Help with Tweens

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!
I’m writing a script that places a platform under your feet and follows your character but the Y only changes when you press Q and E. When you hold Q and E down it makes the platform move up and down but it was very clunky making it move 1 stud every 0.2 seconds. So now I’m trying to move the platform up and down with tweens. I’ve never used tweens before but followed a youtube video. Still no success. Nothing happens when I press Q and there are no errors in the console.

local platformMenu = options.Platform
local platformToggle = platformMenu.TextButton
local platformInput = platformMenu.TextBox
local platformEnabled = false
local function PlatformFunc()
	local platform = Instance.new("Part")	
	if platformEnabled then
		local charPos = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
		platform.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
		platform.Size = Vector3.new(0.2,5,5)
		platform.Anchored = true
		platform.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
		platform.CFrame = charPos.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, -2.5, 0)
		platform.Shape = Enum.PartType.Cylinder
		while platformEnabled == true do
			task.wait()
			platform.Parent = workspace
			local charRoot = Player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			platform.CFrame = CFrame.new(charPos.CFrame.X, platform.CFrame.Y, charPos.CFrame.Z) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(90))
			if platformEnabled == false then
				platform:Destroy()	
			end
		end
		local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
		local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.2, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.In, 0, false, 0)
		local tweenGoal = {platform.CFrame * CFrame.new(platformInput.Text, 0, 0)}
		local platformControl = TweenService:Create(platform,tweenInfo,tweenGoal)
		local function isKeyHeld(input)
			while UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.Q) and platformEnabled do
				platformControl:Play()
				--platform.CFrame = platform.CFrame * CFrame.new(platformInput.Text, 0, 0)
				--Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0 , platformInput.Text, 0)
				wait(0.2)
			end
			while UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.E) and platformEnabled do
				platform.CFrame = platform.CFrame * CFrame.new(- platformInput.Text, 0, 0)
				Player. Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0 , - platformInput.Text, 0)
				wait(0.2)
			end
		end
		UIS.InputBegan:Connect(isKeyHeld)
	end
end

Try replacing this with
local tweenGoal = {CFrame = platform.CFrame * CFrame.new(platformInput.Text, 0, 0)}

#3

this is a string value so wrap it with tonumber() to convert it to a valid datatype.

I believe this would just return CFrame.new() so obviously it wouldn’t work

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately still nothing : (

Platform.text is an integer value. The script was working before I tried turning it into a tween.
The script worked prior with just Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0 , platformInput.Text, 0) Unfortunately still can’t get it to work.
Appreciate your input!

perhaps offer a debug file and someone could better assist

Use RunService.RenderStepped instead of tweening

#8

no? the text property of a textbox does not return an integer
