GUI won't lose transparency when a value is below a certain point

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making a script where if a value is below a certain point, a red GUI will start to lose transparency.

Simple as this: It won’t work.

I’m only using the Developer Forum to get help right now. If possible, please help!

This is my script:

AirValue = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Water.Air
TransparencyObj = script.Parent.LowOxygenEffect

while true do
	if AirValue <= 35 then
		TransparencyObj.BackgroundTransparency = AirValue / 35
		wait(0)
	elseif AirValue >= 35 then
		TransparencyObj.BackgroundTransparency = 1
	end
end

I’m going to add a limit to how opaque the GUI can get - but right now, I need this to be fixed.

I don’t see how anything is wrong with the script.

Your AirValue variable seems to refer to a value instance, not the actual number. Your if statement should look like this:

if AirValue.Value <= 35 then

Did you not get an error? I think you should have got one for comparing whether an instance is smaller than a number.

I just realized that and was going to fix and delete the post, thanks for helping though!

Should this work?
testscript
Don’t worry about “AirValue”, I’m going to fix that.

It does not work (I already edited the Air.Value).

#5

on the statement

“if Air.Value <= 35 then”

is spelled wrong, It should be AirValue.Value not Air.Value
also happen in the else if condition

Also i recommned you using the function AirValue.Changed:Connect(function() instead of while looping through it to prevent some lag.

Someone else is helping me. It’s still not working.

hmm, very weird. what type of script is that and where is it located?
try this code example:

TransparencyObj.BackgroundTransparency = AirValue.Value / 35

You don’t need to put if and elseif condition since the outcome still the same, when the value reaches 35 it became whole invisible and when 0, its opaque.

The things that @Legend_Allen has said are correct. And it might help if you answered his questions. Also, are you getting any error in the output window?
