hmm alright, do some debugging by adding:
print(playerInBounds[1], Captured, Holder)
Put this at the beginning of the Animate() function

It prints everything well i am just asking how to tween play tween when value is let’s say 1 and when 2 to stop and when 0 to go down

Is it because your setting Rising = true but never setting it back to false when the flag begins to go down or stay as Neutral?

The problem is that you are stopping the tween while it’s not complete which causes the rising variable to never be set back to false because the code that should do it is wrapped in a Completed callback that is never called if the tween is stopped before completion.

Using tweens will probably cause inconsistencies in rising/lowering speeds if their processes are started/stopped before they are complete, so changing the flag’s CFrame is more effective and will produce uniform results. Try this:
local flag = -- Reference your flag
local upPos: Vector3 = --Your flag's fully up position
local downPos: Vector3 = -- Your flag's fully down position
local neutralPos: Vector3 = -- Your flag's neutral position
local captured: boolean = false
local playersInBounds = {} -- Array of players in bounds
local speedAlpha = 1 / 13 -- Lerp argument alpha should be between 0 and 1, since you use 13 as the tweening speed, 1 / 13 = 0.07 will rise/lower the flag in 13 seconds
function Animate()
-- Require 1 player to go up or down
if #playersInBounds == 1 then
-- Go up or down depending on wheter the flag is captured or not
if not captured then
-- Rise the flag
local targetCFrame = flag.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(upPos), speedAlpha)
-- If the flag is not completely up continue rising else set captured to true
if (upPos - targetCFrame.Position).Magnitude > 0 then
flag.CFrame = targetCFrame
else
captured = true
end
else
-- Lower the flag
local targetCFrame = flag.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(downPos), speedAlpha)
-- If the flag is not completely down continue lowering else set captured to false
if (downPos - targetCFrame.Position).Magnitude > 0 then
flag.CFrame = targetCFrame
else
captured = false
end
end
elseif #playersInBounds < 1 then
-- No one is conquering the flag, lerp to neutral position and set captured to false because it belongs to no one
flag.CFrame = flag.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(neutralPos), speedAlpha)
captured = false
end
end
I mean it rotates for some reason but yeah, it works!
My bad, it rotates because it’s setting the CFrame which also includes rotation. To keep it unchanged you want to set the targetCFrame’s rotation to the flag’s by adding the flag’s rotation and the targetCFrame’s position.
Here’s the updated Animate() function:
function Animate()
-- Require 1 player to go up or down
if #playersInBounds == 1 then
-- Go up or down depending on wheter the flag is captured or not
if not captured then
-- Rise the flag
local targetCFrame = flag.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(upPos), speedAlpha)
-- If the flag is not completely up continue rising else set captured to true
if (upPos - targetCFrame.Position).Magnitude > 0 then
flag.CFrame = targetCFrame.Position + flag.CFrame.Rotation
else
captured = true
end
else
-- Lower the flag
local targetCFrame = flag.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(downPos), speedAlpha)
-- If the flag is not completely down continue lowering else set captured to false
if (downPos - targetCFrame.Position).Magnitude > 0 then
flag.CFrame = targetCFrame.Position + flag.CFrame.Rotation
else
captured = false
end
end
elseif #playersInBounds < 1 then
-- No one is conquering the flag, lerp to neutral position and set captured to false because it belongs to no one
local targetCFrame = flag.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(neutralPos), speedAlpha)
flag.CFrame = targetCFrame.Position + flag.CFrame.Rotation
captured = false
end
end
Oversight, I couldn’t test the code. Anyway the target position CFrame needs to be multiplied by the original flag’s rotation before lerping.
function Animate()
-- Require 1 player to go up or down
if #playersInBounds == 1 then
-- Go up or down depending on wheter the flag is captured or not
if not captured then
-- Rise the flag
local targetCFrame = flag.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(upPos) * flag.CFrame.Rotation, speedAlpha)
-- If the flag is not completely up continue rising else set captured to true
if (upPos - targetCFrame.Position).Magnitude > 0 then
flag.CFrame = targetCFrame
else
captured = true
end
else
-- Lower the flag
local targetCFrame = flag.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(downPos) * flag.CFrame.Rotation, speedAlpha)
-- If the flag is not completely down continue lowering else set captured to false
if (downPos - targetCFrame.Position).Magnitude > 0 then
flag.CFrame = targetCFrame
else
captured = false
end
end
elseif #playersInBounds < 1 then
-- No one is conquering the flag, lerp to neutral position and set captured to false because it belongs to no one
local targetCFrame = flag.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(neutralPos) * flag.CFrame.Rotation, speedAlpha)
flag.CFrame = targetCFrame
captured = false
end
end

Great tysm for help, after days of searching for help only you helped correctly, massive W for you!

The only thing that is kinda strange is the Magnitude because it’s never 0
Right, the :Lerp() method interpolates two CFrames which means it finds a point between them according to the alpha factor which as a result will never be completely 0.
What you can do is checking if magnitude is greater than 0.01 since the lowest value is will reach will be lesser than 0.01.
And can i make the lerp speed somehow equal so it’s same speed while in middle and same while ending?
To change the speed all you have to do is changing the alpha value. The lower it is the slowest the flag will move.
Yeah ik, but how to make the speed constant?
Can’t test this but peraphs you can divide speedAlpha by 2 when going up and down except in the neutral case since it’s the middle point.
Well the problem i am having with lerps in general is when it’s near it’s goal it slows down, which makes it slower for some reason so i need some rule that makes it not slow down near it’s goal
