How would I lerp between two colors smoothly?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi there, I have a script that lerps between two colors using playbackloudness. Issue is, is that it doesn’t lerp smoothly and doesn’t transition through enough colors. I do not have a current attempt as I do not understand why this is happening.

Credits to @AC_Starmarine and @JaceMorphing for helping me come to a solution

local sound = workspace.Sound
local parts = workspace:WaitForChild("parts")
local floor = parts:WaitForChild("Club Floor")
local ColorSilent = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
local ColorLoud = Color3.fromRGB(10, 162, 243)

task.spawn(function()
	while task.wait() do
		local fractionAlpha = sound.PlaybackLoudness / 150
		if fractionAlpha > 1 then
			fractionAlpha = 1
		end
		floor.Color = ColorSilent:Lerp(ColorLoud, fractionAlpha)
		print(sound.PlaybackLoudness)
	end
end)

Try:


local sound = workspace.Sound

local parts = workspace:WaitForChild("parts")

local floor = parts:WaitForChild("Club Floor")

local ColorSilent = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)

local ColorLoud = Color3.fromRGB(10, 162, 243)

local rs = game:GetService("RunService")

local lastSoundLevel = sound.PlaybackLoudness

rs.Heartbeat:Connect(function()

local difference = sound.PlaybackLoudness - lastSoundLevel

difference /= 100

difference = math.clamp(difference,0,1)

floor.Color = ColorSilent:Lerp(ColorLoud,difference)

end)

What is happening in this script? Can you please explain the differences please?

#4

Also, it isn’t really smoother at all. Sorry

#5

He math.clamps the difference between 0 and 1 so it doesn’t go above 1 or below 0 and then lerps your ColorSilent to ColorLoud with difference

#6

Try to change math.clamp(difference,0,1) to math.clamp(difference,0.3,1)

#7

it does seem a bit more smoother now, I’ll keep playing around with the numbers.

I changed it to 0.5 and it’s so smooth now

#8

You didn’t change math.clamp(difference,0,1) to math.clamp(difference,0.3,1), I have tried this and It works fine and smooth.

#9

Just did

#10

Code I tested :

local sound = workspace:WaitForChild("Flushed")

sound:Play()

while task.wait() do

script.Parent.Color = script.Parent.Color:Lerp(Color3.fromRGB(math.clamp(sound.PlaybackLoudness / 2,10,255),0,0),math.clamp(sound.PlaybackLoudness,0.3,1))

end

I think you can do that with TweenService. They have plenty of EasingStyles to choose from.

#12

I had to untick solution because now I’ve ran into another problem. Is there a way I can adjust the maxloudness of this? The loudness of the playbackloudness is a bit high.

#13

I’ve tried that, but I ran into problems because of looping (I can’t really explain it)

#14

But if I were, how would I use it?

#15

Instead of “true”, just put “false” in TweenInfo. That way, it won’t “reverse” or loop in other words when it finishes the task.

#16

Would you loop it indefinitely or just keep it at zero?

#17

Use math.clamp() or divide Loudness by any number.

#18

like this?

local sound = workspace.Sound
local parts = workspace:WaitForChild("parts")
local floor = parts:WaitForChild("Club Floor")

local ColorSilent = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
local ColorLoud = Color3.fromRGB(10, 162, 243)

local rs = game:GetService("RunService")

local lastSoundLevel = sound.PlaybackLoudness

local pl = sound.PlaybackLoudness / 10

rs.Heartbeat:Connect(function()

	local difference = pl - lastSoundLevel

	difference /= 100

	difference = math.clamp(difference,0.5,1)

	floor.Color = ColorSilent:Lerp(ColorLoud,difference)

end)
#19

Change difference variable to be like this : local difference = (sound.PlaybackLoudness / 4) - lastSoundLevel

#20

You can change number 4 in the variable to any number you wan’t, but 4 works fine for me.
