How do you change the Y value of a Gui with a tween?

For a game that I’m making, I’m trying to making a custom inventory system with custom slots. I wanted to make it so that the slot would rise slightly when the player equipped it. I made a tween service that moves the gui up, but I came across a problem.

This is the code that tells the tween where to move to (third argument to the tween):

local GuiPos = { Position = UDim2.new(slotPos.Position.X, 0, 0.9, 0) }

My problem is that no matter what I change in the 3rd argument, the tween always puts the gui in the same Y position. (The X position works properly).
Here’s a video to show you what I mean

The slot is moving way too far up and I can’t seem to change that.

How can I change it so that the tween puts the gui in a different Y position?

GUI's Y position cannot be changed with tweening

That code alone should work since the y value is being assigned, there must be something else conflicting it, can you post the whole tween code?

#3

You mean you want it to tween it to a random Y position?

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local slotTransition = function(slot) 
	local slotTable = {localScreenGui.emptySlot1, localScreenGui.emptySlot2, localScreenGui.emptySlot3}
	local tweenInInfo = TweenInfo.new(
		1,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Back,
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		0,
		false,
		0
	)
	local slotPos = nil
	if slot == 1 then
		slotPos = localScreenGui.emptySlot1
	elseif slot == 2 then
		slotPos = localScreenGui.emptySlot2
	elseif slot == 3 then
		slotPos = localScreenGui.emptySlot3
	end
	local GuiPos = {
		Position = UDim2.new(slotPos.Position.X, 0, 0, 0)
	}
	local tweenIn = tweenService:Create(slotPos, tweenInInfo, GuiPos)
	tweenIn:Play()
end

I’m not sure if you need more context but this is the function that controls the tween.

No, I want the Gui to go to a specific Y position but no matter how I change the 3rd parameter of the UDim2 statement, it always goes to the same position.

#6

Hm, maybe changing the easingstyle might work.

#7

Did you tried to print out the slotPos?
It’s maybe not changing at all.

#8

The slotPos variable is used so that if I press 1, slot number one goes up. That’s working okay.
My problem is that the slots are moving up way too far and I can’t seem to change that.

I tried that and it didn’t work. I edited my post so that there’s a video if you would like to see what’s happening.

I’m not sure why this is happening but apparently having this

slotPos.Position.X

In the first argument dictates the Y value aswell. I have no clue how, but when I removed it I was able to adjust the Y value.
