  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

Hi, so I’m trying to make a textlabel to open and tween after I click on the textbutton.

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

the problem with my script is that it doesn’t open and tween and I got this error in the output.

TweenInfo.new first argument expects a number for time.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I tried researching on google and the developer forum for solutions but couldn’t seems to find a way through to fix my script.

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local PlayerService = game:GetService('Players')
local Player = PlayerService.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
local ScreenGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild('ScreenGui')
local TextLabel = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.TextLabel
local TextButton = script.Parent.TextButton


ScreenGui.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	TextLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 0
	TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0
	local info = TweenInfo.new{
		15,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		0,
		false,
		0
	}

	local InfoPlay = TweenService:Create(TextLabel, info)

	InfoPlay:Play()
end)

I’d be appreciative if someone could help me with my script.

So to my understanding when someone clicks the ui it tweens to its position correct?

#3

uh, no so when someone clicks the ui it opens up the textlabel then it will probably wait a few seconds before tweening…

#4

btw, the textbutton visibility also becomes false after someone clicks on it.

#5

is the position on where you want to go the textlabel? where do you want your text label to move to?

#6

TweenService:Create requires 3 arguments: an instance, the TweenInfo, then a table of properties for the goal result.

Try this:

local properties = {
    ['BackgroundTransparency'] = 0;
    ['TextTransparency'] = 0;
}
local InfoPlay = TweenService:Create(TextLabel, info, properties)

InfoPlay:Play()

{0, 0},{0.457, 0}

Or if you want the position to be specific then use a UDim2

(UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0)

Yeah but then you’d have to add that position to the table of properties.

local properties = {
    ['Position'] = UDim2.new(0,0,0,0)
}
#10 
ScreenGui.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	TextLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 0
	TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0
	local info = TweenInfo.new{
		15,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		0,
		false,
		0
	}

	local properties = {
    	['Position'] = UDim2.new(0.732, 0, 0.457, 0)
	}

	local InfoPlay = TweenService:Create(TextLabel, info, properties)

	InfoPlay:Play()
end)

There, should work now

I got the same error TweenInfo.new first argument expects a number for time.

[‘Script’]

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local PlayerService = game:GetService('Players')
local Player = PlayerService.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
local ScreenGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild('ScreenGui')
local TextLabel = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.TextLabel
local TextButton = script.Parent.TextButton

ScreenGui.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	TextLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 0
	TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0
	local info = TweenInfo.new{
		15,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, 
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		0,
		false,
		0
	}

	local properties = {
		['Position'] = UDim2.new(0.732, 0, 0.457, 0)
	}

	local InfoPlay = TweenService:Create(TextLabel, info, properties)

	InfoPlay:Play()
end)

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local PlayerService = game:GetService('Players')
local Player = PlayerService.LocalPlayer

local TextLabel = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.TextLabel
local TextButton = script.Parent.TextButton

	local info = TweenInfo.new(

	)

	local properties = {
		['Position'] = UDim2.new(0.732, 0, 0.457, 0)
	}

	local InfoPlay = TweenService:Create(TextLabel, info, properties)

	InfoPlay:Play()
end)

Forgot to switch the curly brackets with parentheses

#13

which line of code is it? its supposed to say right next to the error

#14

I clicked on it but nothing shows up and theres no error

#15

what is the current position of the text label

#16

the error happen to be in line 12 TweenInfo.new first argument expects a number for time. - Client - LocalScript:12

#17

is under ScreenGui and textbutton

#18

Instead of TweenService why don’t you use TweenPosition?

#19

It’s because you’re using curly brackets. It’s thinking the table you’re giving is the first argument.

#20

I already solved that. Its a different issue now
