How to make Spotlights and Part colors build a gradient and wont "jump" to the next color?

Asked 657 views2 answers

Hello. I have the following problem:

I want to make my SpotLights and Parts color to change color smoothly. This is the script i made:

local SpotLight = workspace.Workspace1.Shop.ShopMisc.ShopSignLamp2

while wait(0.1) do
SpotLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0)
wait(0.5)
SpotLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0,255,38)
wait(0.5)
SpotLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(20,12,255)
wait(0.5)
SpotLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,66,240)
wait(0.5)
SpotLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(20,255,27)
wait(0.5)
SpotLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(114,255,112)
wait(0.5)
SpotLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,149,0)
wait(0.5)
SpotLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0)
wait(0.5)
SpotLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(85,255,0)
wait(0.5)
SpotLight.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,179)
wait(0.5)
end

Is there a integer to form a gradient? Thanks!

Yeah, twinning is definitely one of the easiest ways to go, here's a little example:

local part = script.Parent
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local colors = {
	Color = Color3.new(0,1,0)	
}

local info = TweenInfo.new(5, -- Speed
	Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic,Enum.EasingDirection.In,
	0, -- How many times should it repeat
	false, -- Should it go back to it's original color or not
 	0) -- Delay between repetitions

local Tweening = TweenService:Create(part,info,colors)

Tweening:Play()

Just insert a part and put this script inside it, which will change the part color to green slowly (5 seconds to be exact but you can change that, I've added some comments but I'd still recommend reading the dev page that the comment above me says)

Good luck.

Like ForeverBrown said, you can use TweenService to do something like this now. 

local SpotLight = workspace.Workspace1.Shop.ShopMisc.ShopSignLamp2
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	3, -- Time
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, -- EasingStyle
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -- EasingDirection
	0, -- RepeatCount (when less than zero the tween will loop indefinitely)
	false, -- Reverses (tween will reverse once reaching it's goal)
	0 -- DelayTime
) 

local colors = {
	Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0);
	Color3.fromRGB(0,255,38);
	Color3.fromRGB(20,12,255);
	Color3.fromRGB(255,66,240);
	Color3.fromRGB(20,255,27);
	Color3.fromRGB(114,255,112);
	Color3.fromRGB(255,149,0);
	Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0);
	Color3.fromRGB(85,255,0);
	Color3.fromRGB(255,0,179)
}

while true do
	-- loop through colors
	for i,v in pairs ( colors ) do 
		local tween = TweenService:Create(SpotLight, tweenInfo, {Color = v})
		tween:Play()
		-- wait until tween is done to move on to next color
		tween.Completed:Wait()
	end
end
