How do I reset a tween to before it was tweened?

So let’s say I have a part that is tweened to move forward. After it’s done, I want to be able to bring it back to its original position at any time. The reverse parameter won’t work because it reverses it instantly after the tween, and I want to keep the part there for a while. Any solutions? I have 8 tweens that I need to reset, and I’m wondering if there is any way to do this without creating 8 more tweens that do the opposite.

Use a wait after the tween for however long you want it to stay and just tween it back.

For the 8 tween part, there is a way to do it, however, more context for that is needed.

Like, if the 8 parts were in a folder, you could use a for do loop to iterate through every part and just write one line of tween that goes for every iterated part.

Alright thanks, I will try that method.

It would look something like:

local TweenTime = 1; -- Set to how long you tween it
local WaitTime = 1; -- Set to how long you want to wait till it comes back

for _, obj in pairs(Folder:GetChildren()) do
     local OriginalP = obj.Position
     game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(obj, TweenInfo.new(TweenTime), {Position = Vector3.new(The new position)}):Play() -- Could use CFrame as well

     delay(WaitTime, function()
           game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(obj, TweenInfo.new(TweenTime), {Position = OriginalP}):Play() -- 
     end)
end

Before reading my post;
THIS IS ASSUMING YOUR ONLY TWEENING 1 PART AND TRYING TO DO THE ORIGINAL POSITION THINGY:
anyway,

  • before tweening, set a variable for the position
  • then tween
    use the variable you just made to set the position with part.Position = var

in your case, you might wanna use a table for the positions to be stored
so like {Part1Pos, Part2Pos, …} the list goes on and on and on

All you’d need to do is store the original positions of each of the 8 parts and then teleport them back when necessary.

local folder = workspace:WaitForChild("Folder")
local parts = folder:GetChildren()
local array = {}

for _, part in ipairs(parts) do
	if part:IsA("BasePart") then
		table.insert(array, part.Position)
		--perform tween
	end
end

task.wait(10) --whatever delay/cooldown here

for i, part in ipairs(parts) do --ipairs iterator so order is retained
	part.Position = array[i]
end
