like the gotoandstop idea(not my idea) it determines the amount of time taken to perform a task eg: script.Parent.Transparency = 1 {script.Parent.Transparency = 0 [taketime(5)]} this would take 5 seconds to gradually perform the operation of changing a bricks traansparency 10 seconds to write instead of 10 minutes, huge difference, wouldn't you agree? please take the time to understand this before commenting

script.Parent.Transparency = 1 wait(1) script.Parent.Transparency = .8 wait(1) script.Parent.Transparency = .6 wait(1) script.Parent.Transparency = .4 wait(1) script.Parent.Transparency = .2 wait(1) script.Parent.Transparency = 0 Is it really that hard? It doesn't take ten minutes. Write it out yourself. ~robloxkid08, the Guy who Gave the Zombie the TNT~

time writing that compared to taketime: taketime wins it is for the convenience of it, not the scripting part

Check this out. All scripts are inside the transparency door. Q = script.Parent.Value.Value function OnClicked() Q = 1 wait(10) Q = 0 DIFFERENT SCRIPT: Q = script.Parent.Value.Value Z = script.Parent while Q = 1 wait(1) Z.Transparency = Z.Transparency - .1 DIFFERENT SCRIPT: Q = script.Parent.Value.Value Z = script.Parent while Q = 0 wait(1) Z.Transparency = Z.Transparency + .1 ~robloxkid08, the Guy who Gave the Zombie the TNT~

My three scripts do what TakeTime does over a 10 second period of time, and they are just as flexible as TakeTime. Therefore, TakeTime is not necessary. (three scripts control a door that goes from nontransparent to transparent to nontransparent again over a 20 second time period) ~robloxkid08, the Guy who Gave the Zombie the TNT~

taketime seems easier for nonscripters like me
