Lerp Function Help

[Aim4Lua]

Hey DevForum,

i have a question about the Lerp. So you can use Lerp to get it from the one color too the Other Color and now my question is can i do the Same but with Materials.

For Example:

Smooth Plastic to Neon

I’d appreciate it if anyone could help me!

Thanks,

You cannot transition Enum items, you can only set it to your desired Enum which in your case would be Enum.Material. An error like this will appear:

Yea i set it to

local Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
local Material2 = Enum.Material.Neon

Code :

local function inverseLerp(a, b, x)

return (x-a)/(b/a)

end

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(Lerp)

Part.Material = Material1:Lerp(Material2, t)

end)

If tween service also doesn’t work, which I’m pretty sure it doesn’t, the closest thing you can do is probably spawn another part at the same position with the same size and slowly tween its transparency in as you tween the old parts transparency out

Yea it dont work i just want to make Reacting Parts with Music with the Lerp Function because this Works with Normal Colors so i thought it should maybe work with Materials too.

It is of course not possible to tween between materials because materials are static textures.

Is there a way to tween materials?

tweening would be going from a certain value to another value, for materials, there isnt anything in between so it wouldnt really be possible, what you could do is have 2 parts of different materials and have one fully visible then make them switch metal - visible -> invisible neon - invisible -> visible something like that might work using a tween of course to make them invisible/visible

You cant interpolate textures but what you could do is get the part, duplicate it and make it slightly smaller. Then you set that to smooth plastic and the shell part is set to transparency = 1. Then you interpolate the value setting the inset to 1-lerp() and the outset to lerp(). This only works with smooth plastic up close but plastic could work if it is at a distance so you cant see the small little plastic textures. Make sure the neon color is the same as the plastic color

Oh Ok Thank You for your Answer but you know maybe how to make this in one Part that Changes the Material to Neon when the Music gets Louder and when its go lower then its goes just in Normal Smooth Plastic but a bit bright.
