How do I tween in one direction?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Currently when my part tweens it scales in all directions, however, I just want it to scale on one axis.

How do I fix this?

My code:


Open = true

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	if Open == true then
		local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
		local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
		local part = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Shutter
		local goal = {Size = Vector3.new(12.872, 0.511, 0.05)} -- New size.
		local tween = tweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, goal)

		Open = false

		tween:Play()
		
	elseif Open == false then
		local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
		local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
		local part = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Shutter
		local goal = {Size = Vector3.new(12.872, 0.511, 0.05)} -- New size.
		local tween = tweenService:Create(part, tweenInfo, goal)
		
		Open = true
		
		tween:Play()
	end
end)

How to increase size in one direction?

Hi! Are you wanting it to scale in one direction like this?

or is it gonna scale in multiple directions, but you want one side to stay in the same place?

Yeah! One direction, it’s for my shutters.

Alright, I just made something that used similar scripting. Assuming that the current problem is that the part is scaling in both directions, you can include something like this,

Position = Vector3.new()

If you are scaling the part on the x axis for example, keep the y and z position the same, you can change the x axis so the part will move with the scale.

If this isn’t what you wanted, or you want me to explain it differently just let me know.

(This is what I did to solve a similar problem)

Here is an example,

Where would I put that? Also thank you for helping!

#7

local goal = {Size = Vector3.new(6.75, 6.75, 1.25); Position = Vector3.new(-23.625, 3.375, -78.75)}

of course your numbers would go in for the Vector3.new values.

This is what happens.

The thing is:

--// Services
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService");

--// Settings
local ANIMATION_TIME = 2; --> Tween animation period.
local Y_INCREMENT = 0;
local X_INCREMENT = 5;
local Z_INCREMENT = 0;

--// Dependencies
local Part = script.Parent.Parent;
local ClickDetector = script.Parent;

--// Functions
ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    local TweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(ANIMATION_TIME , Enum.EasingStyle.Elastic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
    
    local Goal = {
        Size = Part.Size + Vector3.new(X_INCREMENT, Y_INCREMENT, Z_INCREMENT),
        CFrame = Part.CFrame * CFrame.new(X_INCREMENTO / 2, 0, 0)
    }
    
    local myTween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo, Goal);
    myTween:Play()
end)

Negative number = Inverse side.

Didn’t even think about doing it that, way, this way is a lot better, and easier to change.
