Why doesn't this change the ImageTransparency?

Title says it all, don’t know what I’ve messed up. Top part of the screen works just fine, the bottom one is the thing that doesn’t work.

There’s a better way to write out your loop over misusing the break condition, by the way.

for x = seconds, 0, -1 do
    if x <= 0 then
        countdown.Text = "Click the button above to continue"
    else
        countdown.Text = ("Please wait %i %s"):format(x, x == 1 and "second" or "seconds")
       wait(1)
    end
end

You’re essentially waiting that on extra second so we take advantage of it to put the closing remark. The loop terminates afterward because it has no more iterations to run through and it’s immediate due to a lack of a wait. In the case that the timer is not 0, we just format the text accordingly and then sleep the thread for one second.
