Problem with Debounce and Visible Table Values

#1

I’ve been making a script for Animations that I could apply to my Gui but something doesn’t work. I’ve searched everything: DevForum, ChatGPT ( You could never know ), Internet, etc…

I noticed that the Values for VISIBLE and DEBOUNCE never Changed.
And I don’t know why that is happening!

Here are the Values after clicking the Button multiple times:

Any help is appreciated :slight_smile:

Here is the Script:

-- Services

local PLAYERS = game:GetService("Players")
local TWEENSERVICE = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RP = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

-- Variables

local GUI = script.Parent
local MAIN_FRAME = GUI:WaitForChild("Main")
local BUTTONS_HOLDER = MAIN_FRAME:WaitForChild("ButtonsHolder")
local TOGGLE = MAIN_FRAME:WaitForChild("Toggle")

-- (Folders)

local SOZNDS = GUI:WaitForChild("Sounds")
local MODULES = GUI:WaitForChild("Modules")

-- Modules

local TWEENMODULE = require(MODULES:WaitForChild("UIFeatures"))

-- Tables

local CURRENT_DEBOUNCES = {

	["TOGGLE"] = false

}

local CURRENT_VISIBLE = {

	["MAIN_FRAME"] = false

}

-- Functions

local function TWEEN_TOGGLE_UP_DOWN(INSTANCE, VISIBLE, DEBOUNCE)

	if DEBOUNCE then return end

	local TI = TweenInfo.new(.2, Enum.EasingStyle.Circular, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)

	if VISIBLE then

		DEBOUNCE = true

		local TWEEN = TWEENSERVICE:Create(INSTANCE, TI, {Position = UDim2.new(.5, 0, 0.9, 0)})

		TWEEN:Play()

		TWEEN.Completed:Wait()


		VISIBLE = not VISIBLE
		DEBOUNCE = false

		return

	else

		DEBOUNCE = true

		local TWEEN = TWEENSERVICE:Create(INSTANCE, TI, {Position = UDim2.new(.5, 0, 1.06, 0)})

		TWEEN:Play()

		TWEEN.Completed:Wait()

		VISIBLE = not VISIBLE
		DEBOUNCE = false

		return

	end

end

-- TODO: Make Hover Animation

TOGGLE.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

	TWEEN_TOGGLE_UP_DOWN(MAIN_FRAME, CURRENT_VISIBLE.MAIN_FRAME, CURRENT_DEBOUNCES.TOGGLE)

end)
#3

This runs the code. I’ve put several prints after that and the code ran, so that can’t be the problem.

#4

Also, the Values don’t even change as you can see in the attached Image

#5

It’s because you’re setting DEBOUNCE, a local variable declared inside function TWEEN_TOGGLE_UP_DOWN’s scope, not CURRENT_DEBOUNCES["TOGGLE"].

#6

I’ve changed it to this. Still doesn’t work:

local function TWEEN_TOGGLE_UP_DOWN(INSTANCE, VISIBLE, DEBOUNCE)

   if DEBOUNCE then return end

   local TI = TweenInfo.new(.2, Enum.EasingStyle.Circular, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
   
   print(string.format("Debounce: %s\nVisible: %s", tostring(CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE]), tostring(CURRENT_VISIBLE[VISIBLE])))

   if VISIBLE == true then

   	CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE] = not CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE]

   	local TWEEN = TWEENSERVICE:Create(INSTANCE, TI, {Position = UDim2.new(.5, 0, 0.9, 0)})

   	TWEEN:Play()

   	TWEEN.Completed:Wait()

   	return CURRENT_VISIBLE[VISIBLE] == not CURRENT_VISIBLE[VISIBLE], CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE] == false

   else

   	DEBOUNCE = true

   	local TWEEN = TWEENSERVICE:Create(INSTANCE, TI, {Position = UDim2.new(.5, 0, 1.06, 0)})

   	TWEEN:Play()

   	TWEEN.Completed:Wait()

   	return CURRENT_VISIBLE[VISIBLE] == not CURRENT_VISIBLE[VISIBLE], CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE] == false

   end

end

-- TODO: Make Hover Animation

TOGGLE.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

   TWEEN_TOGGLE_UP_DOWN(MAIN_FRAME, "MAIN_FRAME", "TOGGLE")

end)

A different problem has been introduced: you use both DEBOUNCE and CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE]. Instead, you should only ever use the latter.

#8

Now I’m really confused. Can u explain it in the code?

#9

You simply forgot to make all the appropriate changes.

-- This function is called with (MAIN_FRAME, "MAIN_FRAME", "TOGGLE")
local function TWEEN_TOGGLE_UP_DOWN(INSTANCE, VISIBLE, DEBOUNCE)

   -- DEBOUNCE will always be "TOGGLE",
   -- meaning the function will return.
   if DEBOUNCE then return end

   -- We should do
   if CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE] then return end
   -- instead.
end

How is this printing the Values then?!

#11

Nani!?

And what is the message being logged to the output? (would be helpful if you printed DEBOUNCE as well)

Nvm, my friend took a look at it and It works now. Thank you for being so helpful anyways :slight_smile:

Here is the working code:

-- Services

local PLAYERS = game:GetService("Players")
local TWEENSERVICE = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RP = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

-- Variables

local GUI = script.Parent
local MAIN_FRAME = GUI:WaitForChild("Main")
local BUTTONS_HOLDER = MAIN_FRAME:WaitForChild("ButtonsHolder")
local TOGGLE = MAIN_FRAME:WaitForChild("Toggle")

-- (Folders)

local SOZNDS = GUI:WaitForChild("Sounds")
local MODULES = GUI:WaitForChild("Modules")

-- Modules

local TWEENMODULE = require(MODULES:WaitForChild("UIFeatures"))

-- Tables

local CURRENT_DEBOUNCES = {
	["TOGGLE"] = false
}

local CURRENT_VISIBLE = {
	["MAIN_FRAME"] = false
}

-- Functions
local function TWEEN_TOGGLE_UP_DOWN(INSTANCE, VISIBLE_KEY, DEBOUNCE_KEY)
	
	if CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE_KEY] then	return end		

	local TI = TweenInfo.new(.2, Enum.EasingStyle.Circular, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)

	if CURRENT_VISIBLE[VISIBLE_KEY] then
		
		CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE_KEY] = true

		local TWEEN = TWEENSERVICE:Create(INSTANCE, TI, {Position = UDim2.new(.5, 0, 0.9, 0)})
		
		TWEEN:Play()

		TWEEN.Completed:Wait()

		CURRENT_VISIBLE[VISIBLE_KEY] = not CURRENT_VISIBLE[VISIBLE_KEY]
		
		CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE_KEY] = false
		
	else
		
		CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE_KEY] = true
		

		local TWEEN = TWEENSERVICE:Create(INSTANCE, TI, {Position = UDim2.new(.5, 0, 1.06, 0)})
		
		TWEEN:Play()

		TWEEN.Completed:Wait()

		CURRENT_VISIBLE[VISIBLE_KEY] = not CURRENT_VISIBLE[VISIBLE_KEY]
		
		CURRENT_DEBOUNCES[DEBOUNCE_KEY] = false
		
	end
	
end

-- TODO: Make Hover Animation

TOGGLE.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	TWEEN_TOGGLE_UP_DOWN(MAIN_FRAME, "MAIN_FRAME", "TOGGLE")
	
end)
