The name [i]tween[/i] comes from [i]in-betweening[/i], an animation technique where you specify [i]keyframes[/i] and the computer interpolates the frames that appear between them. Animating something with a [Tween] is called tweening. [Tween] is more suited than [AnimationPlayer] for animations where you don't know the final values in advance. For example, interpolating a dynamically-chosen camera zoom value is best done with a [Tween]; it would be difficult to do the same thing with an [AnimationPlayer] node. Tweens are also more light-weight than [AnimationPlayer], so they are very much suited for simple animations or general tasks that don't require visual tweaking provided by the editor. They can be used in a fire-and-forget manner for some logic that normally would be done by code. You can e.g. make something shoot periodically by using a looped [CallbackTweener] with a delay. A [Tween] can be created by using either [method SceneTree.create_tween] or [method Node.create_tween]. [Tween]s created manually (i.e. by using [code]Tween.new()[/code]) are invalid and can't be used for tweening values. - A [Tween] animation is composed of a sequence of [Tweener]s, which by default are executed one after another. You can create a sequence by appending [Tweener]s to the [Tween]. Animating something with a [Tweener] is called tweening. Example tweening sequence looks like this: + A tween animation is created by adding [Tweener]s to the [Tween] object, using [method tween_property], [method tween_interval], [method tween_callback] or [method tween_method]: [codeblock] var tween = get_tree().create_tween() tween.tween_property($Sprite, "modulate", Color.red, 1) tween.tween_property($Sprite, "scale", Vector2(), 1) tween.tween_callback($Sprite.queue_free) [/codeblock] - This sequence will make the [code]$Sprite[/code] node turn red, then shrink and finally the [method Node.queue_free] is called to remove the sprite. See methods [method tween_property], [method tween_interval], [method tween_callback] and [method tween_method] for more usage information. - When a [Tweener] is created with one of the [code]tween_*[/code] methods, a chained method call can be used to tweak the properties of this [Tweener]. For example, if you want to set different transition type in the above example, you can do: + This sequence will make the [code]$Sprite[/code] node turn red, then shrink, before finally calling [method Node.queue_free] to free the sprite. [Tweener]s are executed one after another by default. This behavior can be changed using [method parallel] and [method set_parallel]. + When a [Tweener] is created with one of the [code]tween_*[/code] methods, a chained method call can be used to tweak the properties of this [Tweener]. For example, if you want to set a different transition type in the above example, you can use [method set_trans]: [codeblock] var tween = get_tree().create_tween() tween.tween_property($Sprite, "modulate", Color.red, 1).set_trans(Tween.TRANS_SINE) tween.tween_property($Sprite, "scale", Vector2(), 1).set_trans(Tween.TRANS_BOUNCE) tween.tween_callback($Sprite.queue_free) [/codeblock] - Most of the [Tween] methods can be chained this way too. In this example the [Tween] is bound and have set a default transition: + Most of the [Tween] methods can be chained this way too. In the following example the [Tween] is bound to the running script's node and a default transition is set for its [Tweener]s: [codeblock] var tween = get_tree().create_tween().bind_node(self).set_trans(Tween.TRANS_ELASTIC) tween.tween_property($Sprite, "modulate", Color.red, 1) tween.tween_property($Sprite, "scale", Vector2(), 1) tween.tween_callback($Sprite.queue_free) [/codeblock] - Another interesting use for [Tween]s is animating arbitrary set of objects: + Another interesting use for [Tween]s is animating arbitrary sets of objects: [codeblock] var tween = create_tween() for sprite in get_children(): - tween.tween_property(sprite, "position", Vector2(), 1) + tween.tween_property(sprite, "position", Vector2(0, 0), 1) [/codeblock] In the example above, all children of a node are moved one after another to position (0, 0). - Some [Tweener]s use transitions and eases. The first accepts an [enum TransitionType] constant, and refers to the way the timing of the animation is handled (see [url=https://easings.net/]easings.net[/url] for some examples). The second accepts an [enum EaseType] constant, and controls where the [code]trans_type[/code] is applied to the interpolation (in the beginning, the end, or both).
