What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to be able to use gui buttons to start tweens on parts. Each button finds a group of parts that I find based off a shared tag, then I play a tween on the parts. What I want is to use other buttons on the same parts but run a new tween when I click it.
So what I ultimately want is to be able to:
1. Click button to play a tween.
2. Click a different button that stop any playing tween so it can start a new one.

What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
The issue is I am not sure how I can achieve this. I have 3 buttons so far and Im a bit overwhelemed with how I can edit what I already have so that each button not only plays a new tween but checks if the parts are being tweened first to stop those tweens before starting new onesā¦ itās a lot! -
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I have tried using if then, else for this but only managed to make it work so if the SAME button is pressed again then the tween will stop. I want to be able to do this so that if any of my buttons are pressed the currently playing tween stops so i can play a new one.
Here is my code:
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local Module = require(script.ModuleScript)
local Button = Module.Buttons
local Bulbs = Module.Bulbs
local TweenInfo = Module.Tween
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------- BUTTON 1 -----------------------------------------
------------------------- Alternating Light Bulbs Strobe -------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local Strobe1 = {}
local Strobe2 = {}
for _, Lights in pairs(CollectionService:GetTagged(Bulbs[1])) do
table.insert(Strobe1, TweenService:Create(Lights, TweenInfo[2], {Transparency = 1}))
end
for _, Lights in pairs(CollectionService:GetTagged(Bulbs[2])) do
table.insert(Strobe2, TweenService:Create(Lights, TweenInfo[2], {Transparency = 1}))
end
Button[1].MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
warn("Button 1 Pressed")
for _, tween in ipairs(Strobe1) do
tween:Play()
print("Strobe1 Playing")
end
task.wait(1)
for _, tween in ipairs(Strobe2) do
tween:Play()
print("Strobe2 Playing")
end
end)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------- BUTTON 2 -----------------------------------------
----------------------------- All Light Bulbs Strobe------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local function createTween(Lights)
local Strobe = TweenService:Create(Lights, TweenInfo[3], {Transparency = 1})
Button[2].MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
warn("Button 2 Pressed")
Strobe:Play()
print("Strobe Playing")
end)
end
for _, Lights in pairs(CollectionService:GetTagged(Bulbs[3])) do
createTween(Lights)
end
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------- BUTTON 3 -----------------------------------------
------------------------- All Light Bulbs Fade Up To Down-------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local Rows = {}
for i = 4, 9 do
local Fade = {}
for _, Lights in pairs(CollectionService:GetTagged(Bulbs[i])) do
table.insert(Fade, TweenService:Create(Lights, TweenInfo[3], {Transparency = 1}))
end
table.insert(Rows, Fade)
end
Button[3].MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
warn("Button 3 Pressed")
for _, Fade in ipairs(Rows) do
for _, tween in ipairs(Fade) do
tween:Play()
print("Fade Playing")
end
local maxDuration = 0
for _, tween in ipairs(Fade) do
maxDuration = math.max(maxDuration, .25)
end
task.wait(maxDuration)
end
end)
If you have any ideas on how to rework this or what I can add to this, itās all appreciated! Thank you!
But itās fine I hope someone else can help me figure this out.
