Anyone know why this is happening?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Basically, I’ve checked whether or not the function is runniing more than once by printing “hello” but it only prints that and other stuff once yet it makes BOTH of my arms transparency = 0.5 and when you read the script you’ll notice how that is weird:

print("hello")
			print("yes there is a closestPlayer")
		local SelectionBox = Instance.new("SelectionBox")
		SelectionBox.Parent = ClosestChar
		if math.random(1,2) == 1 then
			print("blud what")
			SelectionBox.Adornee = ClosestChar["Right Arm"]
			ClosestChar["Right Arm"].Transparency = 0.5
		else
			SelectionBox.Adornee = ClosestChar["Left Arm"]
			ClosestChar["Left Arm"].Transparency = 0.5
			print("blud what")
		end
		task.wait(0.4)
		SelectionBox.Visible = false
		task.wait(0.4)
		SelectionBox.Visible = true
		task.wait(0.4)
		SelectionBox.Visible = false

is this the whole script, and are there any other scripts that change transparencies of arms?

This isn’t the whole script, but no there isnt anything else that does this, and i know it’s doing this exact thing because it’s also making the selectionbox go on and off on both arms when it should just be created on one random arm and go on and off

#4

Not enough to work with. Try making that last SelectionBox.Visible = nil
… ??

#5

uhh for some reason it’s working now when i did that? Is that just a coincidence? Nevermind it stopped working again

#6

mind sending the whole script?

I just set the last selectionbox.visible to nil instead of false and it’s worked normally 3 times in a row i dont know if thats coincidence or not, Nevermiind it stopped workiing normally again

#8

is arm transparency reset after you change it the first time?

#9

Yea I set both back to 0 after 10 seconds using task.delay
