How do I use a function twice?

Hi, thanks for reading.

Currently, I’m playing around with some ProximityPrompts in my place, and I was wondering how I use a PromptButtonHoldEnded function twice.

Basically what I’m doing is tweening some doors open when a user holds a ProximityPrompt for a certain amount of time, in this case it’s 0.5 seconds. Now that they are open, I’m confused how to tween them back when E is held in the same function.

Here is my code right now:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local TwnInfo = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine)

local Wood = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.WoodWork
local Panel = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.DoorPanel

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent

local Tween1 = TweenService:Create(Wood, TwnInfo, {Position = Vector3.new(34.125, 4.875, 38)})
local Tween2 = TweenService:Create(Panel, TwnInfo, {Position = Vector3.new(34.125, 6.125, 38)})

ProximityPrompt.PromptButtonHoldEnded:Connect(function(End)
	Tween1:Play()
	Tween2:Play()
	ProximityPrompt.ActionText = "Close Door"
end)

So far I have looked this up and found nothing since ProximityPrompts are relatively new.

Basically all I’m saying is How do I tween the doors back in the same function, i.e if the user holds E again.

Store a boolean value in a variable that detects if the doors are opened or not, and in the .PromptButtonHoldEnded connection, have an if then else end statement for whether the door already open or not.

Here is the updated code for anyone who needs it:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local TwnInfo = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine)

local Wood = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.WoodWork
local Panel = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.DoorPanel

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent
local Open = false

local Tween1 = TweenService:Create(Wood, TwnInfo, {Position = Vector3.new(34.125, 4.875, 38)})
local Tween2 = TweenService:Create(Panel, TwnInfo, {Position = Vector3.new(34.125, 6.125, 38)})

local Tween3 = TweenService:Create(Wood, TwnInfo, {Position = Vector3.new(34.125, 4.875, 31.5)})
local Tween4 = TweenService:Create(Panel, TwnInfo, {Position = Vector3.new(34.125, 6.125, 31.5)})

ProximityPrompt.PromptButtonHoldEnded:Connect(function(End)
	if Open == false then
		Tween1:Play()
		Tween2:Play()
		ProximityPrompt.ActionText = "Close Door"
		Open = true
	elseif Open == true then
		Tween3:Play()
		Tween4:Play()
		ProximityPrompt.ActionText = "Open Door"
		Open = false
	end
end)
