Does someone know how to fade the screen to transperancy 1 instead of just disappearing immediatley?

Hi, you could use a gui object that covers the screen and its black. You could then tween the transparency of this. To fix the topbar problem, you could make a property of it called IgnoreGuiInset and set that to true.

If you are asking how to make the actual way to make it go invisible slowly, instead of tweening you could use a for loop.

#4

So
Frame:TweenTransperancy
isn’t a function?

#5

What do you mean, that is a function? You have spelt it wrong

#7

You have spelt the function wrong

#8

To tween properties other than Position and Size you would want to use TweenService.

Class Page:

Example:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tween = TweenService:Create(textLabel, TweenInfo.new(5), {BackgroundTransparency = 1})
tween:Play()

What is the correct way to spell the function?

#10

:TweenTransparency
(char limit)

#11

:TweenTransparency() is not a valid function. Please do not try and spread misinformation.

@rustyhuskey’s solution is valid, please follow that instead. You can only tween size and position as a method of an instance on GuiObject‘s only.

Oh sorry I didn’t check if it was valid. My mistake!

#13

Thanks. I used rusty’s advice and I made something like this:

BlackScreenFade.BackgroundColor = BrickColor.Black()
local Transperancy = {}
BlackScreenFade.Transparency = 1
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear)

if game:IsLoaded() then
	textLabel.Text = "Extraction Point"
	wait(2)
	BlackScreenFade.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
	local tween = TweenService:Create(BlackScreenFade, tweenInfo, Transperancy)
end

It doesn’t give me any errors, but it doesn’t work

#14

Tweens created using TweenService must be played using :Play() from the created tween here

local tween = TweenService:Create(BlackScreenFade, tweenInfo, Transperancy)

i.e tween:Play()

#15

Odd, i added tween:Play and it still doesn’t seem to work

#16

oh, Transparency isn’t a property of the TextLabel
They have TextTransparency and BackgroundTransparency

Assuming you’ll want to fade the background, you would use the one containing the keyword “background”.

#17 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedFirst = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer 
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screenGui.IgnoreGuiInset = true
screenGui.Parent = playerGui
local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
textLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(16, 16, 16)
textLabel.Font = Enum.Font.Merriweather
textLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.819608, 0.819608, 0.819608)
textLabel.Text = ""
textLabel.TextSize = 40
textLabel.Parent = screenGui
local TextTurnOnSound = game.SoundService["Lights Turning On"]

-- Remove the default loading screen
ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()

wait(5)  -- Force screen to appear for a minimum number of seconds
if not game:IsLoaded() then
	game.Loaded:Wait()
end
local BlackScreenFade = Instance.new("Frame")
BlackScreenFade.BackgroundColor = BrickColor.Black()
local Transperancy = {}
BlackScreenFade.Transparency = 1
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear)
local tween = TweenService:Create(BlackScreenFade, tweenInfo, Transperancy)
BlackScreenFade.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)

if game:IsLoaded() then
	textLabel.Text = "Extraction Point"
	if TextTurnOnSound.Playing then
		TextTurnOnSound.Playing = false
	else
		TextTurnOnSound.Playing = true
	end
	wait(2)
	tween:Play()
end

Here is my full script

#18

K first line, I’m guessing that’s a Frame. It’s BackgroundColor3
Then you spelt transparency wrong
Then it’s BackgroundTransparency, not Transparency on line 3
Then for the third argument in the :Create, you are setting it to an empty table. You need to set it to this {BackgroundTransparency = 0}

#20

BlackScreenFade.BackgroundColor = BrickColor.Black()
BackgroundColor3 can’t be set to BrickColor.Black()

#21

Are you not getting any errors? This should be erroring all over the place. Open your output window and take a screenshot of what you see
