Loading Gui Help? NOT SOLVED!!!!
I want to make a script that makes a txt button like grow in size (horizontally) and then stop at a specific spot. I also want it to say loading on it when the bar finished growing. I want it to load in this direction --------->... Can someone help me rewrite this? the size of the text box is {0, 0},{0, 110} (it is 0 because I want it to load. and it will grow once the script is right). The position is {0, 10},{0, 540}. script of what I have so far:
local h = script.Parent local xSize = 1 local speed = 0.0025 while true do xSize = xSize - speed h.Size = UDim2.new(xSize, 0, 0, 0) if xSize < -0.1 then xSize = 1 end wait() while true do function Load() local h = script.Parent wait (1) h.Text = "Loading Map." wait (.5) h.Text = "Loading Map.." wait (.5) h.Text = "Loading Map..." wait (1) h.Text = "Loading Map." wait (.5) h.Text = "Loading Map.." wait (.5) h.Text = "Loading Map..." wait (1) h.Text = "Loading Map." wait (.5) h.Text = "Loading Map.." wait (.5) h.Text = "Loading Map..." wait (1) h.Text = "Loading Map." wait (.5) h.Text = "Loading Map.." wait (.5) h.Text = "Loading Map..." end Load()

1) You can use TweenSize to easily do this
2) You never set a height for the gui
3) You are missing end's on your whileloops
4) The function Load is not in the global scope and is not callable.
5) You cannot have 2 infinite loops on one thread. Only one will run.
6) You can use a for loop
I have included 3 revisions of the Load function as the last ones might me slightly difficult for you to understand.
local gui = script.Parent
local TimeToResize = 2 --in seconds
local EndSizeX = 0.1 --The X size for the gui after the tween
local Override = true --Should it override current animations?
function Load()
for i=1,14 do
if i%3==1 then
gui.Text = "Loading Map."
wait(0.5)
elseif i%3==2 then
gui.Text = "Loading Map.."
wait(0.5)
elseif i%3==0 then
gui.Text="Loading Map..."
wait(1)
end
end
end
gui:TweenSize(UDim2.new(UDim2.new(EndSizeX,0,h.Size.Y.Scale,0),"Out","Quad",
TimeToResize,Override,Load)
An alternative load function:
function Load()
for i=1,14 do
Gui.Text = (i%3==1 and "Loading Map.") or (i%3==2 and "Loading Map..") or (i%3==0 and "Loading Map..."))
wait(((i%3==1 or i%3==2) and 0.5) or (i%3==0 and 1))
end
end
If you don't care about the different load times the wait call can be shortened.
To further reduce this function I can use string.rep
function Load()
for i=1,14 do
gui.Text = ("Loading Map")..(string.rep(".",i%3.1))
wait(0.5)
end
end
