Do one thing one after the other (Lua)

[EvanOrSomething]

Describe your problem here.

I want to rotate gf left, then rotate her right. But I'm not sure how to make the game wait for her to finish rotating in one direction before rotating in the other.

Are you modding a build from source or with Lua?

function onTweenCompleted(tag)

[EvanOrSomething]

What would you put in the (tag)? Like the name of the tween?

[frantastic24]

tag is just a variable name, it returns the tag of a tween when it finishes

[EvanOrSomething]

It doesn't seem to be working, maybe it's because my first tween is under function onStepHit()

[EvanOrSomething]

Here's what the tweens look like

[frantastic24]

You are doing a tween every step and doing two tweens at once

[EvanOrSomething]

I know I am, but I don't know how to fix it

[frantastic24]

Make one tween and loop it with the function I mentioned

[EvanOrSomething]

How? (sorry, I'm not smart)

[frantastic24]

make one tween, under the new function you can check the current angle and do the other tween to create the loop

[EvanOrSomething]

How do you check the current angle?

[frantastic24]

getProperty('object.angle')

[EvanOrSomething]

so just like this?

[EvanOrSomething]

Nope, just checked

[frantastic24]

you need at least one if and the function shouldn't be inside another one

[Itz-Miles]

I think you also need to put "gfRotateL" in onTweenCompleted().

[EvanOrSomething]

So like?

[frantastic24]

it's getting there but you're not checking the angle value

[EvanOrSomething]

How do you do that? Like this? idk

[Itz-Miles]

doTweenAngle("gfRotateL", "gf", -15, 0.14, "expoIn")
if getProperty("gf.angle") = `your desired angle` then
doTweenAngle("gfRotateR", "gf", 15, 0.14, "expoIn")
end

check to see if this works.

[EvanOrSomething]

does the desired angle go in quotations?

[Itz-Miles]

alternatively:

doTweenAngle("gfRotateL", "gf", -15, 0.14, "expoIn")
function onTweenCompleted("gfRotateL")
doTweenAngle("gfRotateR", "gf", 15, 0.14, "expoIn")
end

[frantastic24]

Like this? idk

yeah that's correct, now you need to add the other tween using else
also note that with the way you coded this, any tween will trigger this since you didn't check for the tag

[EvanOrSomething]

She still won't rotate to the right

[EvanOrSomething]

Maybe it's because it's waiting for the 2 really long tweens I have to finish instead of the angle tween

[Itz-Miles]

If you were talking about the snippet I pasted, I forgot to change "gfRotateL" to "gfRotateR",

[EvanOrSomething]

which "gfRotateL"?

[EvanOrSomething]

Is there a way to maybe instead of making it wait for the tween to finish, just waiting like 50 steps and then playing the next one, and then waiting again

[EvanOrSomething]

If it's ok I'm just gonna work on this some other time, because this is making my brain hurt.

[Itz-Miles]

doTweenAngle("gfRotateL", "gf", -15, 0.14, "expoIn")
if getProperty("gf.angle") = `your desired angle` then
doTweenAngle("gfRotateL", "gf", 15, 0.14, "expoIn")
end

[EvanOrSomething]

Ended up fixing it on my own. I instead made 2 different scripts and put them in the same song, one for just them floating, and one for gf rotating
