My tweening script for a portal doesn't play ?

Asked 136 views1 answers

I tried making a tween script for a portal but the tween didn't play script :

game.ReplicatedStorage.Event.Event:Connect(function()
	local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
	local Portal = game.ReplicatedStorage.Portal:Clone()
	Portal.Parent = workspace
	Portal.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-400,400),100,math.random(-400,400))
	local tween = ts:Create(
		Portal,
		TweenInfo.new(3,Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0),
		{Size = Vector3.new(60,60,60)}
	)
	tween:Play()
	Portal:WaitForChild("portal"):Play()
	wait(3)
	local object = game.ReplicatedStorage.Objects:GetChildren()[math.random(1,#game.ReplicatedStorage.Objects:GetChildren())]:Clone()
	object.Parent = workspace
	object.Position = Portal.Position
	game.ReplicatedStorage.ExplosionScript.Touched:Clone().Parent = object
	wait(1)
	local tween2 = ts:Create(
		Portal,
		TweenInfo.new(3,Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, Enum.EasingDirection.In,0,false,0),
		{Size = Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1)}
	)
	tween2:Play()
end)

I tried your code and it kind of worked. I created a BasePart in ReplicatedStorage named Portal. I also edited some lines to make it look nicer.

local function playAnimation()
  local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
  local Portal = game.ReplicatedStorage.Portal:Clone()
  Portal.Parent = workspace
  Portal.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-400,400),100,math.random(-400,400))
end

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(3,Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, Enum.EasingDirection.Out) --I omitted the last three default values because it's the same
local tween = ts:Create(Portal, tweenInfo,{Size = Vector3.new(60,60,60)})
tween:Play()
--Portal:WaitForChild("portal"):Play() --Idk what this does
wait(3)
end

local PlayAnimationEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('PlayAnimationEvent')

PlayAnimationEvent.Event:Connect(playAnimation)

Since you are using an Event, I assume it's Server to Server. In the other server script:

local PlayAnimationEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('PlayAnimationEvent')

PlayAnimationEvent:Fire()

Also whenever you get something from ReplicatedStorage, I suggest you place it in a variable and call WaitForchild. This way, console will let you know if it didn't find what it wants, allowing you to debug easier.
