Not sure if this helped

playB.MouseButton1Click:Connect(playClick)

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.

#23

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

#24

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
#25

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

#26

Wouldn’t that delay both the txt and stroke

#27

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

#28

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()
#29

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

#30

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

#31

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

#32

I think I didn’t understand your issue right

#33

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.

Did you try a UIStroke for the text label?
Like instead of the textlabel’s stroke

it will be separate from the textlabel with its own rendering

#36

Glad I know that exists now. Thank you for the help.

No problem, it’s nice to know that it solved your issue!

Why don’t you try using Tweens instead of loops?

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

TweenService:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(0.6), {TextTransparency = 0}):Play()
TweenService:Create(guideTxt,  TweenInfo.new(0.6), {TextStrokeTransparency = 0}):Play()

wait(5)

TweenService:Create(guideTxt, TweenInfo.new(0.6), {TextTransparency = 1}):Play()
TweenService:Create(guideTxt,  TweenInfo.new(0.6), {TextStrokeTransparency = 1}):Play()
#39

loops are generally easier to make and edit (for me)
ofc I use tweens if it’s 3d, but single properties like transparency I prefer loop
