How to make tween stop repeating itself?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I made a simple zoom script, that when you hold right click it tweens your fov (creating a zoom effect) I have the basic code down, and it works, but the tween animation keeps resetting and playing again, creating this pumping camera effect when its held down. Is there a way I can make it play once or something?

Here is the code:

--// Services
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ts =  game:GetService("TweenService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = game.Workspace.Camera


--// Objects

local fovIn = ts:Create(
	camera,
	TweenInfo.new(.5),
	{FieldOfView = 50}
)

local fovOut = ts:Create(
	camera,
	TweenInfo.new(.5),
	{FieldOfView = 70}
)

local Held = false

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject)
	if inputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
		Held = true
	end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(inputObject)
	if inputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
		Held = false
	end
end)

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if Held == true then
		fovIn:Play()
	elseif Held == false then
		fovOut:Play()
	end
end)

Are you using TweenInfo? If so TweenInfo contains some values you may need to configure to stop this.

Yes I think, but what would I change to stop it from repeating?

#4

I think the issue is that it’s playing the tween over and over again every single frame

Have you tried replacing Held = true and Held = false with fovIn:Play() and fovOut:Play() instead of doing it in a RenderStepped function?

It seems to have fixed it repeating, but now after tweening it goes back to the original fov.

#6

Hmm that’s weird, do you have any other scipts in your game that change the FOV?

#7

Yep, I am an idiot, I left in a audio visualizer script that was constantly resetting the fov to 70. Wow. Its completely fixed now, thanks for the help.

Happens from time to time to all of us :slightly_smiling_face:

Define more properties within TweenInfos or just set the value to the tween objective when the tween is completed

for example:

local fovIn = ts:Create(
   camera,
   TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)
   { FieldOfView = 50 }
)

or

fovIn:Play()

fovIn.Completed:Wait()

camera.FieldOfView = 50

In tweeninfo their are 5 values needed, (TweenService | Roblox Creator Documentation )

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	2, -- Time it takes for Tween to carry out.
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, -- EasingStyle
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -- EasingDirection
	-1, -- RepeatCount (when less than zero the tween will loop indefinitely) -- This may be the one your looking for. Make it 0 to stop repeating.
	false, -- Reverses (tween will reverse once reaching it's goal) -- this may also be a factor. If this is true you might want to make it false,
	0 -- Time before Tween starts.
)

I put some comments for you to understand the basic functions of TweenInfo

save your script then try this:

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService") --gets user input service
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService") --gets tween service
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --finds the player
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera --finds the player's cam
local mouse = player:GetMouse() --gets the player's mouse
local ti = TweenInfo.new(0.5) --defines a new tween info with a 0.5 second interval

local fovIn = { --fovIn properties
    FieldOfView = 50
}
local fovOut = { --fovOut properties
    FieldOfView = 70
}

mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function() --right click function
    local tween = ts:Create(cam, ti, fovIn) --creates a tween
    tween:Play() --plays that tween
end

mouse.Button2Up:Connect(function() --right click ended function
    local tween = ts:Create(cam, ti, fovOut) --creates a tween
    tween:Play() --plays that tween
end
