I want to make a “pulse” type Tween, which will constantly increase and decrease a TextBox during the game, infinitely.
The problem is that if I put this tween inside a while true do, the rest of the script will not proceed and the game will freeze.
I’ve already tried putting the tween inside a coroutine but it didn’t work.
How can I make a tween play constantly in the game without interfering with anything?
Create a script inside the TextBox that runs separately

do like what he said but dont forget to use
repeat wait() until Tween.Completed

Consider using a sine function instead of tweens
Something like this
local counter: number = 0
local speed: number = 5
game:GetService'RunService'.RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
counter += dt * speed
textLabel.TextTransparency = (math.sin(counter) + 1) * .5
end)

Increase in size? You can do it without loops:
local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(
0.5,
Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
Enum.EasingDirection.In,
-1,
true
)
tweenservice:Create(TextBox,tweeninfo,{Size = UDim2.new(0.1, 0,0.05, 0)}):Play()
If you meant position or anything else you can change the third argument of tweenservice.
As for coroutines you have to activate them with () at the end for them to work like this:
coroutine.wrap(function()
--your code
end)()

Bad idea to repeatedly use wait(), instead, you can use Tween.Completed:Wait()

If you set the a TweenInfo's ‘RepeatCount’ property to a negative value it’ll repeat indefinitely.
