How can I add an image onto the chatbox and make it fade

I already have the chat gui set up how I want but there’s one problem.

the red lines do not fade away as the chat.

I’m guessing this has something to do with the ChatScript from the Chat folder thingy, I just don’t know what to do to make it work like the rest of the chatbox.

You can tell the transparency by looking at the ChatChannelParentFrame's transparency. It’s in the chat

image

Here’s how you can get it:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player.PlayerGui
local chatTransparency = playerGui.Chat.Frame.ChatChannelParentFrame

That’s not what I meant.

At about 0:12 you can see the chat fading away, but the lines remain. I want to know how to make the lines fade away with the chat.

maybe use a wait()? to check how long it has been since last input?

you could go the lazy route, and put a localscript in each bar that repeatedly sets the transparency to the transparency of the chat frame

example:

local bar = script.Parent
local chatFrame = bar.Parent

while task.wait() do
    bar.BackgroundTransparency = chatFrame.BackgroundTransparency
end

i don’t know if this is optimization friendly though

Did you make the red lines is this something built in to the chat that you tweaked?

I added the lines into the chat gui myself
