[Solved] Set opacity of a group to 50 using variable

Hello !

I created a simple function that aims to change the opacity of a block from 100 to 50 by using a variable.
I tested the function and there is a problem : the opacity of my block doesn’t change…
All the parts of my blocks work individually but not when I put them together…

If anyone can help me, it would be most welcome !

Here is my block:

Hi, welcome to Thunkable!

What is the starting rgba value for that group’s background color?

Just to be clear: setting the opacity for a group is only going to affect the background color of the group. It’s not going to affect the components inside the group. At least that’s my assumption based on what I know about groups. It would be nice if it did affect all embedded components.

Can you post a link to a simple project that demonstrates the issue you’re seeing?

The Group component has its own opacity option. Use this one not the opacity of the color.

I only see “touch opacity” and changing that doesn’t seem to do anything. Where are you seeing a group opacity property?

This code fades the background color:

Yes, this is the one. If you set the touch opacity to 100 then when you click on the group object it will not reveal what’s under it.

This is a new addition.

You can set it in the blocks and in the design panel as well! :slight_smile:

Right but this is only related to a touch/click event, yes? So if you wanted to fade the opacity of a group without detecting a touch, you couldn’t.
