So Im trying to tween somehting in a runservice loop but it doesnt want to work

spawn(function()
	New = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
			print("working")
			Methods.Tween(Location, .35, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false,0, {StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0,math.random(12,14),0)})
		end)
	end)
end

You need to wait for the current tween to finish before you do the next one, also why are using the RunService?

#3

Why are you trying to Tween every Heartbeat? This means it will replay the Tween again practically before it starts. I don’t know what you are doing, but RunService does not seem like the right option here.

#4

The thing is I need it to continuously tween over and over again, and a runservice loop is the only thing I could think of

#5

Since tweens doesn’t yeilds you need to wait for it to finish and you also need to play it

#6

Thats not the problem thats a custom tween module I made

#7

If this is the case, just set the “repeat count” property of TweenInfo to -1. This will cause it to repeat infinitely.

Example:

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	.35, -- Time
	Enum.EasingStyle.InOut, -- EasingStyle
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -- EasingDirection
	-1, -- RepeatCount (when less than zero the tween will loop indefinitely)
	false, -- Reverses (tween will reverse once reaching it's goal)
	0 -- DelayTime
)

Then just call Tween:Cancel() to exit the loop.

#8

The problem is that I need the tween to also stop after the player presses a certain button

#9

This will not work, waiting in a connection will not stop the signal from firing again.

#10

You must wait until it finishes that is

Tween.Completed:Wait()

else it will fire too many times and cancel itself each time it plays
You can also use @ExcessEnergy Idea i think it’s better

#11

Then just call Tween:Cancel() when you want it to end.

#12

You can use @ExcessEnergy method, or to make your current one work just make that tween method return the tween after it is played from the module, and do this: (Also, you do not need to use spawn because the connection won’t yield the thread, also if you want to make a new thread use coroutines instead)

local Tween

New = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
		if (Tween) and (Tween.PlaybackState ~= Enum.PlaybackState.Completed) then
		   return 
		end
		Tween = Methods.Tween(Location, .35, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false,0, {StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0,math.random(12,14),0)})
	end)
end)

exactly he must disconnect the event or something
