How to make transparency few parts at the same time?

Hello devs!

I have problem with making transparency few parts at the same time.
Here is example what I mean:
When someone makes doors which are getting transparency when someone clicks on these door he uses code like this:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Part.Transparency = 0.5
	script.Parent.Part2.Transparency = 0.5
	script.Parent.Part.CanCollide = false
	script.Parent.Part2.CanCollide = false
	wait(5)
	script.Parent.Part.Transparency = 0
	script.Parent.Part2.Transparency = 0
	script.Parent.Part.CanCollide = true
	script.Parent.Part2.CanCollide = true
end)

But I want to make code like this:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
 	allParts.Transparency = 0.5
	allPartsCanCollide = false
	wait(5)
	allParts.Transparency = 0
	allParts.CanCollide = true
end)

I know I can union them but I’m using SurfaceGui on these doors.

Here is my code:

for i, Level in pairs(Map:GetChildren()) do
			 Level.lever.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
				if Level.lever.Type.Value == "Door" then
					local doorassets = Level.door:GetChildren()
					for i = 1, #doorassets do
						if not doorassets[i]:IsA("Model") then
							doorassets[i].Transparency = 0.5
							wait(7)
							doorassets[i].Transparency = 0
						end
					end
				end
				print(plr,"Completed",Level.Name,"at",Map.Name)
			end)	
		end

in pairs loop won’t work bc It makes 1 part transparency = 0.5 and after 7 seconds it will make it transparency = 0 and then next part will be transparency = 0.5

If you use Instance:GetChildren() twice, once for making it all transparent and twice for making it all solid again, that would work. Just do not put the yielding in the loops, make them between the loops.

This would be the most efficient and space-friendly way of doing it

You could utilize task.spawn in your current code.

for i, Level in pairs(Map:GetChildren()) do
			 Level.lever.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
				if Level.lever.Type.Value == "Door" then
					local doorassets = Level.door:GetChildren()
					for i = 1, #doorassets do
						if not doorassets[i]:IsA("Model") then
                           task.spawn(function()
							   doorassets[i].Transparency = 0.5
							   task.wait(7)
							   doorassets[i].Transparency = 0
                           end)
						end
					end
				end
				print(plr,"Completed",Level.Name,"at",Map.Name)
			end)	
		end
