Need help removing flash bang effect from gui text

My goal is to make the text not transparent and then transparent again, which I did.


However as you can see, the text has a flashbang effect which isn’t very nice.
Here is the script:

	
	while guideTxt.TextTransparency > 0 do
		wait(0.01)
		guideTxt.TextTransparency -= 0.02
	end
	
	wait(5)
	while guideTxt.TextTransparency < 1 do
		wait(0.01)
		guideTxt.TextTransparency += 0.02
	end
end

I tried changing stroke transparency, but it only delays the flashbang instead of making a smooth transition:

	
	while guideTxt.TextTransparency > 0 do
		wait(0.01)
		guideTxt.TextTransparency -= 0.02
		guideTxt.TextStrokeTransparency -= 0.02
	end
	
	wait(5)
	while guideTxt.TextTransparency < 1 do
		wait(0.01)
		guideTxt.TextTransparency += 0.02
		guideTxt.TextStrokeTransparency += 0.02
	end
end

I think this works:

local function adjustForFlashBang(guiText)
	guiText.TextTransparency = 0
	while guiText.TextTransparency < 1 do
		guiText.TextTransparency = guiText.TextTransparency + 0.02
		wait()
	end
end

 adjustForFlashBang(guiText)



local function adjustForFlashBang(guiText)
	guiText.TextTransparency = 0
	while guiText.TextTransparency < 1 do
		guiText.TextTransparency = guiText.TextTransparency + 0.02
		wait()
	end
end

adjustForFlashBang(guiText)

It is causing a lot of mess in my code when I try to impliment it in the script.

#4

Oh sorry, I tried helping but maybe try to clear the script and then insert the script?

#5

I did, but there are syntax errors everywhere (even when renaming guitext to guidetxt), and the numbers are wrong. I also fail to see how this solves my original problem…

#6

Aight, sorry there. I tried to help but I cannot do more than that right now in GUI’s and things, I am not really experienced in GUI’s right now.

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(190,190,190) -- Darkens the Text

for i = 1,3 do -- Repeats 3 times
TS:Create(TextLabel, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 0})
task.wait(2)
TS:Create(TextLabel, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 1})
task.wait(2)
end
#8

This doesn’t trigger it. Did I do something wrong?

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

	for i = 1,3 do -- Repeats 3 times
		TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 0})
		task.wait(2)
		TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 1})
		task.wait(2)
	end

sorry, add :Play()

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(190,190,190) -- Darkens the Text

for i = 1,3 do -- Repeats 3 times
TS:Create(TextLabel, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 0}):Play()
task.wait(2)
TS:Create(TextLabel, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 1}):Play()
task.wait(2)
end

Its just an effect, you can remove it

#10

Now it’s missing the textStroke.

#11 
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(190,190,190)

for i = 1,3 do
TS:Create(TextLabel, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 0, TextStrokeTransparency = 0}):Play()
task.wait(2)
TS:Create(TextLabel, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 1, TextStrokeTransparency = 1}):Play()
task.wait(2)
end

Unfortunately this brings me back to my original problem, which is the flashbang effect.

#13

This line is meant to prevent the text from being very bright

#14

The text itself was never bright to begin with. The problem is that my textstroke is causing this weird effect as you can see in the video I posted.

  1. The stroke is covering the entire txt, instead of only the edges.
  2. The stroke is instantly turning 100% non transparent.

The tween service is cool though, even though it doesn’t solve it.

#15

This is what the Script should do:


it shouldn’t cause a “Flashbang” effect

#16

It gives the same effect that my original script gives.
And yes I know it shouldn’t cause a flashbang effect - that is why I am posting on DevForum.

#17

But why are you arguing then???

#18

I’m not arguing. I am simply explaining that the problem is displayed on the original video that I posted. The stroke is behaving weirdly.

#19

Can you show your whole script then? there may be something interfering with it
