Am I on the right track or have I completely missed the point of OOP?
--Attempting to make a framework for tweening ui
local TweenTemplate = {
Part = nil, --Part to be tweened. eg, ui item
Property = nil, --The property to be tweened. eg, Transparency, Position
StartValue = nil,
EndValue = nil,
Duration = 0.5,--time
EasingStyle = Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
EasingDirection = Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
--is this all I need?
}
TweenTemplate.__index = TweenTemplate
local Tween = {}
function Tween.new(part, property, startValue, endValue, duration, easingStyle, easingDirection)
local self = setmetatable({}, TweenTemplate)
self.Part = part
self.Property = property
self.StartValue = startValue
self.EndValue = endValue
self.Duration = duration
self.EasingStyle = easingStyle
self.EasingDirection = easingDirection
return self
end
function Tween:IncreaseSize(...)--something like this perhaps? or send every property in the template?
--eg mousehover
end
function Tween:DecreaseSize()--may not be used
end
function Tween:Rotate()--probably not used (no pets in game, maybe chests)
--eg pets/chests
end
function Tween:FadeOut()
--closing inventory screen
end
function Tween:FadeIn()
--opening inventory screen
end
function Tween:ChangePosition()
--hiding ui off screen etc
end
function Tween:Creation()--Do I need this?
end
--Attempting to make a framework for tweening ui
local Tween = {}
Tween .__index = Tween
function Tween.new(part, property, startValue, endValue, duration, easingStyle, easingDirection)
local self = setmetatable({}, Tween)

self.Property = property

You also missed some boilerplate like returning the module and setting the .__index, but it looks good so far.
Thx for the feedback. I started making my game modular and then though, damn OOP would be better so a week ago I started watching tutorials and reading up it. I made a helper table in case I didn’t pass all the required variables.
That’s good. OOP is very powerful in the sense that you can modify whatever you want really easily. If you have any other questions on implementation, feel free to ask.
