Help with TweenService again

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am using TweenService to tween a gui and I notice that if I spam click to play the Tween both tweens will overwrite. Currently I don’t know how to fix it so where one tween plays at a time. Any help thanks.

Have you tried checking if any of the tweens are playing prior to triggering another tween?

#3

How do you check if one of the tweens is in progress?

#4
#5

Maybe try adding a debounce with the text button. It should prevent players from spamming the button and give time for the tween to play out

#6

So for the debounce I make it as long as the tween?

#7

Yes. It will give time for the tween to play and not overlap

#8

You can use Tween.Completed to wait:

local db = false
local tween = --define here
local TextButton = -- define here
TextButton.Activated:Connect(function()
     if db == false then 
        db = true
        tween:Play()
        tween.Completed:Wait()
        db = false
     end
end)

It isn’t working is there anything wrong with my code?

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
if db == false then
db = true
forthtween:Play()
forthtween.Completed:Wait()
backtween:Play()
db = false
end
end)

Instead of using TweenService for GUI, use GuiObject:TweenSize OR GuiObject:TweenPosition. These functions have an override argument which you can set as false which will prevent animations from overriding.

#11

How do I set the argument to false

#12

If you read the docs it there should be all the parameters required. But, I will show an example:

textButton:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1,1,1,1),Enum.EasingDirection.Out,Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic,1,false)

FirstParameter: The End position in UDim2
SecondParameter: The easing direction (which direction the gui should tween to In, Our or InOut)
ThirdParameter: The easing style (The animation type Linear, Cubic, Bounce )
FourthParameter: The time it takes to finish the animation in seconds
FifthParameter: Whether this animation should override other playing animations

#13

I read the document but how do I use them to run 1 tween then another without overwriting

#14

I think what your trying to do is only play one tween at a time. To do this you can check the tween PlaybackState. This will check what the tween is doing. (ex: if tween1.PlaybackState ~= Enum.PlaybackState.Playing then tween2:Play())
