I am trying to make a welcome gui for my place. It will not be huge but I want it to work. I am making it a little at a time. This is the first part of it. It is supposed to make the "Welcome To" appear. But it doesn't do anything. and the output says absolutely nothing is wrong with it.
btw this is the whole script so far.

gui = script.Parent
text = gui.TextLabel
guit = gui.BackgroundTransparency
textt = text.TextTransparency

wait (2)
textt = 0.9
wait(0.2)
textt = 0.8
wait(0.2)
textt = 0.7
wait(0.2)
textt = 0.6
wait(0.2)
textt = 0.5
wait(0.2)
textt = 0.4
wait(0.2)
textt = 0.3
wait(0.2)
textt = 0.2
wait(0.2)
textt = 0.1
wait(0.2)
textt = 0

I have never used loop but you mean like textt = textt - 0.1 the loop it 9 or 10 times?

bu that would do exactly this but it does nothing.

I don't care if my scripts are long as long as they work. I have a script that inserts 6 items then changes the stats of all of them seperately. I know I could probably use tables for it but I don't know how to do tables.

for i = 1,10 do
textt = txtt - 0.1
end

Let's see the problem now.

inside a frae named "Blocker" and inside that frame is a textlabel named "TextLabel" I will try your script though see if that fixes it.

You might wanna try adding a wait at the start. It takes a while for everything to settle down. Try using prints to see where it stops. Put a print after 2-3 lines.

you mean before the variables? that might work but i don't think that is the problem otherwise the output would say "TextLabel is not a valid ember of Blocker"

I will try it though and extending the wait before the text

The problem is that you can not rewrite a property like that. Let me rewrite it.

gui = script.Parent
text = gui.TextLabel
textt = text

for i = 1, 0, 0.1 do
textt.TextTransparency = i
wait(0.1)
end

How'd I forget that? I totally forgot you can't change it like that! You can only use it for reference.

so what you are saying is you can't have a variable referenced by a variable which was referenced by a variable?

ElectricBlaze, I know this is a little off topic (well a lot off topic) but do you know any other languages?

@greatest
No. You just can't tag properties.

tag = game.Workspace.Brick.Name
tag = "Hi"

You cannot do that.

tag = game.Workspace.Brick
tag.Name = "Hi"

You can do that.

oh nevermind I see what you say. I can't have a stat set as a variable.

That explains why my other script I was trying to make kept breaking.

@greatest - No, I'm saying you can't create a variable that equals a property and then change it/

@city - Yes, I do. I actually know a lot, but at least 5 of them I haven't used in years, and most likely forgot a lot of. I'm currently trying to master Java. :3

oh. so like
A = stat.Value

you can use it like

if A == 10 then

but you cant use it as

A = 10

Is that right?

still not working

The script now looks like this


gui = script.Parent
text = gui.welcome

for i = 1, 0, 0.1 do
text.TextTransparency = i
wait(0.1)
end

but it does nothing and the output still just says it is running but no errors.

I haven't used Python in years, but I remember it taking not long at all. It's also a good preparation for languages such as C++ or Java.

@greatest - Sorry, let me edit one thing:

gui = script.Parent
text = gui.welcome

for i = 1, 0, -0.1 do
text.TextTransparency = i
wait(0.1)
end
