Invalid argument #1 (CFrame expected, got table)

this is the code that shows the error

game.TweenService:Create(hand,TweenInfo.new(TweenDelay),{CFrame * CFrame.new(pos, Direction) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0)}):Play()

You are embedding the CFrame data into a table. Simply remove the CFrame from the table.

Here is your corrected code:

game.TweenService:Create(hand,TweenInfo.new(TweenDelay),CFrame * CFrame.new(pos, Direction) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0)):Play()

still showing
invalid argument #1 (CFrame expected, got table)
in the output

#4

Ah I missed it. You are multiplying CFrame (which is a table) by CFrame.new (which returns a numeric value).

Here is your fixed code:

game.TweenService:Create(hand,TweenInfo.new(TweenDelay),CFrame.new(pos, Direction) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0)):Play()

for some reason it shows
Unable to cast to Dictionary

#6

Is this error occurring on the same line?

#7

yes its in the same line
11:41:08.572 Unable to cast to Dictionary - Server - Script:28

No this is the incorrect way to use TweenService:Create().

@endsword_1

The third argument of :Create() expects a dictionary where the key is the property of the object you’re tweening and the value is the goal. What you’re trying to do should be done as such:

local TweenService = game:GetService('TweenService')
TweenService:Create(
    hand,
    TweenInfo.new(TweenDelay),
    {
        CFrame = CFrame * CFrame.new(pos, Direction) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0)
    }
):Play()

Oh I didn’t think to look at TweenService API. Good job.

#10

Number on the left is line number

29		TweenService:Create(
30			hand,
31			TweenInfo.new(TweenDelay),
32			{
33				CFrame = CFrame * CFrame.new(pos, Direction) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0)
34			}
35		):Play()

Workspace.Dummy.Script:33: invalid argument #1 (CFrame expected, got table)

#11

What is your CFrame variable?

#12

That was what I mentioned before. I believe he is trying to reference to the CFrame of the object he is tweening. Can’t really help if we don’t have that info though.

#13 
local TweenService = game:GetService('TweenService')
function lerp(a, b, c)
	return a + (b - a) * c
end

function quadBezier(t, p0, p1, p2)
	local l1 = lerp(p0, p1, t)
	local l2 = lerp(p1, p2, t)
	local quad = lerp(l1, l2, t)
	return quad
end

while true do	
	local hand = script.Parent["Left Arm"]:Clone()
	hand.Parent = workspace
	hand.Anchored = true
	hand.CanCollide = false
	local p0 = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
	local p1 = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(-10,10),math.random(-1,1),0)
	local p2 = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0,0,-6)
	local TweenDelay = wait()
	game.Debris:AddItem(hand,.1)
	game.TweenService:Create(hand,TweenInfo.new(1),{Transparency = 1}):Play()
	for i = 1, 10 do
		local t = i/10
		local pos = quadBezier(t, p0.Position, p1, p2)
		local Direction = quadBezier(t + 0.005, p0.Position,p1, p2)
		--hand.CFrame = CFrame.new(pos,Direction)
		TweenService:Create(
			hand,
			TweenInfo.new(TweenDelay),
			{
				CFrame = CFrame * CFrame.new(pos, Direction) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0)
			}
		):Play()
		wait()
	end
end

the whole script maybe u can find problem from it

#14

there’s no CFrame variable anywhere but you’re trying to multiply it?

#15

oh wait is just me forgot to add CFrame = CFrame.new() in game.TweenService:Create(hand,TweenInfo.new(TweenDelay),CFrame * CFrame.new(pos, Direction) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(90),0,0)):Play()

#16

also thanks for trying to help me find out the problem

#17

Yeah, whatever properties you intend to tween need to be added as keys/fields to the tween’s goal dictionary.
