Fading the Character's Body

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello there, I’m working on a spawn animation where when your character spawns, it’ll play an animation and during the animation I want all the parts of the character to simultaneously fade in.

Here is my attempt at creating this effect:

– I created a function with the idea that I can run it as many times as I want so it will fade all at once.

local function fade(part)
	for i = 1,0,-0.1 do
		part.Transparency = i
		wait(0.01)
	end
end
  • Here is the rest of the code:
for i,v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") then
				if v.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
					fade(v)
				end
			end
		end

Right before this I play the animation, which is around 3 - 4 seconds long. And the animation plays fine.

but my issue is:

When I spawn, it fades every body part… one… after… another… Which isn’t what I want.

Have any other ideas / methods that could work?

you should use tweenservice, a much nicer way to do it

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
local TI = TweenInfo.new(Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 1)

for i,v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("BasePart") then
		if v.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
			TS:Create(v, TI, {Transparency = 1})
		end
	end
end

There were a couple things wrong with your code, but I fixed it. Yet it still didn’t work. My character just stayed invisible. No errors in the output.

EDIT: I searched up API and apparently Transparency cannot be tweened? is this correct?

Well, either transparency is an attribute or they left it out, because it works fine with mine

Here is what I’ve put, anything look wrong?

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
local TI = TweenInfo.new(
	1, 
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, 
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 
	1
	)

and

	for i,v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("BasePart") then
				TS:Create(v, TI, {Transparency = 0})
			end
		end

You forgot to add :Play()
Change

TS:Create(v, TI, {Transparency = 0})

to

TS:Create(v, TI, {Transparency = 0}):Play()

otherwise it looks fine

Edit: Well, oops, that wan’t you fault, it was mine, I forgot to add it :neutral_face:

Transparency is recognized as number value in roblox. Property name is just a way to access the data type. Part.Position is not saved as a data type Position, Part.Position is a reference to a Vector3 stored in memory.

Yeah I thought of that afterwards. Thanks for the clarification! :slight_smile:
