What's wrong with my loading bar?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m not sure what’s wrong with my loading bar. There is no error messages, yet it doesn’t work. Please help, and have a great day.
Script:

local Frame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Frame

local Indicator = script.Parent.Parent.IndicatorFrame

local Load = 0

while wait() do

Load = Load + 0.01

Indicator:TweenSize(UDim2.new(Load, 0, 0, 65), Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, 1)

end

if Load <= 0.575 then

Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, -2, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, 1)

end

What do you mean it doesn’t work? What happens when you test it? Does it do nothing or does it do something completely different from what you want it to do?

It is not our job here on this forum to look through your script for you, understand your problem for you, and correct it for you. Throwing your script onto this forum and saying “please help” is not enough.

It does not stop when it’s suppose to.

#4

And when is it supposed to stop? When the bar reaches the end and is full? Are you saying it goes past where it’s supposed to stop?

#5

Here and yes it goes past where it shouldn’t

if Load <= 0.575 then

Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, -2, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, 1)

end

Based on this, it seems as if you want the bar to stop at about 57.5 percent of the total length of the bar.

Try this one-liner that I wrote based on the context of what I could gather from your first script:
Frame:TweenSizeAndPosition(UDim2.new(.575, 0, 0, 65), UDim2.new(.5, 0, -2, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, 1)

Your script is going to go on forever.
Based on your replies, you want it to stop at 0.575?

while Load <= 0.575 do
    Load += 0.01
    Indicator:TweenSize(UDim2.new(Load, 0, 0, 65), Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, 1)
    wait()
end
Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, -2, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, 1) -- then do the tween I assume comes after the loading bar?

I’m confused as to what you mean.

Try what I suggested, did it work?

Using while loops without a delay will cause errors. It may prevent the script from running because of the execution time-out. But if not that, the value will be multiplied so many times.

If you want it to work smoothly, you can use the ContentProvider service so you can see how many assets are left to load. You can use PreloadAsync() to check how many assets are in queue to be loaded. This service will show the real number of assets that are not loaded.

local assetsCount = 0
local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")

local list = {
    game.ReplicatedStorage.Tree
    game.ReplicatedStorage.Car
    game.ReplicatedStorage.Pencil
end

for i, parts in ipairs (list) do
    ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({parts})
    assetsCount += 1

    script.Parent.Text = "Assets left to load   " ..  assetsCount .. " / " .. #list
    script.Parent.AnotherTextLabel.Text = "Class name of the asset: " .. parts.ClassName
end

And if you want to add TweenPosition function, use it after for loop.
