How do I fix this tween error?

chrisby_bacon · May 13, 2021, 8:09pm

I wanted to make an area of my title screen where I credit tutorials, models, or scripts that I used in my game. However, when I want to use TextTransparency in a tween, I get an error.

local CreditsTitle = Tween:Create(CreditsTitle, TweenInfo.new(0.3), {CreditsTitle.TextTransparency = 0})

What am I doing wrong?
This is what the output states:

13:01:46.403  TweenService:Create no property named 'TextTransparency' for object 'Tween'  -  Client - MenuMain:62

Should just be TextTransparency. Also, it can’t be the same name CreditsTitle, because it thinks you want to tween a tween

chrisby_bacon · May 13, 2021, 8:11pm

Same error:

13:10:31.232  TweenService:Create no property named 'TextTransparency' for object 'Tween'  -  Client - MenuMain:62

that pops up when I remove CreditsTitle in “{CreditsTitle.TextTransparency = 0})”

Can you explain this? How am I trying to tween a tween?

steven4547466 · May 13, 2021, 8:12pm

CreditsTitle is a Tween. TweenService:Create returns a tween.

chrisby_bacon · May 13, 2021, 8:14pm

In this segment, what should I replace “CreditsTitle” with then?

(CreditsTitle, TweenInfo.new(0.3)

It should be whatever the instance of TextLabel you want to tween.

chrisby_bacon · May 13, 2021, 8:31pm

This cleared up the previous errors, thanks, but when I click “Credits(when my game runs)” only the background transparency of the frame “CreditsPopup” only appears to be non-transparent. If :Play() is by itself, the same thing happens. If I pair a textlabel’s name with :play(), I get a new error.

Play is not a valid member of TextLabel   "Players.PoweredPilots.PlayerGui.Menu.CreditsPopup.AlvinBlox"

alvin taught me scripting

edit 2: this is what it looks like if anyone’s wondering

So, the third property in Tween:Create()
{CreditsTitle.TextTransparency = 0}
Refers to a list of the Properties you want to change and the Value you’re giving them.

So in this case, there’s no property called “CreditsTitle.TextTransparency”

Just remove the ‘CreditsTitle.’ and it should be fine.

local CreditsTitle = Tween:Create(CreditsTitle, TweenInfo.new(0.3), {TextTransparency = 0})

Can you post the whole code? I appreciate the simplicity, but posting the whole code makes identifying the error easier.

You have this twice. I presume this is a copy paste mistake?

EDIT: Ah nvm. Lemme fix up this code for you.

EDIT 2: I’ve added BackgroundTransparency = 0 to the property table. You can add multiple property changes to the table. You’re making this too complex by making a new tween, but using the same variable name, resulting in destroying the old tween.

That’ll fix that issue if you understand my reasoning. Use new variables like: Alvinblox, Alvinblox_Text, Alvinblox_Background, etc, or fuse them just in one tween and call it Alvinblox_Tween.

I can’t seem to find the line where this error appears:

chrisby_bacon · May 13, 2021, 9:20pm

One changes the transparency of the GUI’s background, and the other changes the transparency of the text of the textlabel.

chrisby_bacon · May 13, 2021, 9:40pm

I never knew that you could fuse multiple tweens, thanks for a little optimization.
Anyways, the same old “white gui box error thingey” is still occouring.

And, is it too late to say I forgot adding another script? anyways, here:

Screenshot 2021-05-13 143814
^ layout of my game’s screengui(ignore fps counter)

the script I gave you is called “MenuMain,” whereas “SetGUISettings” is now below:

-- Services
local SG = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local SP = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local PLRS = game:GetService("Players")
local FT = 0

local function SetGUI()
	SG:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.All, false)
	SG:SetCore("ResetButtonCallback", false)
	UIS.ModalEnabled = true
	print("Finished Setting GUI")
end

local Success, Error = pcall(SetGUI)

repeat
	FT = FT + 1
	wait(2)
	Success, Error = pcall(SetGUI)
until FT == 5 or Success

if FT == 5 then
	PLRS.LocalPlayer:Kick()

Can you point me which line it is?

chrisby_bacon · May 13, 2021, 9:47pm

this line @lin27, the same thing happens. no clue why, no erros in my output as of right now.

Lin27 · May 13, 2021, 9:50pm

What’s the name of the white gui?

EDIT: Got it, “CreditsPopup”. But uhmmm, Transparency isn’t the right property. It’s BackgroundTransparency I believe.

chrisby_bacon · May 13, 2021, 9:56pm

alright. ill keep that in mind.
