The method TweenPosition only uses one UDim2 which is the end position.

In your code you had two.

Image:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,0,0), UDim2.new(0.3, 0,0.25, 0),"out","Bounce",6)

I would also recommend that you use Enums instead of the strings.

Image:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.3, 0,0.25, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, 6)

Hope this helps.

Also, whats the difference between Enums and strings? I've never heard of Enums, or seen them in scripts o-o'

I just fixed your code based on the errors you have though there can be a lot more improvements you can make.

Image:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.3,0,0.25,0), "out", "Bounce", 6)
repeat wait() until Image.Position == UDim2.new(0.3,0,0.25,0)

repeat wait()
	Shade.BackgroundTransparency = Shade.BackgroundTransparency + 0.09
	Back.BackgroundTransparency = Back.BackgroundTransparency + 0.05
	Image.BackgroundTransparency = Image.BackgroundTransparency + 0.05
	Image.ImageTransparency = Image.ImageTransparency + 0.03
until Shade.BackgroundTransparency >= 1 and Back.BackgroundTransparency >= 1 and Image.BackgroundTransparency >= 1 and Image.ImageTransparency >= 1

I also noticed that you are hiding the { Shade, Back, Image } ?

BackgroundTransparency = 1 is when its hidden and 0 is when its displayed ImageTransparency = 1 is when its displayed and 0 when its hidden.

What your error was When using TweenPosition you have ( EndLocation, Direction, Style, Speed ) You have to position the GUI manually at 0,0,0,0 and then have the script tween it to EndLocation... or whatever
