Tween won't play again after pausing

So I am making a minigame test and the tween won’t play after pause. Here’s the video.

Runs once, you will need to wrap it in a function to call it again when you reset.

By the way, wait() is deprecated and should be replaced with task.wait(), and you shouldn’t wait for too many children, once you wait for one you’ve basically waited for them all.

What code should I wrap into a function?

Add the play, the pause and the resume lines all in one function so it can be infinitely played.

Did you turn CircleCollisions back on?

Yes, I did turn CircleCollisions back on.

Try canceling the tween instead of pausing it.

Although it did fix the problem, if the circle was going right, somehow when all tweens are cancelled, the circle would go left.

Cancelling a tween will reset it back to the original position before the tween was played.

#11

Adding onto what Acorn said, make it tween to the position you want it to go to after the tweens have been canceled.
