Tweening Clock Time Issue?

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

@7z99

It doesn’t repeatedly assign a value to a property until the value of the property is exactly the same as the goal

Youre right it doesn’t, but thats not what im saying, im saying it continues until it reaches the goal which it never will

I’m still confused, you’re saying it repeats infinitely and it shouldn’t? Or it only plays once but ends after one cycle?

Omg Thank You! I feel like an idiot for this,

This is the script:

function WeatherHandler:CreateDayCycle(
	Time: number,
	EasingStyle: Enum.EasingStyle,
	EasingDirection: Enum.EasingDirection
)

		local T = game.TweenService
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
T:Create(game.Lighting, TweenInfo.new(
			math.clamp(Time, 1, 10), -- Me randomly playing with math LOL
			EasingStyle,
			EasingDirection,
			--math.huge Useless
			),
			{ClockTime = 48}):Play()
		if game.Lighting.ClockTime == 0 then
			
		game.Lighting.ClockTime = 23.999
	end
	end)
	
end

Heya, I just so happened to check this website and saw @Developing_Scripter mention my resource. A better way to loop your tween would be by using Tween.Completed:Connect().

--PHASE 1, Create Tween

local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(game.Lighting, TweenInfo.new(24, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.In,0,false,0), {ClockTime = 23.99})

--PHASE 2, Connect RBXScriptSignal (Event) to function

Tween.Completed:Connect(function()

game.Lighting.ClockTime = 0

Tween:Play() --Loop

end)


--EXECUTION

Tween:Play() --Launch Phase 1

This method helps you be 100% sure your tween is finished and will not fail on you.

Thanks, but with the other script, i better results

Edit: @jadednova This still doesnt work

[punisherholic]

It works perfectly. Remember to place it in a script in a valid container such as ServerScriptService.

I did this:

function LightingService:CreateDayCycle(
	Time: number,
	EasingStyle: Enum.EasingStyle
)

	local T = game.TweenService

	local A = T:Create(game.Lighting, TweenInfo.new(Time,EasingStyle,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut),{ClockTime = 23.999})
	local B = T:Create(game.Lighting, TweenInfo.new(Time,EasingStyle,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut),{ClockTime = 11.999})
	A.Completed:Connect(function()
		game.Lighting.ClockTime = 0
		B:Play()
	end)
	B.Completed:Connect(function()
		
		A:Play()
	end)
	A:Play()

end

You put A:Play() inside a function. This will not run until you call the function, which seems to perhaps be inside a Module.

I fixed up your script and it works.

@punisherholic

You put A:Play() inside a function. This will not run until you call the function,

It is inside a function, and yes it does

@punisherholic

This will not run until you call the function,

(didint read right, youre right about that, but still, it works how i intend it to)

[punisherholic]

I’ll reply for a final time, the script works and is better than a conditional statement that relies on ClockTime. The context to this is that Tween does not always tween exactly to the value you want it to be (ex. 23.684930349 instead of 23.99), therefore you’d rather reply on the event that explicitly tells you it’s finished.

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

To an Extent, you are Correct, but it works how I intend it to,

@punisherholic

Tween does not always tween exactly to the value you want it to be (ex. 23.684930349 instead of 23.99)

that’s where I disagree however, your post has been marked as the solution
