Hey, I’m trying to make a button with a beam in my tycoon game,
and I’m looking how can I make beam disappears when player purchases an object.
I created a simple script that was supposed to compare transparency of button and apply it on a beam but it doesn’t work. ( I’m new to scripting and also it’s my first contact with beams etc, still learning.)
while true do
script.Parent.Transparency = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Head.Transparency
end
Any tips or ideas what should I do or what to change?
local text = script.Parent.Parent.BillboardGui.TextLabel
local beam = script.Parent
if text.Transparency == 1 then
beam.Transparency = NumberSequence.new(1)
elseif text.Transparency == 0 then
beam.Transparency = NumberSequence.new(0)
end
because GUI works somehow with head transparency
GUI script:
while wait() do
script.Parent.TextTransparency = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Head.Transparency
end
now beam disappear but doesn’t show up when button appears
I’m using free zednov tycoon kit, there full purchase handler script with include button scripts:
