Alpha represents the transparency of a gui element. This function allows retrieval of a gui element's current alpha.

Syntax

float guiGetAlpha ( element guiElement )

Required Arguments

  • guiElement: The gui element in which you want to retrieve the alpha of.

Returns

This function returns a positive integer in between 0 and 1 of the gui element's current alpha, or false if it could not be retrieved.

Example

This example provides a guiFade function, which allows you to fade in/out a GUI. 

function guiFade( gui, state )
	if state == "in" then -- This state will fade IN the GUI
	fadeIn = setTimer(guiFade, 50, 1, gui, state) -- We loop the function to make it lower the alpha each 50 ms
	alpha = guiGetAlpha(gui) -- We get the GUI's actual alpha after each loop
	guiSetAlpha(gui, alpha - 0.1) -- We set the GUI's actual alpha after each loop
	if alpha == 0 then -- If the loop reached "0"...
		killTimer(fadeIn) -- ... We kill the timer
		fadeIn = nil -- And to make sure it doesn't exist anymore, we set it to nil
		end
	elseif state == "out" then -- This state will fade OUT the GUI
		fadeOut = setTimer(guiFade, 50, 1, gui, state) -- We loop the function to make it higher the alpha each 50 ms
		alpha = guiGetAlpha(gui) -- We get the GUI's actual alpha after each loop
		guiSetAlpha(gui, alpha + 0.1) -- We set the GUI's actual alpha after each loop
		if alpha == 1 then -- If the loop reached "1"...
			killTimer(fadeOut) -- ... We kill the timer
			fadeOut = nil -- And to make sure it doesn't exist anymore, we set it to nil
		end
	end
end
