How to Smoothly change Attribute values like Tween

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to tween attributes, I tried this

local Tween = game.TweenService
local part = workspace.Part
Tween:Create(part, TweenInfo.new(1), {AttributeSample = 50}):Play()

but the problem is that there is no Property called “AttributeSample” because it is an attribute.

I could use a for loop, but I want it to be smooth. Is there a Service to ‘tween’ Attributes, or a method?

I believe you can just use the following methods to tween attributes like CFrame variables, it may not be that neat but it should work:

You could use RunService to make a smooth transition using stepped on the server or render stepped on the client

This is a case where you should consider using a ValueObject instead of an attribute. You could hypothetically “tween an attribute” by using a ValueObject as a proxy like dthecoolest’s post mentions but at that point using attributes is pointless because you already have a ValueObject to work with. Same manner of replication, just how you’re accessing your number will change from GetAttribute to the value of your ValueObject.

this is an alternative for my case, but I am just asking if there is a possible way to ‘tween’ Attributes

Otherwise, directly, no, you can’t.

You can’t directly tween an attribute - but you can tween the value base property of a Value object. Assuming your attribute is an integer (make minor changes if otherwise), the code below subtly utilises Value bases to tween attributes.

local part = game.Workspace.MyBrick 
--Change this to the object with the attributes!
local info = TweenInfo.new()
--Change this to match the kind of tween you want!
local target = 10
--Change this to the destination value you want!
local attName = "MyValue"
--Change this to the name of your attribute!

local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local run = game:GetService("RunService")
local value = Instance.new("IntValue",part)
value.Value = part:GetAttribute(attName)

local tween = ts:Create(value,info,{Value=target})
run:BindToRenderStep("ValueFollow",1,function()
   part:SetAttribute(attName,value.Value)
)

tween:Play()
tween.Completed:Wait()
run:UnbindFromRenderStep("ValueFollow")
value:Destroy()

Hope it works!
