Ui Animation Module

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello There!, Im currently making a ui animation moudle. However, i keep getting this error in the local script that runs the tween when clicked:
Players.ScxiptedShark.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.LocalScript:3: attempt to call a nil value

Heres the local script:
local module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“UiAnimations”))
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
module.Shrink(script.Parent, .5, .2)
end)

And here’s the module script:

local moudle = {}

local TweenService = game:GetService(“TweenService”)

local SizeCoolDown = false

local function Shrink(element, Factor, speed)
local SizeX = element.Size.X.ScaleFactor
local SizeY = element.Size.Y.ScaleFactor

local ShrinkInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	speed,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
	Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,
	0,
	true,
	0
)


local ShrinkTween = TweenService:Create(element, ShrinkInfo, {Size = UDim2.new(SizeX,0,SizeY,0)})

ShrinkTween:Play()

end

return moudle

You made the Shrink function local in the ModuleScript, remove the local infront of module.Shrink

Wait wait I see the issue now, it’s that plus you only wrote function Shrink, it’s supposed to be moudle.Shrink, writing it how you wrote it made the modulescript think it’s a function only for it, not for use in other scripts

The modulescript where you made the Shrink function, you didn’t prefix it with moudle.

It’s supposed to be this

function moudle.Shrink(element, Factor, speed)
	local SizeX = element.Size.X.ScaleFactor
	local SizeY = element.Size.Y.ScaleFactor

	local ShrinkInfo = TweenInfo.new(
		speed,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
		Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,
		0,
		true,
		0
	)

	local ShrinkTween = TweenService:Create(element, ShrinkInfo, {Size = UDim2.new(SizeX,0,SizeY,0)})

	ShrinkTween:Play()
end

if he’s writing a function in a module script, it’s function module.Shrink()

(my bad, just saw that in the code you posted)

He wrote it as moudle in his modulescript

Oops, sent that right as you edited it. No worries!

It’s all good! Sometimes we don’t see the obvious things until we look carefully!
