Property changing issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m working on a project right now and it involves spleef parts, I want it to fade slowly into being fully transparent however the way ive done it is where it slowly fades after being touched by a player but its really buggy if the player doesnt instantly move off the part

#2

Mind showing us your code? That would help.

#3 
spleef = script.Parent
spleef.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
wait (wait time)

and then change the property of the part, its fully working its just the transparency fading which isn’t.

#4

Please show us the whole thing, so we could understand better

#5

thats it, the rest is just transparency = 0.8 / 0.6 / 0.4 / 0.2 / 0 / cancollide = false

I believe this is what you are attempting to create:

local spleefParts = [The folder or model of where ever your “spleef parts” are located]

for i, part in pairs(spleefParts) do
      local deBounce = false
      part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
           local player = game:GetService(“Players”):GetPlayerFromCharcter(hit)
           if (player and deBounce == false) then 
                   deBounce = true
                   While part.Transparency > 0 do
                   part.Transparency -= 0.1
                   task.wait(0.1)
           end
    end
deBounce = false
      end)
end

From what I have seen of your code, if the player walks over the part, it’ll constantly attempt to fade the part.

I apologize for my indenting, I am currently on a phone, which makes indenting difficult.

change this line to part.Transparency += -0.1
or use TweenService

edit: i thought i was replying to post owner

I have never seen it done like this before. Why should I do it like that. Yeah I guess you could tween it, but phone… Too much to type.

What you’ll want to use is a .Touched connection so when the part is touched, it activates a function and then disconnect the .Touched connection or add a cooldown variable.

Then you can create a Tween with TweenService:Create(instance, tweenInfo, {propertyTable}) to tween the touched part’s transparency.

Now you want to use a TweenBase:Completed() connection to wait until the transparency Tween is finished, and once it is finished, you can change the part’s CanCollide Property to false and disconnect the connection.
