Why is this loop not working?

Hello fellow developers, I wish to make a few parts to dissapear in order then to reappear from the starting order. The script works but it doesn’t loop even though I have added a while True do loop. Got any suggestions on what I can do?

Script is below:

local folder = workspace.dister:GetChildren()
while true do
for _, v in pairs(folder) do
v.Transparency = 1
v.Anchored = false
wait(3)
v.Transparency = 0
v.Anchored = true
end
wait()
end

    v.Transparency = 1
    v.Anchored = false
    wait(3)
    v.Transparency = 0
    v.Anchored = true
    wait()
end

I want them to repeat though. So I want them to appear, dissappear and repeat

I would guess that the problem is not what you think it is. Questions:

  • Are the parts visible prior to the initial loop start?
  • Do you only see boop-boop-boop… parts disappearing, and not boop-boop-boop parts appearing?
  • Is there any error in the output?
  • Are you sure the parts are not falling through the ground?
  • Do you have your Transparency settings reversed?
  • Is this in its own script?
  • Did you paste in the code here exactly as it is written?

I think if you can answer all of these questions correctly, you’ll find your answer.

code: 
local folder = workspace.dister:GetChildren()
while wait() do
  for _, v in pairs(folder) do
    v.Transparency = 1
    v.Anchored = false
    wait(1)
  end
wait(3)
  for _, v in pairs(folder) do
    v.Transparency = 0
    v.Anchored = true
    wait(1)
  end
end

  1. Yes the parts are visible when the script is executed. The loop however does not work.
  2. I only see the parts disappear rather appearing.
  3. There is no error inputed on the output.
  4. That I do not know because it disappears first. That’s how I set the script as.
  5. I’m pretty sure they aren’t reversed
  6. Yes it is. It’s placed in ServerScriptService.
  7. Yes I pasted it exactly. I will paste it again underneath.

local folder = workspace.dister:GetChildren()
while true do
for _, v in pairs(folder) do
v.Transparency = 1
v.Anchored = false
wait(3)
v.Transparency = 0
v.Anchored = true
wait()
end
end

Else you can use a tween with repeat set to -1

That code has the same results as before. It disappears but then doesn’t reappear.

I saw anchored set to false, are the parts set to true for CanCollide? Else it will fall through the ground

Just try temporarily commenting-out the v.Anchored = false
I’m not sure what you really want it to look like, but I’m guessing that @Aanggoodluck may be correct.

Excepted if the parts are CanCollide false when the anchor is false

The fact is, if the anchored is false when the CanCollide is false, part will be destroyed by HeightDestroyPart

And if it doesn’t respawn well that’s because part has been destroyed

I just realised!! My stupidity forgot the difference between Anchored and CanCollide. Thanks!
