Help!

I don't understand why the PartSizeMax cannot be 0.1. Are decimals not usable in this case? If so, why, and what other options are there? Any other tips for making this better are welcome as well!! I'm very very new to lua.

local PartSizeMax = 1
local PartSpreadMax = 50
local function ballAnim(part)
    local PartSizemodifier = math.random(0.1, PartSizeMax)
    for count = 1, 50 do
        part.Transparency = count / 50
        part.Size = Vector3.new((PartSizemodifier * count), (PartSizemodifier *  count), (PartSizemodifier *  count))
        task.wait(0.01)
    end
    part:Destroy()
end

while true do
    local MyPart = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
    MyPart.CanCollide = false
    MyPart.Shape = "Ball"
    MyPart.Anchored = true
    MyPart.Position = Vector3.new(math.random((PartSpreadMax * -1), PartSpreadMax), 0, math.random((PartSpreadMax * -1), PartSpreadMax))
    MyPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium blue")
    MyPart.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
    
task.spawn(ballAnim, MyPart)
task.wait(0.1)
end```l

This is my first ever script btw lol

Just toying around trying to get used to variables.

I dont see why it shouldnt work. But what you're trying to do here kind of confused me.

for count = 1, 50 do
        part.Transparency = count / 50
        part.Size = Vector3.new((PartSizemodifier * count), (PartSizemodifier *  count), (PartSizemodifier *  count))
        task.wait(0.01)
    end

Are you getting any errors? Decimals are usable in this case.

It's kind of supposed to be an animation, but I don't know how to smoothly change an object's attributes so i stitched this together using a tutorial for one of those bricks in obbies that fade along with some imagination

[weary copper]

oh so you want the size of the ball to animate?

gotcha

if these are unanchored balls they arent going to do what you intend

the size is adjusted from the center of the ball

so it will just grow into the ground if its a ball on the ground

but what exactly is going on in your case?

[charred flame]

while true do
    local MyPart = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
    MyPart.CanCollide = false
    MyPart.Shape = "Ball"
    MyPart.Anchored = true```

They are anchored tho

[charred flame]

Well, as long as I have the PartSizeMax variable at 1, it works as intended. it looks like lots of bubbles getting bigger and fading, almost like popping, I guess. However, when I set that same variable to e.g 0.1, nothing spawns in at all.

And no, no error messages

[weary copper]

yeah nothing happens because of this line of code

local PartSizemodifier = math.random(0.1, PartSizeMax)

** You are now Level 9! **

[weary copper]

if you set it to 0.1

youre basically saying "get a random value between 0.1 and 0.1"

[charred flame]

OH

RIGHT

THANKS OMG

How'd I miss that

[weary copper]

np

[charred flame]

LOL

ouuuufhhh......

except that apparently didn't solve it

[weary copper]

whats up?

[charred flame]

I tried everything between 0.2 and 0.9, and none of them work

This is getting pretty complicated for such a small problem though, so I'll just rewrite it in another way :D

SOLVED!
