It looks trashy but this script makes an image GUI appear, then disappear.

while true do

wait(4) --Waits 4 seconds
for i = 1,0,-0.05 do --loop that goes from 1 to 0, incrementing by -0.05
    script.Parent.Transparency = i --Sets the transparency to i
    script.Parent.ImageTransparency = i
    wait(0.1)
end
wait(6) --how long the image will appear [you can change this value]
for i = 0,1,0.05 do --loop that goes from 0 to 1, incrementing by 0.05
    script.Parent.Transparency = i
    script.Parent.ImageTransparency = i
    wait(0.1)
end
script.Parent:Destroy() --Destroy() is a better choice than remove()

Hope this helped!

Using loops, you can repeat the linear value change.

For example:

local sp = script.Parent

repeat wait(0.1)

    sp.Transparency = sp.Transparency - 0.05
    sp.Image.Transparency = sp.Image.Transparency - 0.05

until sp.Transparency == 0

repeat wait(0.1)

    sp.Transparency = sp.Transparency + 0.05
    sp.Image.Transparency = sp.Image.Transparency + 0.05

until sp.Transparency == 1

There is a way to make this shorter by using a loop or you can use a load string script, but that's hard to convert if you are not experienced in load string scripting.
