Oops, you’re right. It’s probably better named PlayCount with that behavior.
I’ll alter the behavior on Sunday, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Repeat count behaves the same as TweenService now, with 3 RepeatCount being 4 plays, 0 being 1 play, and so on. -1 is still inf.
yeye i was like omg why isnt this working for like 2 hours then i figured out
Update: Minor bug fixes (clamping input to avoid edge cases) and behavior improvements (RepeatCount follows the TweenService behaviors).
i never understood some of the easing styles of the normal tweenservice i tried googling some of the new one you added with no result
@boatbomber I noticed some unexplainable weird behavior a code i wrote to update the cam position worked fine with the default TweenService but when i tried using your module (with the same setting i used before) it started behaving weirdly and the movement was jittery and very hard to look at
here is the code
--server-side
game:GetService('RunService').Heartbeat:Connect(function()
UpdateCamEvent:FireAllClients(GetBoundingBox(Targets))
end)
--client with normal TweenService (works fine)
local Tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new (0.5,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0)
local function UpdateCamFunc(info)
local Center = info[1]
local Size = info[2]
local Tween = TweenService:Create(camera,Tweeninfo,{["CFrame"]=CFrame.new(Center.X,Center.Y,0)+Offset})
Tween:Play()
end
UpdateCamEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(UpdateCamFunc)
--client with BoatTween (not so much)
local function UpdateCamFunc(info)
local Center = info[1]
local Size = info[2]
local BoatTweenInfo = {Time = 0.5;EasingStyle = "Quad";EasingDirection = "Out";Reverses = false;DelayTime = 0;RepeatCount = 0;StepType = "Heartbeat";Goal= {["CFrame"]=CFrame.new(Center.X,Center.Y,0)+Offset}};
local Tween = BoatTween:Create(camera,BoatTweenInfo)
Tween:Play()
end
UpdateCamEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(UpdateCamFunc)
here what it looks like
the gif is a bit laggy but if you tested it you will see for yourself
First of all, you’re setting Reverses, DelayTime, and RepeatCount to defaults, so there’s no point in doing that.
Secondly, I’ve just spent 10+ minutes trying to replicate your issue, but I can’t. It’s all behaving fine for me. It might be something else?
Thirdly, when moving the camera, I recommend using RenderStepped instead of Heartbeat. Part of the reason BoatTween exists is so that you can do that!
Finally, you’re using Tweens for that kind of camera, when you should really be using springs. Feel free to DM me if you want help setting that up, because your current method is wasteful and not ideal.
Edit: Resolved in DMs. Showed him the basics of springs and implemented it into his camera system.
I have a question! Two of the linked complaints mention lag. Is this module more performant than Roblox’ TweenService because of the event customization? As in Stepped and RenderStepped are less resource intensive than the locked Heartbeat with Roblox’s service?
That’s actually an interesting question, because “lag” here can be applied to two sides of this situation.
Visual lag is when the object moves kinda choppy. TweenService uses Heartbeat, which fires less often, so objects can looks more stuttery due to the lower refresh rate.
Actual lag is when you’re doing framelocked operations that take longer than 16 milliseconds, leading to FPS rendering below 60.
BoatTween allows you to choose between Heartbeat and the Steppeds, so you can remove the visual lag, but if you’re tweening a lot at once then you risk running into actual lag eventually.
BoatTween gives power to the user, allowing you to make the tradeoffs you desire.
W0W. Very interesting module. I’ll definitely experiment with this!
Hello. I have some suggestions:
First of all. Can i control the direction of cframes or rotation since it’s a periodical value. it can rotate either from the negative or positive side. and with cframe tweening, the direction was unexpected. at least to my knowledge.
Secondly. can you provide us with a function that you can supply it with a number from 0 to 1. and it gives you the resulted properties values without needing to tween. or in another word, being able to change the time position of the tween playback.
However the modules looks so cool, thank you so much. i wish you take my suggestions into considerations so i can use it for my plugins
Will you ever make a version of your module for roact?
Oh my god lol, what does that even mean? I know a decent amount of scripting but my god what does ANY of that mean?
