Problem with Tweening

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, I am having trouble with this script.

It’s a local script and it’s supposed to tween a commands frame into visible and invisible, it works all fine, but when it’s visible, you need to click twice to hide it, can someone please help me and tell me why this si happening?

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local object = script.Parent.Parent.Commands

-- define the target positions and tween infos for the two tweens
local targetPosition = UDim2.new(0.003, 0,0.7, 0 ) -- visible
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
local targetPosition2 = UDim2.new(-0.2, 0,0.7, 0) -- invisible
local tweenInfo2 = TweenInfo.new(.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)

-- create the two tweens
local tween = TweenService:Create(object, tweenInfo, {Position = targetPosition})
local tween2 = TweenService:Create(object, tweenInfo2, {Position = targetPosition2}) -- invi

-- define the event handler for the button click
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	-- check whether the object is already at the first target position
	if object.Position == targetPosition then
		-- start the second tween to move the object to the second target position
		tween2:Play()
		
	else
		-- start the first tween to move the object to the first target position
		tween:Play()
		
	end
end)

Maybe the object is not starting in the targetPosition.

It has to do with very subtle fractions in the position values. Instead of using the position try a variable that keeps the current state:

local isVisible = true
-- define the event handler for the button click
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	-- check whether the object is already at the first target position
	if isVisible then
		-- start the second tween to move the object to the second target position
		tween2:Play()

	else
		-- start the first tween to move the object to the first target position
		tween:Play()

	end
	isVisible = not isVisible
end)
