Gui not tweening properly

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I have this script to tween a gui when a admin or mod announces something

script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
local frame = script.Parent.Parent
local topBar = script.Parent.Parent.TopBar
local bottomBar = script.Parent.Parent.BottomBar
local tweenTime = 0.5

local noVisible = {}
noVisible.Position = UDim2.new(0.5,0,.488,0)
noVisible.Size = UDim2.new(0,0,.025,0)

local halfvisible = {}
halfvisible.Position = UDim2.new(.31,0,.488,0)
halfvisible.Size = UDim2.new(.379,0,.025,0)

local visible = {}
visible.Position = UDim2.new(.31,0,.25,0)
visible.Size = UDim2.new(.379,0,.5,0)

local barVisible = {}
barVisible.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 0.05, 0)

local barNotVisible = {}
barNotVisible.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)

game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayGlobalGui.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(message)
	--tween and everything here
	frame.Position = noVisible.Position
	frame.Size = noVisible.Size
	frame.Visible = true
	
	frame:TweenSizeAndPosition(halfvisible.Size, halfvisible.Position, Enum.EasingDirection.In, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, tweenTime)
	wait(tweenTime)
	
	frame:TweenSizeAndPosition(visible.Size, visible.Position, Enum.EasingDirection.In, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, tweenTime)
	wait(tweenTime)
	
	script.Parent.Text = message
	for i=1,0,-0.1 do
		script.Parent.TextTransparency = i
		script.Parent.Parent.TitleText.TextTransparency = i
		script.Parent.Parent.PoppinLogo.ImageTransparency = i
		wait()
	end
	wait(5)
	for i=0,1,0.1 do
		script.Parent.TextTransparency = i
		script.Parent.Parent.TitleText.TextTransparency = i
		script.Parent.Parent.PoppinLogo.ImageTransparency = i
		wait()
	end
	
	frame:TweenSizeAndPosition(halfvisible.Size, halfvisible.Position, Enum.EasingDirection.In, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, tweenTime)
	wait(tweenTime)
	
	frame:TweenSizeAndPosition(noVisible.Size, noVisible.Position, Enum.EasingDirection.In, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, tweenTime)
	wait(tweenTime)
	
	script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
end)

However sometimes it tweens properly (shown below)

And sometimes it does this

I am not sure why it does this, does anyone know? Is it a problem with my code or roblox?
Also, there are no errors when it fails to tween properly

I believe it is because of wait(tweenTime). The thing is, the Tween can actually take a little bit more than tweenTime to finish since the time it was called, so there are two options you could do:

  1. change “wait(tweenTime)” to wait(tweenTime + .1) or something small like that.
  2. Set the second tween as a Callback to the first tween, meaning the script will run the second tween right when the first one ends.

I believe this should be the issue with your script, so let me know if this fix works or not.

#3

I will try that, do you think setting tween override or something like that would work too? (the variable you declare after the time)

#4

Oh yeah, if you set them to “true” then the second tween will just override the tiny amount of tweeting first one has left to do, so that might work. Give it a try and check it out.
