  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I am trying to tween a beams transparency and color.

  2. What is the issue?
    It keeps giving an error saying “TweenService:Create property named ‘Transparency’ on object ‘light’ is not a data type that can be tweened”

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I looked through developer forum and found nothing helpful.

	ts:Create(v.Head.Beam.light, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {Transparency = NumberSequence.new(0)}):Play()
	ts:Create(v.Head.Beam.light, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {Color = ColorSequence.new(Color3.fromRGB(179, 0, 255))}):Play()

Correct me if I am wrong but I’m pretty sure your out of luck. Within the error it states that the property ‘Transparency’ cannot be tweened.

I see. Really weird why beam properties cannot be tweened.

#4

Because it uses NumberSequence which cannot be tweened. Pretty sure NumberSequence is there in the first place to allow you to animate the transparency either way.

#5

Unfortunately, the transparency property of a Beam is a number sequence, so you can’t tween it. You can try making a custom function to tween number sequences though.

#6

There is a way to tween NumberSequences - by using NumberValues. I explained it in detail here:
