How can I use TweenService with TextLabel texts?

#1

Well, I have already done something that I want to represent a TextLabel text (what I did try to increase or decrease the number), and well I want to do that if it is 10 of number (or another number) and it goes down to 5, in the text it looks like it goes down to 5. I guess what I want to do can be done with TweenService, or no idea

I don’t really understand what you are trying to make, but you can just use tween service for text labels like any part.

example:

wait(5)

local label = script.Parent -- The reference to the label
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")

local tweenI = TweenInfo.new(0.5) -- you can define different values, the first value is the duration, but look up the documentation for more

local goals =  {Transparency = 0.75, Position = UDim2.fromScale(0.5, 0.5), Size = UDim2.fromScale(0.75, 0.6)} -- these are the values that you will end up with when the tween is done, and what is tweening.

local tween = ts:Create(label, tweenI, goals) -- creating a tween, which can be played, cancelled, has events etc.
tween:Play() -- playing the tween

tween.Completed:Connect(function()
	print("The tween is done")

end)

Hope it helped!

Ah sorry, I don’t think I made myself understood. I will give an example: if I have a 10 value of NumberValue and it goes down to 5, I want a text from textLabel to represent the number but with the difference that it will do it like this: 10, 9, 8, 7 and so on until reaching 5

ah didn’t realize what you were asking for my mistake, but I think I got it now.

local label = script.Parent
local value = script.Parent.Parent.Value

-- the value currently visible
local prevV = value.Value
-- what value the last event started with, used to detect if a new event happened
local currentEventV 

value.Changed:Connect(function()
	-- the starting value of this event call
	local currentV = prevV
	
	-- setting the last event to this one
	currentEventV = currentV
	
	-- checking if the number is lower or higher than the current
	local dir = math.clamp(value.Value - prevV, -1, 1) 
	
	for i=currentV, value.Value, dir do
		
		if currentV ~= currentEventV then
			-- A new change has happened
			return 
		end
		
		label.Text = i
		prevV = i
		
		wait(0.25)
		
	end
end)
