#

what is the problem ? the platform isn't tranparent or is transparent instantly?

#

local function PlatformDropped()
    if platform.Transparency >= 100 then
        repeat
            platform.Transparency += 20
            task.wait()
        until platform.Transparency >= 100
    elseif then
        platform.Transparency = 100

    end


    end

game.Workspace.Platform.Touched:Connect(PlatformDropped)

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

the platform doesnt go transparent at all :/

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 4:53 PM

#

proper aurora ``` local function PlatformDropped() if platform.Transparency >= 100 then ...

And with this ?

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 4:53 PM

#

i havent tried that let me try that now thanks

#

couldyou explain whats different? and why you changed it? im sorry im asking a lot

#

hmm still no use :(

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 4:55 PM

#

repeat
platform.Transparency += 20
task.wait()
until platform.Transparency >= 100

+= is like
platform.Transparency = platform.Transparency +20
and task.wait() is to wait the next frame because if you dont do this the platoform is instantly transparent

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

unreal gorge hmm still no use :(

doesnt work?

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 4:56 PM

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

keen zenith <@344938196775337986> should work

omg it does! i dont understand how but it does!

keen zenith Mar 30, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

unreal gorge omg it does! i dont understand how but it does!

the line platform Transparency + 20 does not change the transparency of the platform

#

you needed to use the assignment operator = to set the transparency of the platform

#

and the elseif statement is not correct, because it doesn't have a corresponding `then

#

@unreal gorge glad i got everything working for you

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 4:59 PM

#

ty @keen zenith that explanation made sense! and ty @proper aurora for assisting!

keen zenith Mar 30, 2023, 5:00 PM

np if u have any more questions let us know

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:01 PM

keen zenith np if u have any more questions let us know

ty will do!

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:02 PM

keen zenith np if u have any more questions let us know

do you know how i could make the platform appear again

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:04 PM

#

platform.Transparency = 1

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:05 PM

#

OH i could use like wait and then that

#

ty

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:05 PM

#

proper aurora platform.Transparency = 1

where would i insert that

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:05 PM

#

when you want to make the part visible

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

so when the part is faded fully

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:07 PM

#

local platform = game.Workspace.Platform

keen zenith myb dis kid districted me from helping you out

its all good i was reading it, bro said chat gpt 💀

keen zenith Mar 30, 2023, 5:08 PM

#

proper aurora platform.Transparency = 1

or make a lil scirpt like this ```local platform = game.Workspace.Platform

local function PlatformDropped()
if platform.Transparency < 1 then
repeat
platform.Transparency = platform.Transparency + 0.2
wait()
until platform.Transparency >= 1
else
platform.Transparency = 1
wait(10)
platform.Transparency = 0
end
end

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:08 PM

#

?

#

why < 1?

keen zenith Mar 30, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

unreal gorge its all good i was reading it, bro said chat gpt 💀

chat gpt gives u examples

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

chat gpt is bad at roblox scripting

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

keen zenith chat gpt gives u examples

its nothing to be ashamed about, but bro didnt need to call anyone out

keen zenith Mar 30, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

proper aurora why < 1?

checks if the transparency of the platform is less than 1.

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

yes but it s useless

keen zenith Mar 30, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

unreal gorge its nothing to be ashamed about, but bro didnt need to call anyone out

even if i was i would be giving out false information scirpts

keen zenith Mar 30, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

proper aurora yes but it s useless

useless but works

#

or u just can do the transprant to 0

#

cant spell for my life

you can use tween service to make the transaprency slower

keen zenith Mar 30, 2023, 5:18 PM

wdym dark?

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:24 PM

proper aurora ``` local platform = game.Workspace.Platform local TweenService = game:GetServic...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:24 PM

#

yes please

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:24 PM

#

(add wait or just platform.Transprency = 1)

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:26 PM

#

@gentle scaffold can i quickly just sayhow would i make when its transparent you fall through it and when not you dont

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:26 PM

#

proper aurora ``` local platform = game.Workspace.Platform local TweenService = game:GetServic...

should works

#

you can change the
TweenInfo.new(0.5) to make the transprency slower

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

let me try dark because jaspers didnt work sadly

#

not a clue how tweens work tbh

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Tween

Tween

Tweens are used to interpolate the properties of instances. The Tween object
itself controls the playback of the interpolation. Creating and configuring
tweens is done with the Class.TweenService:Create() function. This is the
only way to create tweens. Instance.new cannot be used for this particular
object.

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

ok so @proper aurora first time it works but the second time you just fall straight through the platform :/

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:29 PM

local platform = game.Workspace.Platform
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

ill try darks then jasper

#

DARK IT WORKS!

#

ik im asking a lot but also when i duplicate the platform will the script work on the platforms i duplicated?

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

(setcancollide doesnt exist)

#

nop you have to change the platform refrence

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:31 PM

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

ty dark!

#

dark what does the _, mean?

keen zenith Mar 30, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

unreal gorge dark what does the _, mean?

da _, syntax in the for loop is used to ignore the first value returned by the pairs function

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

_ is a name for a useless variable
You can name it whatever you want like i, index etc

keen zenith Mar 30, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

example


for i, value in pairs(t) do
    print(i, value)
end

-- Output:
-- 1 10
-- 2 20
-- 3 30
-- and so on like 4 - 40

#

ight imma take a break

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

whats the t mean?

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

unreal gorge whats the t mean?

t is the table

unreal gorge Mar 30, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

oh ty dark

proper aurora Mar 30, 2023, 5:39 PM

t is just a variable name i can be Table (not table),Var etc

keen zenith Mar 30, 2023, 5:39 PM
