Touch Event: Gui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I made a script where if a player touches the part, a gui appears and I tried to do it the other way around if the player leaves the part, the gui starts to disappear. Everything works but if I leave the part, the gui keeps showing up.

local part = script.Parent
local bool = part.On

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if plr then
		while true do
		    plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Image.ImageTransparency = plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Image.ImageTransparency - 0.1
			plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.SubTitle.TextTransparency = plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.SubTitle.TextTransparency - 0.1
			plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Title.TextTransparency = plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Title.TextTransparency - 0.1
			wait(0.1)
		end
	end
end)

part.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if plr then
		while true do
			plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Image.ImageTransparency = plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Image.ImageTransparency + 0.1
			plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.SubTitle.TextTransparency = plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.SubTitle.TextTransparency + 0.1
			plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Title.TextTransparency = plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Title.TextTransparency + 0.1
			wait(0.1)
		end
	end
end)

To disable a gui you just need to do GUI.Enabled = false. A while loop is not needed.

This is a different way, but I wanted to make her appear to be cooler instead of suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

You can use TweenService for that.

It works with visible? Only times that I used it was to move a part.

It works only with Transparency. Like any property like a number cframe vector3 and color3.

Alternatively you could use a for loop, which is very slightly more efficient than using tween service (when it comes to singal properties, like this use case). Try this:

First, replace this while loop:

Now, where that while loop was, add a for loop like this:

for i=0,1,0.1 do
    plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Image.ImageTransparency = plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Image.ImageTransparency + 0.1
	plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.SubTitle.TextTransparency = plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.SubTitle.TextTransparency + 0.1
	plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Title.TextTransparency = plr.PlayerGui.Sectors.S1.Title.TextTransparency + 0.1
	task.wait(0.1)
end

You could tween almost anything.

Using a for loop is actually worse. I tried using a rainbow color part script with a for loop and without one. The results were 6% CPU usage with for loop and 1% with tweens.

Ok yeah i was changing the color of like 30 parts but ok.

I’ve only ever benchmarked changing part transparency (comparing tween to for loops i mean) and the for loop was if I remember about 0.002 seconds faster. However it stops the thread, unlike a tween. So for this maybe you should use a tween or spawn a new thread.

I am using Processing power instead of time taken as a metric here since it doesn’t matter if a script takes 0.02 seconds to change transparency, but it does matter when you have 5% more CPU usage.

True, I messed up when wording what I said in my original reply, I should have said faster and not more efficient.
