How to make a part disappear?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am making a simple elevator, and am trying to make the door disappear and reappear.
Here is my script, nothing works, every single “Parent” has a W001 error, and no problems are in output.
Parent.door1.CanCollide = true
Parent.door1.Transparency = 0
wait (25)
Parent.door1.CanCollide = false
Parent.door1.Transparency = 1
wait (10)
Parent.door1.CanCollide = true
Parent.door1.Transparency = 0
repeat

When you type Parent it gets the hierarchical parent of the instance you call it on. Because you are calling Parent on nothing it returns an error. One way to use parent is:

Door.Parent.door1.Transparency = 0

Here’s what you need:

while true do
    -- visible and can collide
    script.Parent.door1.CanCollide = true
    script.Parent.door1.Transparency = 0
    wait (25)

    -- invisible and cant collide
    script.Parent.door1.CanCollide = false
    script.Parent.door1.Transparency = 1
    wait (10)
end

Edit: Ha ha, I wrote Script instead of script, slight error fixed :slight_smile:
