Asked May 26, 2021249 views2 answers

so it says Players.TypicalVictorlks.PlayerGui.Menu.MenuMain:14: attempt to call a TweenInfo value. So um what does that mean and what do i need to fix to my script?

wait(5)

--services
local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService")

--Variables
local SideBar = script.Parent:WaitForChild("SideBar")
local PlayBtn = SideBar:WaitForChild("Play")
local CreditsBtn = SideBar:WaitForChild("Credits")
local Title = SideBar:WaitForChild("Title")

Tween:Create(
	SideBar,
	TweenInfo.new(0.4,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0)
	{Position = UDim2.new(0,0,0,0)}
):Play()

also i asked this in my recent post but no one has responded lol

Are you sure that's what the error is? There is an issue with this but it would be saying a different error. There is not a comma between the TweenInfo argument and the table with the tween goals, which I assume is a typo.

Tween:Create(
    SideBar,
    TweenInfo.new(0.4,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0),
    {Position = UDim2.new(0,0,0,0)}
):Play()

However, to answer your question about "attempt to call x value", it means that you tried to use something that is not a function, like a function. So to get this error with a TweenInfo object, you would do this:

TweenInfo.new(0.4,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0)() -- this looks weird but notice the two parentheses at the end, similar to how you would call a function like "myFunction()"

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.4,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0),

tweenInfo()

yeah i directly copied and pasted that error also, ur saying it should be TweenInfo.new,(--blah blah blah--) right? (just making sure)

no, it would be formatted like (target, TweenInfo.new(whatever), { goals })

no, I was including that as an example of what not to do as a demonstration of what will cause the "attempt to call x" error. If you want to define the TweenInfo as a variable, define it outside of the Tween:Create function, and then put the name of the variable without the () into Tween:Create. Or in your original script, add the comma right before the {table} and I think it will work
