code


Frame.Transparency = 0.1
wait(0.1)
Frame.Transparency = 0.2
wait(0.1)
Frame.Transparency = 0.3
wait(0.1)
Frame.Transparency = 0.4
wait(0.1)
Frame.Transparency = 0.5
wait(0.1)
Frame.Transparency = 0.6
wait(0.1)
Frame.Transparency = 0.7
wait(0.1)
Frame.Transparency = 0.8
wait(0.1)
Frame.Transparency = 0.9

In Lua, there are many different kind of loops, repeats, while, and for loops, and for this, the best choice would be a for loop. You also need to recognize where frame is from.. I'm thinking thats in StarterGui in a ScreenGui.

local frame = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame

for i = 1, 9, .1 do
    frame.Transparency = i
    wait()
end

And to do it for multiple frames, I would personally variables as I did with local frame, for example:

frame = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame
frame2 = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame2
frame3 = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame3

for i = 1, 9, .1 do
    frame.Transparency = i
    frame2.Transparency = i
    frame3.Transparency = i
    wait()
end

For more information on loops

I knew were frame was from, I was just lazy to put a variable so I just showed an example. This helped thanks! IntellectualBeing 430 — 10y

You would use a for loop to make this more efficient.

for i = 1, 10 do

    Frame.Transparency = i/10;

    wait(0.1);

end