It’s just a function that lerps a Color3 value. Basically, you give it 2 Color3 values: one as the beginning value, and the other as the ending value. That function then returns another function, in which you give the value between 0 and 1 to get the percentage of the transition there.
For example: If I wanted to lerp a Color3 from (0, 0, 0) to (1, 1, 1), and I inputted 0.5, I’d get the Color3 halfway between the beginning and ending Color3 values, which would be (0.5, 0.5, 0.5).
local BeginningColor = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
local EndingColor = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
local Interpolation = Lerps.Color3(BeginningColor, EndingColor)
print(Interpolation(0.5)) -- Output: 0.5, 0.5, 0.5
If you’re still confused on lerps and the process of interpolation, I found a nice article that explains it quite well.
Hi @boatbomber, thank you for sharing your resources!
I also have a feature request:
BoatTween is 4 ModuleScripts, a parent with 3 children.
Source Code:
BoatTween (because TweenService2 was taken)
by boatbomber (Zack Ovits)
© 2020
API:
function BoatTween:Create(Object,Data)
returns a Tween object
Params:
- Object
The instance that is having it's properties tweened
- Data
A dictionary of the various settings of the tween
{
number Time = Any positive number
How long the tween should take to complete
string EasingStyle = Any TweenStyle from the list below
The style that the tween follows
(Note: Uses strings instead of Enum.EasingStyle to allow us to add styles that Roblox doesn't support)
List of available styles:
Linear Quad Cubic
Quart Quint Sine
Expo Circ Elastic
Back Bounce Smooth
Smoother RidiculousWiggle RevBack
Spring SoftSpring Standard
Sharp Acceleration Deceleration
StandardProductive EntranceProductive ExitProductive
StandardExpressive EntranceExpressive ExitExpressive
FabricStandard FabricAccelerate FabricDecelerate
UWPAccelerate MozillaCurve
string EasingDirection = "In" or "Out" or "InOut" or "OutIn"
The direction for the TweenStyle to adhere to
number DelayTime = 0 -> math.huge
The amount of time before the tween begins playback after calling :Play() on the tween
(Note: doesn't affect :Resume() calls)
number RepeatCount = -1 -> math.huge
How many times the tween should repeat with -1 being infinity
(Note: will wait the DelayTime in between replaying)
boolean Reverses = false or true
Whether the tween should reverse itself after completion
(note: Waits the DelayTime before reversing)
table Goal = dictionary
A dictionary where the keys are properties to tween and the values are the end goals of said properties
You may tween any property with value of the following types:
number boolean CFrame
Color3 UDim2 UDim
Ray NumberRange NumberSequenceKeypoint
PhysicalProperties NumberSequence Region3
Rect Vector2 Vector3
string StepType = "Stepped" or "Heartbeat" or "RenderStepped"
The event of RunService for the tween to move on
}
function Tween:Play()
Plays the tween, starting from the beginning
function Tween:Stop()
Stops the tween, freezing it in its current state
function Tween:Resume()
Plays the tween, starting from current position and time
function TweenObject:Destroy()
Clears connections, stops playback, destroys objects
property Tween.Instance
The object being tweened
property Tween.PlaybackState
An Enum.PlaybackState representing the Tween's current state
event Tween.Stopped
Fired when a Tween ends from the :Stop() function
event Tween.Completed
Fired when a Tween ends due to :Play() being completed
event Tween.Resumed
Fired when a Tween is played through the :Resume() function

I think the statement is pretty self explanatory
Thanks for your efforts.
You can format your code to display correctly by Using the </> button or change it to

By using 3 ` at the start and end
I used that button, but apparently it only inserts one ` at beginning and end. Have edited those two replies to use ``` now.
Not a question, was pointing out the reason is “because you want to”.
A very nice resource for smooth tweening, especially on the server.
Appreciate the resource, and I will experiment with it in larger projects soon!
Maybe even games like No-Scope Sniping and Infinite Autocorrecy can use it???
I want a part to follow a track of bricks. I also want to decelerate on a specific duration to a specific duration, is that possible with this module? If so, how?
