Hello. I am trying to get the effect of a lightsaber. I tried using particle emitters, that did not work. I decided just to use a part that has neon and forfield materials. I want to have an ignition, so when I hit the key “Q” the lightsaber blade/beam does the thing it does in the movies…Pops up from the bottom to the top. I tried using this script:
local part = game.Workspace.Part -- Replace with the name of your part
local numSegments = 10
local segmentHeight = part.Size.Y / numSegments
local waitTime = 0.1
for i = 1, numSegments do
local transparency = (i * segmentHeight) / part.Size.Y -- Calculate transparency based on how much of the total distance each segment has covered
part.Transparency = transparency -- Set transparency of part
wait(waitTime) -- Wait for a short period of time (you may need to adjust this value)
end
But that changes the WHOLE parts transparency and not segments at a time like I thought it would. I am not implementing the ignition yet, im more testing different ways. What am I doing wrong? How can I achieve this desired effect? Using TweenService?
FYI: This isnt actually the script I used, the script I used I just found in my toolbox for some reason and spiced it up. But this looks and does the exact same thing. I found this from some YT tutorial
