Tweening upon death and respawn not working, no displayed errors

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making a script that fades the screen to black when you die, and then fades back out when you respawn, for a nice clean transition upon death. Unfortunately, I’m having trouble making it work. I reached the point where I’m no longer receiving any errors, but it still doesn’t work.

I have a script in ServerScriptService that fires to “Fade” event located in ReplicatedStorage. The local script embedded in the GUI itself does the rest of the work.

ServerScriptService – Regular Script

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Fade:FireClient(player, "unfade")
		char:WaitForChild('Humanoid').Died:Connect(function()
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Fade:FireClient(player, "fade")
		end)
	end)
end)

StarterGui - Local Script

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local fade = script.Parent.fade
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)

game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Fade").OnClientEvent:Connect(function(option)
	if option == "fade" then	
		local Tween = TweenService:Create(fade, tweenInfo, {BackgroundTransparency = 0})
		
	else
		local Tween2 = TweenService:Create(fade, tweenInfo, {BackgroundTransparency = 1})
	end
end)

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

You don’t seem to be playing the tweens, rather just creating them only, use the :Play() function on your tween variables

Tween:Play()

Tween2:Play()

Ah dang, I’ve dun goofed :joy:. Added the play functions, but only the death fade works. When you respawn, there’s no fade. I don’t want to keep for too long, but any ideas?

Hmm, could be something to do with the gui itself, does the GUI have ResetOnSpawn enabled? If so, try disabling it

With a little tweaking, that did the trick. Thanks for the help!
