llSetLinkAlpha help

If you made it all in one state you probably had a chance to make it work smoothly.
All that state changing takes server time and it is unpredictable to say how much.

Does the code compile at all? It certainly needs cleaning!

lol yea I know it's pretty ugly for anyone who understands code. I did try though at one point sticking putting parts of it in one state together like this 

 counter = counter + gap;            llSetLinkAlpha(1, 0.0, ALL_SIDES);llSetLinkAlpha(2, 1.0, ALL_SIDES); state two;

 but I thought about that fade idea and just found this code here which looks like it would definitely do the trick if I could figure out how to make it do ping pong movement fading in an out from one prim to the next and backwards of course.
