I am trying to get each tween running after each other, I have a working script below is this a good way of doing it?

local tweenStatus = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
GuiObject = script.Parent.Parent.Frame

function tweenComplete ()
tweenStatus.Value = tweenStatus.Value + 1
end

tweenStatus.Changed:Connect(function(NewValue)
if NewValue == 1 then
GuiObject:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.In, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 1, false, tweenComplete)
end
if NewValue == 2 then
GuiObject:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 1, false, tweenComplete)
end
end)

tweenStatus.Value = 1

Can’t you just use wait with the duration you set for each tween?

Hi, Yes I could but I want each tween to be smooth as moving to GUI in different directions and would look odd if the paused due to lag.

I am always looking for the optimal way of coding.

	GuiObject:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 1, false)
end)

Hi, thanks for the code, so the second tween is in tween complete so will only run once the first has completed?

This is great and very clean.

Regards

Here’s another way you can do it that also works with other instances that don’t have TweenPosition:

local tween1 = TweenService:Create(instance, tweenInfo1, propertyTable1) --fill this out
local tween2 = TweenService:Create(instance, tweenInfo2, propertyTable2) --fill this out

tween1:Play()
tween1.Completed:Wait()
tween2:Play()

You also won’t end up with many nested anonymous functions if you want to play like 10 tweens in sequence.
