Tweening Error regarding multiple GUIs

Im trying to make a popup animation for a clicking game, however the coins wait after each other to start tweening and some of them get stuck.

Heres the code

Current = 0
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local FormatNumber = require(ReplicatedStorage.Libs.FormatNumber.Simple)

while wait() do
	if Current ~= Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Coins.Value then
		local START_X = math.random(175, 825) / 1000
		local TWEEN_Y = math.random(150, 625) / 1000
		local CoinPopup = game.ReplicatedStorage.CoinPopup:Clone()
		CoinPopup.Position = UDim2.new(START_X, 0, 1, 0)
		CoinPopup.Parent = script.Parent.Popups
		CoinPopup.Amount.Text = "+"..(FormatNumber.FormatCompact(Player.leaderstats.Coins.Value - Current))
		Current = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Coins.Value
		CoinPopup:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(START_X, 0, TWEEN_Y, 0), "Out", "Sine", 0.4)
		wait(.4)
		CoinPopup:TweenSizeAndPosition(UDim2.new(0.021, 0,0.041, 0), UDim2.new(0.042, 0,0.551, 0), "In", "Sine", .2)
	end
end

local Current = 0
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local FormatNumber = require(ReplicatedStorage.Libs.FormatNumber.Simple)

while wait() do
    coroutine.create(coroutine.resume(function()
        if Current ~= Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Coins.Value then
            local START_X = math.random(175, 825) / 1000
            local TWEEN_Y = math.random(150, 625) / 1000
            local CoinPopup = game.ReplicatedStorage.CoinPopup:Clone()
            CoinPopup.Position = UDim2.new(START_X, 0, 1, 0)
            CoinPopup.Parent = script.Parent.Popups
            CoinPopup.Amount.Text = "+" .. (FormatNumber.FormatCompact(Player.leaderstats.Coins.Value - Current))
            Current = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Coins.Value
            CoinPopup:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(START_X, 0, TWEEN_Y, 0), "Out", "Sine", 0.4)
            wait(0.4)
            CoinPopup:TweenSizeAndPosition(UDim2.new(0.021, 0, 0.041, 0), UDim2.new(0.042, 0, 0.551, 0), "In", "Sine", 0.2)
        end
    end))
end

The problem in your code is that „wait(0.4) yields the thread, therefore stopping the while loop from running again. A coroutine is a special function which will run in a separate threat and cannot be stopped by a wait() in the main thread.

I am on my phone right now and therefore might have done a mistake when setting brackets.

Ahh yes, creating a coroutine did seem to work however the UI does still get stuck every now and then.

Any errors in output when it freezes? How long does it freeze for?

#5

No errors, it freezes for ever, basically it’s just not playng the second tween sometimes

i think thats because youre using :tweenposition and it breaks if you create more than one tween at a time, my recommendation is using tweenservice instead since it doesnt break when you have more than one tween playing at the same time.
