It gives a Unable to cast to dictionary error on the 8th line

local Emerald = script.Parent

local text = game.StarterGui.GemFounded:WaitForChild('GemFoundedText')

local GameStarted = script.Parent:FindFirstChild('GameStarted')
local TS = game:GetService('TweenService')

local textTween = TS:Create(text, TI, {Position = 0.5, 0, 0.091, 0});

Emerald.Touched:Once(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and GameStarted.Value == true and text.Position == CFrame.new(0.5, 0, -0.051, 0) then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

The issue is that the position in 3D space must be Vector3

Here is corrected script:

local Emerald = script.Parent

local text = game.StarterGui.GemFounded:WaitForChild('GemFoundedText')

local GameStarted = script.Parent:FindFirstChild('GameStarted')
local TS = game:GetService('TweenService')
local TI = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)
local textTween = TS:Create(text, TI, {Position = Vector3.new(0.5, 0, 0.091, 0)}); -- Position in 3D space must be Vector3

Emerald.Touched:Once(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and GameStarted.Value == true and text.Position == CFrame.new(0.5, 0, -0.051, 0) then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if player then
			local username = player.Name

			text.Text = 'Emerald has been found by'.. username .. '!'
			textTween:Play()

		else

			warn('Bişey yanlış gitti')

		end
	end
end)

it gives this error

TweenService:Create property named 'Position' cannot be tweened due to type mismatch (property is a 'UDim2', but given type is 'Vector3')  -  Server - TextSystem:8

My critical mistake and I apologize for it!

Try this instead:

local Emerald = script.Parent

local text = game.StarterGui.GemFounded:WaitForChild('GemFoundedText')

local GameStarted = script.Parent:FindFirstChild('GameStarted')
local TS = game:GetService('TweenService')
local TI = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)
local textTween = TS:Create(text, TI, {Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.091, 0)}); -- 2d space :)

Emerald.Touched:Once(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and GameStarted.Value == true and text.Position == CFrame.new(0.5, 0, -0.051, 0) then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if player then
			local username = player.Name

			text.Text = 'Emerald has been found by'.. username .. '!'
			textTween:Play()

		else

			warn('Bişey yanlış gitti')

		end
	end
end)

Can you check if 'GameStartered" is on its proper location.

If it is, I would really appreciate if you send a picture of workspace where the system is located, in order for us to help you :slight_smile:

Just founded another issue where text label position is set to CFrame

Here is corrected script

local Emerald = script.Parent

local text = game.StarterGui.GemFounded:WaitForChild('GemFoundedText')

local GameStarted = script.Parent:FindFirstChild('GameStarted')
local TS = game:GetService('TweenService')
local TI = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)
local textTween = TS:Create(text, TI, {Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.091, 0)}); -- 2d space :)

Emerald.Touched:Once(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and GameStarted.Value == true and text.Position == UDim2.new(0.5, 0, -0.051, 0) then -- CFrame -> Udim2 
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if player then
			local username = player.Name

			text.Text = 'Emerald has been found by'.. username .. '!'
			textTween:Play()

		else

			warn('Bişey yanlış gitti')

		end
	end
end)

Hello,
I just wanted to inform you that tweens don’t work for text like that
In order to tween a GUI ASSET you need to -

Gui:TweenPosition(...) -- changes position
Gui:TweenSize(...) -- changes size
Gui:TweenSizeAndPosition(...) -- changes both size and position

-- specify parameters accordingly

By the way, I am new to the DevFourm.

tweens do work like that, all of the functions you’ve just mentioned are deprecated in favor of tweenservice.

Your way is not good practice. Use tweenservice for UI.

Nope its not right. It is not decaperated and If i am wrong about this show me how to do it please.
and I find the only way to tween the UI’s Size and Position is this

In a big red box on the documentation page for the functions you mentioned, it clearly says it is deprecated.

To tween the position/size of a UI, do:

local UI = ...
local TIME = 1

TweenService:Create(UI, TweenInfo.new(TIME), {Position = UDim2.new(), Size=UDim2.new()}):Play()

very very barebones example, but it shows the main idea

yes it is bro, you can’t just dismiss something without fact checking, as @SeargentAUS already said, there is a big red box, with nice letters stating: “Deprecated”.

edit: I realised my response might come off as offensive, I am sorry if this offends you.

I must had been outdated.
I usually don’t check weather these types of things are deprecated. Sorry

No issues it wasn’t offensive.
I was just quite outdated on this topic of TweenService.
During the time I learned it about this, we couldn’t use TweenService to tween the position at those times. I remember struggling to find out that it wouldn’t work.

The only reason I see to this for a dictionary error is the {Position = 0.5, 0, 0.091, 0}
The solution to this is -

local Emerald = script.Parent

local text = game.StarterGui.GemFounded:WaitForChild('GemFoundedText')

local GameStarted = script.Parent:FindFirstChild('GameStarted')
local TS = game:GetService('TweenService')
local TI = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)
local textTween = TS:Create(text, TI, {Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.091, 0)});

Emerald.Touched:Once(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and GameStarted.Value == true and text.Position == CFrame.new(0.5, 0, -0.051, 0) then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if player then
			local username = player.Name
			
			text.Text = 'Emerald has been found by'.. username .. '!'
			textTween:Play()
			
		else
			
			warn('Bişey yanlış gitti')

		end
	end
end)
