How can I make a frame that goes from 1 transparency to 0 smoothly?

Hello!

So I am trying to make that a frame goes from 1 transparency to 0 by 0.01 smoothly, and if a player clicked the frame went back to 1, if he had already clicked before changing transparency it wouldn’t change, I never used tween service, so I was not able to find a solution.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks!

use a for loop

for i = 1, 0, -1 do
     wait(1)
     Part.Transparency = i
end

Yes, but it won’t go smoothly

This will go smoothly but slowly

for i = 1, 0, -0.01 do
wait()
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = i
end

@FerbZides Just did it wrongly

It feels like you just want us to create something for you when you are not even trying.

You are correct in thinking that you need to use the tween service for this, although you could interpolate as the answers above are suggesting, tweening will make it look smoother and you will have more control over your final product.

To use the tween service you need to retreve it using the :GetService method from game, looking like this:

game:GetService("TweenService")

Next we need to tell the tween we are going to create what value to change and what to change it to, this is done via a table. For simplicity sake we will call it goal but you can call it any other valid variable name.

local Goal = {}
Goal.Transparency = 0 -- Goal.ValueToChange = What to change to

Now we need to tell the tween how we want the value to change - fast, slow, bouncy etc. This is done by creating a TweenInfo value like this:

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(time, easingStyle, easingDirection, repeatCount, reverse, delay)

If you reach an argument and don’t want to change anymore, you don’t have to put in all of the arguments. Don’t worry if you can’t remember all of the arguments, they can all be found here.

So filled out for your example you may want:

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)

Easingstyle

Now all we need to do is create the tween and play it. We can do this by using the :Create method from tween service with the arguments we just made.

local GuiFrame = -- Wherever your frame is
local tween = TweenService:Create(GuiFrame, tweenInfo, goal)
tween:Play() -- Play the tween

So all together your code should look something like the following:

local GuiFrame = -- Wherever your frame is

local Goal = {}
Goal.Transparency = 0 -- Goal.ValueToChange = What to change to

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)

local tween = TweenService:Create(GuiFrame, tweenInfo, goal)
tween:Play() -- Play the tween

I prefer using TweenService if you’re going to make it smooth. I don’t recommend for loops here.
