How Do I Make A Light Increase and Decrease More Efficiently?
01 | local light = script.Parent.PointLight |
02 |
03 | while true do |
04 | light.Brightness = 2 |
05 | wait(.1) |
06 | light.Brightness = 2.2 |
07 | wait(.1) |
08 | light.Brightness = 2.4 |
09 | wait(.1) |
10 | light.Brightness = 2.6 |
11 | wait(.1) |
12 | light.Brightness = 2.8 |
13 | wait(.1) |
14 | light.Brightness = 3 |
15 | wait(.1) |

Use tweening.
A) It'll produce smoother results
B) It can be reversed
C) Way more concise
01 | local tween_service = game:GetService("TweenService") |
02 |
03 | local light = script.Parent.PointLight |
04 |
05 | local tween_info = TweenInfo.new( |
06 | 1, -- time |
07 | Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, -- easingstyle |
08 | Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -- easingdirection |
09 | 100, -- repeats (should probably go higher for infinite loop) |
10 | true -- the magic parameter to make it reverse |
11 | ) -- you can tweak these settings of course (see wiki links below for help) |

13 |
14 | local light_tween = tween_service:Create(light, tween_info, {Brightness = 5}) |
15 | light_tween:Play() |

Before I discovered this, I used for loops. I still am not quite familiar with the tween syntax. User#24228 0 — 5y

TweenService:Create is a very simple function really. Look through the Wiki page, but the example program at the bottom might be most helpful to you: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/TweenService/Create LukeSmasher 619 — 5y

Well you could just make a loop that changes the brightness by 0.2 each time.
01 | local light = script.Parent.PointLight |
02 |
03 | while true do |
04 | wait(0.001) |
05 | local light = script.Parent.PointLight |
06 |
07 | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
08 |
09 | local currentBrightness = light.Brightness |
10 | wait(0.1) |
11 | currentBrightness = currentBrightness + 0.2 |
12 | end |
If this solved your question please accept this answer.

that wouldn't work because it would just continually increase the brightness and not decrease it at any given point SKOSHILOKI 67 — 5y

01 | while wait(0.1) do |
02 | for i = 2,5,0.2 do |
03 | script.Parent.PointLight.Brightness = i |
04 | wait(0.1) |
05 | end |
06 | for i = 5,2,-0.2 do |
07 | script.Parent.PointLight.Brightness = i |
08 | wait(0.1) |
09 | end |
10 | end |

works perfectly WaterlooBuilder 4 — 5y
