Stopping a tween

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So when getting close to a part and then going far back and go close again, the close tween would still be playing and the gui would be disabled:

function module.TweenOpen()
	print("open")

	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Back, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
	local tween = TweenService:Create(UIScale, tweenInfo, {Scale = 1})
	tween:Play()
end

function module.TweenClose()
	print("close")

	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)
	local tween = TweenService:Create(UIScale, tweenInfo, {Scale = 0})
	tween:Play()

	tween.Completed:Connect(function()
		gui.Enabled = false
		gui.Adornee = nil
	end)
end

I have tried to wrap a coroutine and to close the coroutine when the module.TweenOpen() runs and also tried to create a variable at the start of the script called “tween” but that didn’t work either.

You could have a variable for the tween that is playing and when the function is called check if there is a tween already if so cancel that one and set the current tween to nil, and set it to nil to on the .Completed event

#3

What exactly is the issue? I don’t really understand.

#4

just do tween:pause() (char limit [everyone loves it yayy])

#5

or owerwrite the old tween (char limit [everyone still loves it yayy])

#6

Thats what I tried:

local tween

function module.TweenOpen()
	print("open")
	
	if tween then
		tween:Pause()
		tween = nil
	end

	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Back, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
	tween = TweenService:Create(UIScale, tweenInfo, {Scale = 1})
	tween:Play()
end

function module.TweenClose()
	print("close")

	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)
	tween = TweenService:Create(UIScale, tweenInfo, {Scale = 0})
	tween:Play()

	tween.Completed:Connect(function()
		gui.Enabled = false
		gui.Adornee = nil
	end)
end
#7

what happens (char limit [why])

#8

Same thing. the tween.Completed would still run.

#9

just delete the pause (char limit[lol])

#10

Have you also tried using :Cancel() or :Destroy()

if the variable is overwritten its automaticly deleted

#12

so just don’t use pause (char limit[…])

#13

I just tried that but that wouldn’t work.

#14

if im not wrong cancel resets the tween

Have you also tried using :Cancel() or :Destroy()

#15

Whats the issue exactly?

#16

then try cancel (cahr limit[looooooooooooooool])

#17

Yeah i myself would Destroy it but one gotta check the options

#18

I don’t want the tween to reset. When going close to the egg, it would print “done” even though the close tween doesn’t play.

#19

you have to enable the ui again when it opens

and leave the cancel out

Its in a different client script:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local Eggs = workspace:WaitForChild("Eggs")

local EggDisplayGui = script:WaitForChild("EggDisplayGui")
local EggDisplayModule = require(script:WaitForChild("EggDisplayModule"))

local NearestEgg = script:WaitForChild("NearestEgg")

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local nearestEgg, nearestDistance = EggDisplayModule.GetNearestEgg()

	if nearestEgg and not NearestEgg.Value then
		NearestEgg.Value = nearestEgg

		EggDisplayGui.Adornee = nearestEgg.PrimaryPart
		EggDisplayGui.Enabled = true

		EggDisplayModule.TweenOpen()

	elseif not nearestEgg and NearestEgg.Value then
		NearestEgg.Value = nil
		EggDisplayModule.TweenClose()
	end
end)
