#1

As the Title says, How do i loop Something. I’m trying to Make it so the Title would move up and down. Here is a example code:

local Title = script.Parent.Parent
--What do i put here?
Title:TweenPosition(UDim2.fromScale(0.173,0),Enum.EasingDirection.In,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 0.4)
wait(0.4)
Title:TweenPosition(UDim2.fromScale(0.173,-0.1),Enum.EasingDirection.In,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 0.4)
--Do I put End here?

Thank you, and answers help…

#2 
local Title = script.Parent.Parent
while true do -- need to be true in order to loop
    Title:TweenPosition(UDim2.fromScale(0.173,0),Enum.EasingDirection.In,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 0.4)
    wait(0.4)
    Title:TweenPosition(UDim2.fromScale(0.173,-0.1),Enum.EasingDirection.In,Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 0.4)
    wait(0.4)
end

You can put it in a while true do loop. You also have to add a wait after your second tween.

New code:

--//Variables
local Title = script.Parent.Parent

--//Loops
while task.wait(0.4) do
	Title:TweenPosition(UDim2.fromScale(0.173, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.In, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 0.4)
	
	task.wait(0.4)
	Title:TweenPosition(UDim2.fromScale(0.173, -0.1), Enum.EasingDirection.In, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 0.4)
end

Same as the other 2 above me said, although you can replace the task.wait(0.4) to wait(0.1) for a smoother and faster GUI floating effect.

This won’t work, and will just reset the current tween playing because :TweenPosition doesn’t yield until the tween is finished.

Also, you should use task.wait(n) over wait(n), because it’s more performant and accurate.

#6

oh right. common mistake on my end. thanks for correcting! also why would they have both wait and task.wait then? wouldn’t everyone be using task.wait if they knew that?

#7

Everyone should be using task.wait(n), it’s just that since it’s a fairly new global, not many people know about it.
