Problem with NumberSequence beam!

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So recently I’ve been trying to make a flicking beam using transparency, for some reason, I’m getting the error: “NumberSequence: requires at least 2 keypoints”

How would I fix this?
Code:

while true do
script.Parent = NumberSequence.new{NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(.1,1)}
wait(.1)
end
#2

Try using parentheses () instead of brackets {}

Idk if this will actually help at all, I’m on mobile rn

#3

Code:

while true do
	script.Parent = NumberSequence.new(NumberSequenceKeypoint.new(.1,1))
	wait(.1)
end

Error: NumberSequence.new(): table of NumberSequenceKeypoints expected.

#4

Put a script in the part that has the beam and use this:

local Beam = script.Parent.Beam

while true do

Beam.Transparency = NumberSequence.new(0)

wait(math.random(0.01,0.1))

Beam.Transparency = NumberSequence.new(1)

wait(math.random(0.01, 1))

end

Also note that NumberSequence.new() doesn’t creat a random number like math.random()

#5

I was trying to go for more of a random transparency look such as (.1, .34, .5) not 1 and 0

#6

Then you could use Random:NextNumber.

local Random = Random.new()
print(Random:NextNumber(0, 1))
#7

May I have an example of this, and how I can use it?

#8

Here’s a page on Random

Random:NextNumber(firstNumber, LastNumber) will return a number between 0, and 1 or between the two numbers you give it. The two Integer’s are optional.

Random:NextInteger (first_number, last_number), will return a number between the two numbers given.

The two Integer’s are not optional.

Random.new() should be used before as a constructor variable. I also re-did the code I gave you:

local Beam = script.Parent.Beam

while true do

local RandomNumber = Random.new()

Beam.Transparency = NumberSequence.new(RandomNumber:NextNumber())

wait(math.random(0.01,0.1))

Beam.Transparency = NumberSequence.new(RandomNumber:NextNumber())

wait(math.random(0.01, 1))

end

Place that inside the part with the beam in it.

Hope this helped! :smile:
