Can only tween objects in the workspace

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I’m trying to make it so when the game ends a frame tweens in, it works if the player hasn’t died, but if the player has died, but has respawned it says “Can only tween objects in the workspace”.

–Local script in StarterPlayerScripts

local gameEndedUI = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Countdown"):WaitForChild("GameEnded")

appearUIS.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	player.PlayerGui.Countdown.Timer.Visible = true
	wait(gameConfigs.MainSettings.GameTime)
	endGame:FireServer()
	wait(0.5)
	player.PlayerGui.Countdown.Timer.Visible = false
	gameEndedUI:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.304, 0,0.201, 0),"In","Bounce",0.5)
	if player.PlayerStats.HasWon == true then
		gameEndedUI.WinLose.Text = "You Win!"
		gameEndedUI.WinLose.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0,255,0)
	elseif player.PlayerStats.HasWon == false then
		gameEndedUI.WinLose.Text = "You Lose!"
		gameEndedUI.WinLose.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
	end
end)```

Script that fires the appearUIS event:

```lua
teleportPlayers.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, gameStatus)
	if gameStatus == true then
		UIEvent:FireAllClients()
		for i, player in pairs(players:GetChildren()) do
			if player.Character then
				local humanoidRootPart = player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
				humanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(potentialSpawns[math.random(1, #potentialSpawns)])
				player:WaitForChild("PlayerStats"):WaitForChild("InGame").Value = true
			end
		end
	elseif gameStatus == false then
		for i, player in pairs(players:GetChildren()) do
			if player.Character then
				local humanoidRootPart = player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
				humanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(mainSpawn.Position)
			end
		end
	end
end)

endGame.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	isGame.Value = false
	for i, player in pairs(players:GetChildren()) do
		if player.PlayerStats.InGame == true then
			player.PlayerStats.HasWon.Value = true
		end
	end
	wait(0.5)
	for i, player in pairs(players:GetChildren()) do
		player.PlayerStats.InGame.Value = false
	end
end)```

is reset on spawn disabled?

The function will still run after the player dies so naturally if you don’t have ResetOnSpawn off like the above post outlines then the Gui won’t exist in the DataModel. The function thus will attempt to tween something that doesn’t exist in the DataModel which’ll fail.

You could also just use TweenService instead. Tweens are tied to an instance. Instead of using wait though, use the delay parameter in TweenInfo.
