Hi,

What I want to make

so im saying if the scripts parent is visible then it will do the following, wait 1 second, make “Flash” appear, then wait .1 seconds, then it makes the “part” invisible then “Flash” invisible then the “letter” visible, then make the “letter” unanchored.

What the issue is

the script is perfectly fine and I don’t under stand the issue. I hope you guys can help me resolve this(the output didn’t confirm an error)

Script

if script.Parent.Transparency == 0 then
    wait(1)
    script.Parent.Parent.Flash.Transparency = 0
    wait(5)
    script.Parent.Transparency = 1
    script.Parent.Parent.Flash.Transparency = 1
    script.Parent.Parent.letter.Transparency = 0
    script.Parent.Parent.letter.Anchored = false
end

I hope you can help me!

From,
Mista

It might be due to the script only running once when it starts.

script.Parent:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Transparency"):Connect(function()
    if script.Parent.Transparency == 0 then
       wait(1)
       script.Parent.Parent.Flash.Transparency = 0
       wait(5)
       script.Parent.Transparency = 1
       script.Parent.Parent.Flash.Transparency = 1
       script.Parent.Parent.letter.Transparency = 0
       script.Parent.Parent.letter.Anchored = false
   end
end)

This will make the code run everytime the transparency is changed

Thank you! This worked. Im not quite a good scripter. Can you explain to me what script.Parent:GetPropertyChangedSignal(“Transparency”):Connect(function() means?

#4

In short, it’s basically telling the scirpt to run whatever is inside of the event if Transparency changes

#5

GetPropertyChangedSignal creates a signal that is fired everytime the property is changed.

Oh. Oki. Thanks guys! Also hi Embat!
