DOTween & DOTween Pro / Re: Tween caching issue

« on: October 09, 2015, 08:14:57 PM »

Ah I see, I think maybe I am approaching this the wrong way then. I'm not very tween-experienced, so forgive me if these are simple questions!

Question 1:
Can you explain how best to setup things in this situation?

Taking a simplified example: I have a red cube.

If I hold down the "Q" key on my keyboard, the cube should color tween from Red to Blue
If I release the "Q" key, the cube should color tween from it's current color back to Red.

If I hold down the "E" key, the cube should color tween from Red to Green.
If I release the "E" key, the cube should color tween from it's current color back to Red.

Do I have to set the starting value for each tween, based on the cube's current color?

Question 2: (semi-related)


Is the problem I'm having due to the fact that I am storing references to Tweens and Sequences, instead of just instantiating a new tween each time?

I'm trying to work out the best/most optimised approached to using DoTween. In general I am using the same tweens on the same UI objects repeatedly in my project, so I thought it best to store a reference to each tween and set AutoKill to false until the game objects are destroyed. Is this the correct approach to using DoTween?

Thanks for you help!

Hi Daniele,

Is it possible to do this directly through scripting? I have a similar problem where a color & scale sequence is seemingly holding onto a cached starting value, instead of tweeting from the current value.

Here's more specific information of my problem (hopefully understandable!)
I have three sequences on two button objects:

Focus
Defocus
Normal

OnKeyDown.KeyCode.Q = Button1 plays its Focus sequence and Button2 plays it's Defocus sequence.
OnKeyDown.KeyCode.E = The opposite happens.
OnKeyUp.KeycodeQ || E =  All sequences are paused. Both buttons play their Normal sequence.

The problem: I want the normal sequence to tween from the current value. It seems that the Normal sequence holds onto it's original starting value the first time it is played.

Am I missing something? Can you help?

Thanks!

Ben
