i have a custom prompt and i want the udim2 size to be all 0 by default and scale up when the prompt is shown but when the prompt show, it just wont scale up idk what im doing wrong. i appreciate any help ty

local sizeOfUI = {}

local function getUISize()

	--store ui instance size in table
	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") or ui_Instance:IsA("TextLabel") then
			sizeOfUI[ui_Instance.Name] = ui_Instance.Size
		end
	end

	return sizeOfUI
end

local function HideUI()
	-- Reset the sizes to 0 before scaling them up
	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") or ui_Instance:IsA("TextLabel") then
			ui_Instance.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0)  -- Reset to a small size
		end
	end
end

HideUI()

local function showPrompt()
	local sizeofUI = getUISize()

	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)

	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") or ui_Instance:IsA("TextLabel") then
			for key, size in pairs(sizeofUI) do
				if ui_Instance.Name == key then
					local tween = ts:Create(ui_Instance, tweenInfo, {Size = size})
					tween:Play()
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

pp.PromptShown:Connect(showPrompt)

local function hidePrompt()
	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)

	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") or ui_Instance:IsA("TextLabel") then
			local tween = ts:Create(ui_Instance, tweenInfo, {Size = UDim2.new(0,0,0,0)})
			tween:Play()

Did you try printing local tween = ts:Create(ui_Instance, tweenInfo, {Size = size}) the size? (it might be set to 0)

yup it’s set to 0. :triumph:

i think my hidePrompt is updating the sizes to 0 in my sizeOfUI table

I’ll be completely frank here, I’m overlooking everything with a small hypothesis (so there’s a solid chance this is wrong, but I suggest trying it anyway).

What may be happening is that the prompt isn’t re-appearing because the disappearing tween is already in progress. A workaround I usually do is the following:

if tween then
tween:Pause()
tween = TS:Create(etc) -- note that this is global
tween:Play()
end


-- in a different part of the code
if tween then
tween:Pause() -- because setting it to nil has a delay
tween = TS:Create(etc)
tween:Play()
end

It may look really weird, but it basically checks if there’s already a tween in progress and pauses and replaces it if there is.

Edit: I’m not sure if you need to tween every instance of a UI for some reason, but by just tweening a Parent (or holder) Frame, every other element within it will also be tweened as a byproduct. This can help optimize your game.

Hope this helps!

hey man, thanks a million for your help.

i ended up solving it somehow. i’ll defo use your way for my stuff in the future. i need to fix my tweens as u said, i keep forgetting that i can just tween the whole thing :man_facepalming:

the issue was here

	local sizeofUI = getUISize()

local function showPrompt()
	local sizeofUI = getUISize()

	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)

	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") or ui_Instance:IsA("TextLabel") then
			for key, size in pairs(sizeofUI) do
				if ui_Instance.Name == key then
					local tween = ts:Create(ui_Instance, tweenInfo, {Size = size})
					tween:Play()
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

i think my show and hide tweens were overlapping each other and every single time that function was called it was setting it to 0 or something so i put the getUISize() here and it worked:

local sizeOfUI = {}

local function getUISize()
	-- Store UI instance sizes in the table
	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") or ui_Instance:IsA("TextLabel") then
			sizeOfUI[ui_Instance.Name] = ui_Instance.Size
		end
	end
end

getUISize()

Maybe this will work? Not sure though.

local sizeOfUI = {}

local function getUISize()

	--store ui instance size in table
	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") or ui_Instance:IsA("TextLabel") then
			sizeOfUI[ui_Instance.Name] = ui_Instance.Size
		end
	end

	return sizeOfUI
end

local function HideUI()
	-- Reset the sizes to 0 before scaling them up
	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") or ui_Instance:IsA("TextLabel") then
			ui_Instance.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0)  -- Reset to a small size
		end
	end
end



local function showPrompt()
	local sizeofUI = getUISize()

	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)

	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") or ui_Instance:IsA("TextLabel") then
			for key, size in pairs(sizeofUI) do
				if ui_Instance.Name == key then
					local tween = ts:Create(ui_Instance, tweenInfo, {Size = size})
					tween:Play()
HideUI()
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

pp.PromptShown:Connect(showPrompt)

local function hidePrompt()
	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)

	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") or ui_Instance:IsA("TextLabel") then
			local tween = ts:Create(ui_Instance, tweenInfo, {Size = UDim2.new(0,0,0,0)})
			tween:Play()
			showPrompt()
		end
	end
end

I added ShowPrompt() to the HidePrompt function

Nice! I’m glad you solved it. Make sure to mark your answer as a solution so other people don’t try to help with something that’s already fixed.

If you didn’t know there’s an Instance called UIScale, you can just put it in the prompt and tween the Scale value, it’s very useful and I use it all the time

solution:

local sizeOfUI = {}

local function getUISize()

	-- Store UI instance sizes in the table
	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") or ui_Instance.Name == "actionText" then
			sizeOfUI[ui_Instance.Name] = ui_Instance.Size
		end
	end
	
	sizeOfUI[objText.Name] = objText.TextSize
	sizeOfUI[actionText.Name] = actionText.TextSize
end

getUISize()

local function HideUI()
	-- Reset the sizes to 0 before scaling them up
	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") then
			ui_Instance.Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0)  -- Reset to a small size
		end
	end
	
	objText.TextSize = 0
	actionText.TextSize = 0
end

HideUI()

local function showPrompt()

	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(TWEEN_TIME, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)

	-- Tween to original sizes
	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") then
			local originalSize = sizeOfUI[ui_Instance.Name]
			if originalSize then
				local tween = ts:Create(ui_Instance, tweenInfo, {Size = originalSize})
				tween:Play()
			end
		end
	end
	
	local fontTween = ts:Create(objText, tweenInfo, {TextSize = sizeOfUI[objText.Name]})
	fontTween:Play()
	local fontTween2 = ts:Create(actionText, tweenInfo, {TextSize = sizeOfUI[actionText.Name]})
	fontTween2:Play()
end

local function hidePrompt()
	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(TWEEN_TIME, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)

	for _, ui_Instance in ipairs(PP_UI:GetDescendants()) do
		if ui_Instance:IsA("Frame") then
			local tween = ts:Create(ui_Instance, tweenInfo, {Size = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, 0)})
			tween:Play()
		end
	end
	
	local fontTween = ts:Create(objText, tweenInfo, {TextSize = 0})
	fontTween:Play()
	local fontTween2 = ts:Create(actionText, tweenInfo, {TextSize = 0})
	fontTween2:Play()
end
