How to oscillate the y value during a position tween

[IAmPotatoMan5]

Im trying to move an object from position ‘a’ to ‘b’ in x, z cordinates, I want the Y cordinate to remain the same as the original y value (when it reaches the end) , yet while the object is moving have the y value oscillate at the absolute value of sin(x) ( or something where it bounces up and down )

intended y result:

Im currently trying to tween the object yet since you cant tween twice at the same time I dont understand how I can correctly oscillate the y value

[VegetationBush (FartedWayTooHard)]

local cycleLength = 3 -- How long each cycle of the oscillation is
local oscillationRange = 3 -- Height of the oscillation

local start = os.clock()
game:GetService("RunService").Hearbeat:Connect(function()
    local y = math.abs(math.sin(start / cycleLength)) * oscillationRange
end)

• math.sin to get the sin value
• math.abs to get the absolute sine value

Use this over the course of the animation or tween.

You can’t do this easily with TweenService. Only straight line movement is supported. See this old topic for more info:

Use different tweens for different axis

This is invalid table constructor syntax. If you try this simplified example you’ll get the same error: local a = {something.thing = "test"} -- '}' expected near '=' The whole idea of only tweening something only on the X axis, which I’m guessing you’re trying to do with the first SimpleTween call, is sound but not something that Roblox/TweenService supports out of the box. You can only tween the entire Position property as a whole, not the individual X, Y or Z components of the Position. If…

I just ended up putting it in a for loop with the amount of bounces you want, with a tween that goes up half a bounce distance and then another tween that goes down the multiply by I for the next bounce and such
just realized I forgot to post the code

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local part = Instance.new("Part")

part.Position = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
part.Anchored = true
part.Parent = game.Workspace

local finalPoint = Vector3.new(100,0,150)
	
local goal = {}



local tweenInfoUp = TweenInfo.new( -- 
	1,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out
	
)

local tweenInfoDown = TweenInfo.new(
	1,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
	Enum.EasingDirection.In
)
-- having two of these should I think handle the velocity it does really matter just adjust to your pleasure

local distance = math.sqrt(finalPoint.X^2 + finalPoint.Z^2) -- a^2 + b^2 = c^2 

local amountOfBounces = math.floor(distance/10) -- this is to sort out the use of bigger and smaller bounces only need if its a random point your bouncing between
-- otherwise you can set it to a number you want 
local distancePerBounce = finalPoint/amountOfBounces

print(part.Name .. " is travelling " .. distance .. " Studs In " .. amountOfBounces .. " Bounces")
for i = 1, amountOfBounces do
	
	goal.Position = i*distancePerBounce - Vector3.new(distancePerBounce.X/2,-5,distancePerBounce.Z/2)
	
	local tweenUp = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfoUp, goal)

	
	goal.Position = i*distancePerBounce 
	local TweenDown = TweenService:Create(part,tweenInfoDown, goal)

	tweenUp:Play()
	
	tweenUp.Completed:Wait()
			
	TweenDown:Play()
	
	TweenDown.Completed:Wait()	
	
end
