Help making a open/exit button with tweening

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi,

Im trying to make something tween. How do I make it so that the first click will:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Parent.MainFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.07, 0, 0.276, 0),"Out", "Sine",1) 
end)

and the second time you click it goes back to where it was before.

If it’s hard to understand then well, what im saying is, when you click a button it will make “MainFrame” tween. Then when you click the button again it goes back. So its like an open and close button.

Create a Bool Variable that detects if the Button has been opened or not?

local Opened = false
local Button = script.Parent

Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    if Opened == true then
        Opened = false
 
        --Tween your Button here when you want to close it
    elseif Opened == false then
        Opened = true

        --Tween your Button here when you want to open it
    end
end)

I would have never thought of that. Thanks!

I also have a question @JackscarIitt.

why is it

instead of

if opened == false then
          Opened = true

since the statement starts at false.

I just did it at a random order, I mean you can change it however you’d like if you wanna start the false check first

It doesn’t matter regardless to the script

6

yes, but why does the statement start with the opposite? Like it says opened is false but why does it then state if opened == true? How did it become true? Where does it call it to be true?

Again, it really doesn’t matter for this scenario in the order you place your if statements cause your Opened variable would check if it’s either true or false (Some UI’s by default are set to false, which would make sense)

The thing here is that this

local Opened = false
local Button = script.Parent

Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    if Opened == true then
        Opened = false
 
        --Tween your Button here when you want to close it
    elseif Opened == false then
        Opened = true

        --Tween your Button here when you want to open it
    end
end)

Is literally the same as this

local Opened = false
local Button = script.Parent

Button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    if Opened == false then
        Opened = true
 
        --Tween your Button here when you want to open it
    elseif Opened == true then
        Opened = false

        --Tween your Button here when you want to close it
    end
end)

Both of these scripts will check if Opened is equal to true or false, then set it to its opposite so that it can Tween the other way when your MouseButton1Down event is fired again (Or when you click on the button), and it would set to its opposite yet again and vice versa

oh. That makes more sense. I thought that you were referring to the initial value.
