Hi Other Developers,
Here is my code:

while Player.PlayerGui.LoadingScreen.Background.BackgroundTransparency < 1 do
    task.wait()
end

even after the Background is transparent the while loop still doesn’t break.

more info:

  • This code is in a serverscript
  • uh idk if you want more info about the setup the tell me

Thanks a lot.

If you move it to the client it should work. I think I had this problem before and it fixed when I tested it on the client.

can’t really move it to client, because then I have to change like 300 lines of code.

I mean you can just make a remote event for that and fire it when it gets to that point in the code and make it repeat until its transparent

#5

Its super hacky but it might work

#6

If you’re trying to change (or detect changes of) a client object, like a Gui, then the behavior might not be replicating to the client/server the way you expect. Try using a RemoteEvent to send a message to the server from a LocalScript, using the LocalScript to detect when something changes on the client object (the Gui.)

#7

The transparency only changes for the client, so the Server wouldn’t see it. Like others mentioned, you would probably have to use RemoteEvents or somehow server-client communication

#8

If you are changing the transparency on the client then the server will not see that.

I changed Size on client and it does not replicate to server

So you would either have to
A: Change to a local script
B: Use Remotes
