Disappearing Part Script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Currently, I am trying to to create a module function where a part disappears and reappears. Whenever transparency is 1, CanCollide is false, and whenever transparency is 0, CanCollide is true. I’m using the Roblox tween service to change the part transparency.

Right now, the script is causing too much lag due to the GetPropertyChangedSignal function, but I am unsure of any other way to create a script that will preform the actions above. Can anyone help me out or guide me in the right direction?

for k, shadowpart in pairs(shadowpartFolder:GetChildren()) do

		local goal = {}
		goal.Transparency = 1
		local goal2 = {}
		goal2.Transparency = 0
		local goal3 = {}
		goal3.Transparency = 1
		goal3.CFrame = shadowpart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0,25)
		local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, -1, true, 1)
		local tween = TweenService:Create(shadowpart, tweenInfo, goal)
		local tween2 = TweenService:Create(shadowpart.Union, tweenInfo, goal)
		local tween3 = TweenService:Create(shadowpart, tweenInfo, goal2)
		local tween4 = TweenService:Create(shadowpart.Union, tweenInfo, goal2)
		local tween5 = TweenService:Create(shadowpart, tweenInfo, goal3)
		local tween6 = TweenService:Create(shadowpart.Union, tweenInfo, goal3)


		if shadowpart.Name == "1" then
			tween:Play()
			tween2:Play()
		elseif shadowpart.Name == "2" then
			tween3:Play()
			tween4:Play()
		elseif shadowpart.Name == "3" then
			tween5:Play()
			tween6:Play()
		end

		local union = shadowpart.Union
		
		shadowpart:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Transparency"):Connect(function()
			if shadowpart.Transparency <= 1 and shadowpart.Transparency > 0.75 then
				shadowpart.CanCollide = false
				union.CanCollide = false
			elseif shadowpart.Transparency <= 0.75 then
				shadowpart.CanCollide = true
				union.CanCollide = true		
			end
		end)
	end

This is because tweening changes the transparency 100s of times per second, so the GetPropertyChanged signal is going to fire like crazy. Try adding a wait(5) before that. Also use coroutines so that it doesn’t have to wait for each part.

local CouroutineFunction = coroutine.wrap(function()
wait(5)
shadowpart:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Transparency"):Connect(function()
			if shadowpart.Transparency <= 1 and shadowpart.Transparency > 0.75 then
				shadowpart.CanCollide = false
				union.CanCollide = false
			elseif shadowpart.Transparency <= 0.75 then
				shadowpart.CanCollide = true
				union.CanCollide = true		
			end
		end)
end)
CouroutineFunction()
