I'm Experiencing Problems with Transparency Script?
Hey.. I'm sort of a new scripter when it comes to lua, and my friend and I are trying to make a game (pretty obvious). In the game, "people", which are made up of parts, move around using transparency. I have one script that controls values that are sensed, which then makes a part visible, and 2 scripts that make the part visible, and invisible. Since the people are made up of parts and meshes, I can't really have them all in one script, and I can't turn meshes into unions, so I came up with a script that I can just copy and paste into all of the parts in the person. The problem that I am having with the scripts is that in the visible and invisible scripts, they only work once. The first time that I change a value, it turns visible, and then when I change the value again, it turns invisible. BUT, if I change the value again, it won't turn visible again. I changed some stuff around to test it, but I couldn't really find anything that could be causing this? Could someone please help me with what is wrong with my script? The scripts are here:
Visible script:
local a = true
repeat
repeat
wait(0.1)
until game.Workspace.PValues.PStage.Value == 1
script.Parent.Transparency = 0
wait(1)
until a == false
Invisible script:
local a = true
repeat
repeat
wait(0.1)
until game.Workspace.PValues.PStage.Value == 0
script.Parent.Transparency = 1
wait(1)
until a == false
Turn values on and off script:
repeat
game.Workspace.PValues.PRDoor.Value = 0
game.Workspace.PValues.PStage.Value = 1
wait(10)
game.Workspace.PValues.PLeavingStage.Value = 1
game.Workspace.PValues.PStage.Value = 0
wait(15)
game.Workspace.PValues.PTables.Value = 1
game.Workspace.PValues.PLeavingStage.Value = 0
script.Parent.FootSteps.Playing = true
wait(1.5)
script.Parent.FootSteps.Playing = true
wait(20)
game.Workspace.PValues.PTables.Value = 0
game.Workspace.PValues.PPartyRoom2.Value = 1
script.Parent.FootSteps.Playing = true
wait(1.5)
script.Parent.FootSteps.Playing = true
wait(20)
game.Workspace.PValues.PPartyRoom2.Value = 0
game.Workspace.PValues.PRHall.Value = 1
script.Parent.FootSteps.Playing = true
wait(1.5)
script.Parent.FootSteps.Playing = true
wait(10)
game.Workspace.PValues.PRHall.Value = 0
game.Workspace.PValues.PPartyRoom1.Value = 1
wait(20)
game.Workspace.PValues.PRHall.Value = 1
game.Workspace.PValues.PPartyRoom1.Value = 0
wait(10)
game.Workspace.PValues.PRHall.Value = 0
game.Workspace.PValues.PRDoor.Value = 1
script.Parent.FootSteps.Playing = true
wait(1.5)
script.Parent.FootSteps.Playing = true
wait(5)
until game.Workspace.Values.RightDoorValue.Value == 0
Thank you so much for helping out! I hope someone can help me because I don't really know what is wrong ;_; Thanks!

Here's my Fade function, I didnt recreate yours like I did others, so you'll have to see this for yourself.
local Part = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
Part.Anchored = true
Part.Position = Vector3.new(0,6,0)
local Transparent = false
function Fade(Type)
local Transparency = Part.Transparency
if Type == "Invisible" and Transparent == true then
while Part.Transparency < 0.05 do
for i = 0,1,0.05 do
wait()
Part.Transparency = Transparency + i
end
end
Part.Transparency = 1
elseif Type == "Visible" and Transparent == false then
while Part.Transparency < 0.05 do
for i = 0,1,0.05 do
wait()
Part.Transparency = Transparency - i
end
end
Part.Transparency = 0
end
end
wait(5)
Fade("Invisible")
wait(5)
Fade("Visible")
0
