Need help removing flash bang effect from gui text

youbigown · November 7, 2022, 2:13pm

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.

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

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

This is what the Script should do:

it shouldn’t cause a “Flashbang” effect

youbigown · November 7, 2022, 2:19pm

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.

DasKairo · November 7, 2022, 2:22pm

But why are you arguing then???

youbigown · November 7, 2022, 2:25pm

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.

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

That would only seem to make the loading inconsistent. The --[[ tip is nice though.

This seems more like a GUI issue than a scripting issue at this point. I removed the scripting tag.

EgizianoEG · November 7, 2022, 2:39pm

you may need to delay the text transparency tween for about 0.3 secs
Or speed the text stroke tween little a bit

youbigown · November 7, 2022, 2:41pm

What should I change here to delay it for 0,3s?

	
	local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

	TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 0, TextStrokeTransparency = 0}):Play()
		task.wait(5)
	TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 1, TextStrokeTransparency = 1}):Play()
	end

EgizianoEG · November 7, 2022, 2:42pm

Im currently testing the method out. the tween has a delay argument at the end of the tween info

youbigown · November 7, 2022, 2:43pm

Wouldn’t that delay both the txt and stroke

EgizianoEG · November 7, 2022, 2:45pm

nope, the tween doesn’t yield the thread/scope that it is in

EgizianoEG · November 7, 2022, 2:47pm

you can try one of those methods:
speeding up the text stroke transparency to nearly sync with the text transparency:

	TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2.15), {TextStrokeTransparency = 0}):Play()
	TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 0}):Play()
	task.wait(4)
	TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2.15), {TextStrokeTransparency = 1}):Play()
	TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextTransparency = 1}):Play()

Delaying the text transparency little a bit:

    TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextStrokeTransparency = 0}):Play()
	TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0.28), {TextTransparency = 0}):Play()
	task.wait(4)
	TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2), {TextStrokeTransparency = 1}):Play()
	TS:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0.28), {TextTransparency = 1}):Play()

Unfortunately they both have the same effect as the original code. I also tried changing fonts, but it didn’t help either

EgizianoEG · November 7, 2022, 2:51pm

try to play with delay seconds or play with the speed of the stroke
edit: I guess there is a problem…

youbigown · November 7, 2022, 2:56pm

I played around, and it doesn’t change anything meaningfull from what I can see

EgizianoEG · November 7, 2022, 3:01pm

I think I didn’t understand your issue right

youbigown · November 7, 2022, 3:07pm

Here you can see the problem in studio. Once I change txt transparency to 0,9 it becomes very bright. In other words the txt stroke is literally taking over the text and acts like its transparency = 0 and is therefor fully white.
