Area popup system

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m currently trying to make a area system with a fancy tween in and out effect for coming in contact with the area. But when I enter another area the tweens become really buggy as it passes on from the previous tweens and the new ones.

I’m wondering if there’s a way to cancel the first tween so that it doesn’t do this (notice: i’m using a tween with a wait after it)

Example of a working system: Roblox - Gyazo

You can use tween:Stop(), but I’m not sure if that’s hat you want.

#3

You can cancel a tween by calling :Cancel(), I’d recommend placing the tweens in a table with variables that you can call to cancel it/play it.

#4

What about the waits? Wouldn’t that still interrupt the tweens

#5

I’d have to see the code to determine if it would interrupt.

#6

For my system the text fades even after you enter a new because the code keeps running after you’ve entered a new area so the transparency goes down

#7 
function NewLocation(RegionName)
	local Region = GetInfo[RegionName]
	local Main = script.Parent.Cover.main
	local Description = script.Parent.Cover.sub
	Main.Text = Region.title
	Description.Text = Region.subtext
	
	TweenService:Create(game.Lighting, TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {
		FogEnd = Region.fogend;
		FogColor = Region.fogcolor
	}):Play()
	
	for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.Base:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("TextLabel") then
			TweenService:Create(v, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {
				TextTransparency = 0;
				TextStrokeTransparency = 0.6
			}):Play()
		end
	end
	TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent.Base, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {
		Size = UDim2.new(0,Description.TextBounds.X,0,100)
	}):Play()
	task.wait(5)
	for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.Base:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("TextLabel") then
			TweenService:Create(v, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {
				TextTransparency = 1;
				TextStrokeTransparency = 1
			}):Play()
		end
	end
	TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent.Base, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {
		Size = UDim2.new(0,0,0,100)
	}):Play()
end

Sorry for the late response, something came up.

You could have a variable that checks which location they’re in and check inside of the function with a loop if it changes to cancel the code.

local CurrentLocation = nil
function NewLocation(RegionName)
	CurrentLocation = RegionName

	while (CurrentLocation == RegionName) do		
	--[[
     CODE
    task.wait(5)
    if (CurrentLocation ~= RegionName) then return end
     CODE
     ]]
	break
	end	
end

You will need to fadeout the current text for a fluid switch, just run the same code you use to hide everything, at the beginning. (I’d recommend giving the fade tween a variable so you can see when it completes to change the text to a new one)

Here is a quick demo I setup, it’s open source for anyone interested!
