Problems with tweening

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey! I’m trying to make a zone that tweens automatically, after you use a command (say !startzone in the chat, if you are on the whitelist). It basically works like Fortnite. It tweens only a part, then stops. After some time, it tweens again. It repeats this process 20 times, until its finished fully.

Obviously, as there is a Roblox scale limit, I’m making it via multiple parts, that are being cloned.

However, there the issue comes. I need to position the newly cloned parts, so that they are in front of the already tweened zone parts, basically. I am able to do this for the first time, as I will just change the position based off of the part behind it. The problem though is that I’d need to do this every time, position the new cloned parts individually, with the new positions (the more it scales, the more the position will change). But I’m not sure how to do that.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local AnnouncementSound = SoundService:WaitForChild("ZoneAnnouncement")

local ZoneFolder = SS:WaitForChild("ZoneParts")

Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()

	local Text = HolderFrame:WaitForChild("Announcement")
	
	HolderFrame.Visible = true
	HolderFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.463,0,0.44,0),"Out","Quad",0.7,true)
	wait(3)
	HolderFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.463,0,0.3,0),"Out","Quad",0.7,true)
	wait(0.7)
	HolderFrame.Visible = false
end)

this doesn’t yield the script
so do this:

tween1:Play()

tween1.Completed:Once(function()
    tween2:Play()
end)

tween2.Completed:Once(function()
    tween3:Play()
end)

tween3.Completed:Once(function()
    tween4:Play()
end)

That doesn’t have anything to do with my problem though. + the tweening itself works, I tested that numerous times. It’s just that I need to position the new parts somehow.

#4

Btw I think you might have misunderstood the script. The 4 parts (4 tweens) are meant to play at the same time, not after the previous one finishes. As my map is really big and Roblox has scale limits, I’m making this via numerous parts, that get scaled to the limit. That’s why there are 4 parts for basically 1 wall.

#5

Just take the part’s Size then?
If you want to position the new parts infront, use CFrames.

The problem is that I would need to make this value bigger every time. Because the parts get cloned to the same location, but the zone itself (the wall of 4 parts) keeps scaling, meaning the position needs to get changed even more. And I obviously don’t want to make 20 elseif checks.

#7

Maybe I could make like a loop that increases the position by the zoneCount value? Aka multiply the position value change by how much the zoneCount value currently is? Idk.

#8

Alright, so… I actually managed to fix it by myself, it was pretty simple after all.

local increaseBy = 399.80675 * zoneCount
						
						clone1.Position = clone1.Position - Vector3.new(increaseBy,0,0)
						clone2.Position = clone2.Position - Vector3.new(increaseBy,0,0)
						clone3.Position = clone3.Position - Vector3.new(increaseBy,0,0)
						clone4.Position = clone4.Position - Vector3.new(increaseBy,0,0)

However thanks for trying to help me! :smiley: @remcodesremcodes You as well.
