I'm Experiencing Problems with Transparency Script?

Asked 241 views1 answers

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")

Ok thank you! I tried messing with the script for a while, but I couldn't really figure out how to get it to change with my value. I figure I could just configure the script to when I want it to change, and just paste it into all of the parts. Thanks!

Another thing you could do it "for i,v in pairs(Model:GetChildren())", I could explain it all, but it's better if you look on the DevForum's examples.
