A recent update has stopped the TweenService from being able to be used from Script instances. I am aware that this service can still be utilised via LocalScripts, but what if I don't want my code that has tweens to be replicated to the client?
Many games have been broken due to this update. While no actual errors are thrown, the GUIs still don't tween. This has forced developers like myself to choose between either using for loops and UDim changes which are very inefficient and offer less versatility, or to change to LocalScripts and risk leaking important scripts to the more basic exploiters.
This update is seemingly pointless. Whilst it may just be an accidental glitch caused by other updates, it still needs to be reverted. I hope this thread brings the situation tot he attention of the Client Team or other mods responsible for this sort of thing.
To be clear: >We want an explanation for the TweenService no longer working in Scripts >We want to be able to use the TweenService in scripts once more
Thank you for your time. Support is appreciated, as always.

| why would you use tweenservice, something meant to tween guis (that is on the *client*), in a server script. |

| To prevent most exploiters from stealing our code. Exploiters can easily access localscripts, and mess them up - or grab the code from them. |

There are Surface and Billboard GUIs too.
I'm a developer for spark studios. We keep our main game scripts in ServerScriptService to protect them from most hackers. These main scripts manage player's GUIs and when a player clicks a button that should make something move it tweens it. It looks nice and has a lot of versatility.
However, a localscript can't be used in that service, and I don't want important code to replicated and made vulnerable to exploiters. You see the dilemma.

Polymorphic"why would you use tweenservice, something meant to tween guis (that is on the *client*), in a server script." I have a friend who was doing some console work for me, and he used Tweening for effect on the SurfaceGui's, and as far as I know, a SurfaceGui would be controlled by a regular script instead of a local one. |

| I have had the same problem. This has made me so mad. I wish ROBLOX would stop being lazy and fix this. |

If it was intentional then I don't see why. It's pointless and all it does is make the ROBLOX platform less versatile.

| 100% Support, this has totally messed up any groups who have a place with a GUI that tweens at all, which if this causes events to occur, many things can be messed up, taking forever to be fixed. |

Support! ROBLOX should've realised that Billboard and Surface GUIs can't use LocalScripts unless they're in the player's GUI. Overall a pretty pointless update and ruins the aesthetical look of Billboard/Surface GUIs.
Here's my siggy... Done. |

| Technically speaking, GUIs should only be handled from the client, not the server. So it's a sound move, however I can see why people dislike the inconvenience. |

| Support. Some scripts that I use retrieve data from ServerStorage, and localscripts simpily cannot retrieve them without planting in more scripts. |

@DataStore: Well then. I guess that solves my problem, and now to fix up my scripts and find out how to be more informed on this stuff. |
