How could i make this smoother - ColorSequence

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to make the change in ColorSequence smooth instead of instant, how would I go about doing this?

I know how to make the part smooth using TweenService, so ignore that, but TweenService isn’t provided for Beams.

				local red = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)

				local ColorSequenceRed = ColorSequence.new{
					ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(0, red),
					ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(1, red)
				}
				game.Workspace.Spawn.Lights.Beam1.Beam.Color = ColorSequenceRed
				game.Workspace.Spawn.Lights.Beam2.Beam.Color = ColorSequenceRed
				game.Workspace.Spawn.Lights.Beam3.Beam.Color = ColorSequenceRed
				game.Workspace.Spawn.Lights.Beam4.Beam.Color = ColorSequenceRed
				game.Workspace.Spawn.SpawnNeon.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)

Use TweenService on a Color3Value and then make the beam change its color everytime the Color3Value changes.

--Put in a Color3Value
local Value = script.Parent
local Beam = YOUR_PATH_TO_BEAM

local NewColor = Color3.new(255,0,0)

--Set the Value's Value to Beams Color for better performance!

game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Value,TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0,false,0),{Value = NewColor}):Play

Value.Changed:Connect(function(val)
    Beam.Color = ColorSequence.new(val)
end)

Got this error, and the ‘play tween’ line is underlined in red.

#4

Ohh i forgot to put () there…

Can you put :Play() instead of :Play there?

i think it will work like that

Got another error

		local Value = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
		local Beam = game.Workspace.Spawn.Lights.Beam1.Beam

		local NewColor = Color3.fromRGB(0,255,0)


		game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Value,TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0,false,0),{Value = NewColor}):Play()

		Value.Changed:Connect(function(val)
			Beam.Color = ColorSequence.new(val)
		end)
#6

Ohh you need the Value to be a Color3Value object!

Does it work with that?

#7

How do i change that?
char limit

#8

Oh okay lemme change the script up a bit

local OldColor = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
local Value = Instance.new("Color3Value",workspace)
Value.Value = OldColor
local Beam = game.Workspace.Spawn.Lights.Beam1.Beam

local NewColor = Color3.fromRGB(0,255,0)


local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Value,TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0,false,0),{Value = NewColor})

Tween:Play()

Value.Changed:Connect(function(val)
	Beam.Color = ColorSequence.new(val)
end)

--AutoDelete the Value after use (optional)
Tween.Completed:Connect(function()
    Value:Destroy()
end)

try this

Don’t use Instance.new() with the parent argument, it’s terrible for performance.

#10

ok and? it will be deleted a minute later O___O

#11

Just pointed it out, and ye i didn’t see that you destroyed the instance but nonetheless it’s just a PSA.

			local ChangeColor =

					Color = Color3.fromRGB(100, 255, 50),
				}

			local Tween1 = TweenService:Create(game.Workspace.Spawn:WaitForChild("SpawnNeon"), Info, ChangeColor)	

			Tween1:Play()
			task.wait()
			Active = false
		else
		end

This part of the script is causing a lot of lag, do you know why?
I just tried in-game and whenever this part of the code is running, ping increases and fps drops crucially.
