I know how to work with brick trans and such but how do I go about changing the decal tranparency? I know how to use it in a "while true do" but not a onTouch script.. (I'm quite new to scripting..)

Basic script -

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(p)
if p.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") then
script.Parent.Decal.Transparency = 0.5
wait(5)
script.Parent.Decal.Transparency = 0
end
end)

Does this help?

Yea but I want to understand it but I use EXTREMELY basic scripting still, such as..-

local brick = script.Parent
function onTouch(part)
brick.Transparency = 1
wait(1)
brick.Transparency = 0
end

brick.Touched:connect(onTouch)
--Obviously more lines than this and a little more compelx but you understand...

What you've put is fine. The if section just detects if it was a player that touched it.

Wait so what I did still works? I figured it wouldn't since it reffers to it as brick when it's a decal so I wasn't sure..

I just tested it... It didn't work? I might have done something wrong though (my basic script not yours)

It works but it will only set the brick transparency, not the decal transparency. To set the decal transparency, you'd have to put brick.Decal.Transparency = .5

If you've named your decal something else, you'll have to change the word decal above to whatever you've named the decal. You will have to make sure that the brick only has one decal.

Also, I put this script in but I think it's CanCollided constantly...

local brick = script.Parent
function onTouch(part)
brick.CanCollide = false
wait(.000005)
brick.Cancollide = true
end

brick.Touched:connect(onTouch)

That will work fine too. You don't need the wait to be like that though. If you're just wanting to make sure it runs properly by putting a wait in, you don't actually need it. If you wanted a timed door, you need the wait to be longer.

I wouldn't say noob. That would be my brother who has no clue on where to begin scripting. XD

It's for like pick a path kind of obby thing, got bored so decided to try scripting something like that. (If you don't know you can make your camera look through non-CanCollided objects and if it is CanCollided your camera can't go through it, whereas my camera goes straight through that path peice.)

I use lava. That stops people from using the camera and hat cheats. >=D
My lobby randomly picks paths for each player, that means that you can't follow people either. XD

I made that decal thing put in a troll face that slowly fades away (.1 trans per .2 seconds AKA 2 seconds) if you pick the wrong path it will show up.

Wait is there a way to script a brick so if it's a non-humanoid object touching it, it CanCollides for like .1 second? :D

I don't think you want to go into it just yet. It uses IntValues and the math.rrandom function. I have saved a copy of it to my models on roblox, it's not public domain though.

A death script is...

brick = script.Parent
onTouch(part)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) then
part.Parent:BreakJoints()
end
end

If your script does work I suppose I can copy it and then edit the words a little and there you go, it will CanCollide if someone touches it.
