TweenService Background transparency not changing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve? Slowly change frame background transparency then FireServer() event

  2. What is the issue? frame is not even visible when playtesting/playing

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? i tried using the good old

frame.BackgroundTransparency = 0.35
wait()

But it wouldn’t work either.

local guicount = script:FindFirstChild("LamLantern")
guicount.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local player = script.Parent
local humanoid = player:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local frame = guicount:WaitForChild("Frame")
local morph = game.ReplicatedStorage.Lammy
local Goal = {}
Goal.Transparency = 0.35
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)


zone.localPlayerEntered:Connect(function(player)
	local morphed = player:FindFirstChild("Morphed")
	if morphed == true then return end
	if morphed == false then
	local tween = TweenService:Create(frame, tweenInfo, Goal)
	tween:Play()  
	tween.Completed:Wait()
	wait(2)
	morph:FireServer()
end
end)

The event fires the background frame doesn’t even appear (please note that the original bg transparency is 1 and i want it to slowly transition to 0.25)

1- Transparency should be BackgroundTransparency

2- your script:

You located guicount to PlayerGui if u want the frame first u need to locate the screengui then Frame
PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame

local guicount = script:FindFirstChild("LamLantern")
guicount.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local frame = guicount:WaitForChild("Frame") --error you must locate first the screengui then frame.

screengui

#8

I tried relocating the lamcount screengui in startergui but it still wouldnt work regardless.

#9

not startergui
StarterGui: is when a player joins the game clones the ui in it to PlayerGui

locate PlayerGui.

#10

Is the screen gui enabled and the frame visible?

#11

Yes it is enabled and frame is also visible.

#12

Try this:

local guicount = script:FindFirstChild("LamLantern")
guicount.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local player = script.Parent
local humanoid = player:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local playergui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local morph = game.ReplicatedStorage.Lammy
local Goal = {}
Goal.BackgroundTransparency = 0.35
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)


zone.localPlayerEntered:Connect(function(player)
	local morphed = player:FindFirstChild("Morphed")
	if morphed == true then return end
	if morphed == false then
	local tween = TweenService:Create(playergui:WaitForChild("LamLantern").Frame, tweenInfo, Goal)
	tween:Play()  
	tween.Completed:Wait()
	wait(2)
	morph:FireServer()
end
end)

ok then undo that one and replace:

local frame = guicount:WaitForChild("Frame")

with:

local frame = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("LamLantern"):WaitForChild("Frame")

and see if it’s working. Don’t forget to change Transparency to BackgroundTransparency.

yes TweenInfo.new(delay,options)
Example: TweenInfo.new(1) << u can change 1 to 0.5 , lower = more faster.
