Transparency values not updating properties?

Asked 317 views2 answers

The title explains it all. I'm trying to make it so when the silencer of the gun is off, it changes the sound and the effects. The silencer on part works properly, but the silencer off part doesn't update the properties.

--Silencer off
if script.Parent.Silencer.Transparency == 1 then
	script.Parent.Main.FlashGui.Label.Visible = true
	script.Parent.Handle.FireSound.Volume = 3
	script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Brightness = 13
	script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Range = 7
end
--Silencer on
if script.Parent.Silencer.Transparency == 0 then
	script.Parent.Main.FlashGui.Label.Visible = false
	script.Parent.Handle.FireSound.Volume = 0.1
	script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Brightness = 5
	script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Range = 3
end

You should not loop to check the transparency, use .Changed event instead

--Silencer off
script.Parent.Silencer.Changed:Connect(function()
if script.Parent.Silencer.Transparency == 1 then
    script.Parent.Main.FlashGui.Label.Visible = true
    script.Parent.Handle.FireSound.Volume = 3
    script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Brightness = 13
    script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Range = 7
end
--Silencer on
if script.Parent.Silencer.Transparency == 0 then
    script.Parent.Main.FlashGui.Label.Visible = false
    script.Parent.Handle.FireSound.Volume = 0.1
    script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Brightness = 5
    script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Range = 3
end
end)

.Changed is deprecated, use GetPropertyChangedSignal Instead

while wait() do
if script.Parent.Silencer.Transparency == 1 then
    script.Parent.Main.FlashGui.Label.Visible = true
    script.Parent.Handle.FireSound.Volume = 3
    script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Brightness = 13
    script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Range = 7
end
--Silencer on
if script.Parent.Silencer.Transparency == 0 then
    script.Parent.Main.FlashGui.Label.Visible = false
    script.Parent.Handle.FireSound.Volume = 0.1
    script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Brightness = 5
    script.Parent.Main.FlashFX.Range = 3
end
end
