Tween Event Doesn't Play

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,

I have created a script which would make a UI disseapear/reapear when you go to a certain area, and currently, it doesn’t work. It goes as follows:

local PlazaEvent = script.Parent
local PlazaRemote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Plaza
local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")


UIStart = TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
UIEnd = TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
transparency = game.StarterGui.NewAreas.AreaUI.TextTransparency

UIeventStart = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(transparency, UIStart, {0})
UIeventEnd = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(transparency, UIStart, {1})

while true do
	UIeventStart:Play()
	wait(2)
	UIeventEnd:Play()
end

Any help will be appreciated.

The first argument of the tween is the object, so in your case, AreaUI. The third argument must be a table with the property you want to change, and the value to change it to. Like this:

AreaUI, Info, {TextTransparency = 0}

This seems to be correct, but it won’t get past the tweening part, the code is as follows:

local PlazaEvent = script.Parent
local PlazaRemote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Plaza
local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
AreaUI = game.StarterGui.NewAreas.AreaUI

UIStart = TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
UIEnd = TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
transparency = game.StarterGui.NewAreas.AreaUI.TextTransparency

UIeventStart = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(AreaUI, UIStart, {transparency = 0})
UIeventEnd = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(AreaUI, UIEnd, {transparency = 1})
print("got past code")

while true do
	UIeventStart:Play()
	wait(2)
	UIeventEnd:Play()
	print("looped!!!")
end

I’m not sure if it is the case here, but it can be a little finicky when addressing a property via a variable, and then assigning that variable to something new with = .

Try to just say TextTransparency where you have put transparency, and see if that solves your issue.

Still doesn’t work for some reason. Is there any other reason this could be occurring? If not, I’ll file a bug report. I had a similar glitch when creating a tween which changes the color of the terrain depending on if its day/night

Im not really sure what your issue is. Looking at the code though, I notice that you have a delay after the first tween, but not the second one. ( In the while loop. )

This means the second tween will be immediately overwritten, playing the first tween over and over again.

I don’t think this is the problem anymore. Since I made a print after the code finishes, I realized it wasn’t even printing in the first place, which means that something went wrong with the initial code. I don’t see anything wrong with it though, can you?

Possibly an infinite yield when attempting to wait for the root part? If there is nothing in your output, then I don’t know.

Longshot, maybe the script is disabled on accident? lol

#9

Nope, still nothing. Perhaps this is a bug?
