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. + [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. They can't be used for tweening values, but you can do manual interpolation with [method interpolate_value]. + 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: [codeblock] - var tween = get_node("Tween") - tween.interpolate_property($Node2D, "position", - Vector2(0, 0), Vector2(100, 100), 1, - Tween.TRANS_LINEAR, Tween.EASE_IN_OUT) - tween.start() + var tween = get_tree().create_tween() + tween.tween_property($Sprite, "modulate", Color.red, 1) + tween.tween_property($Sprite, "scale", Vector2(), 1) + tween.tween_callback($Sprite.queue_free) [/codeblock] - Many methods require a property name, such as [code]"position"[/code] above. You can find the correct property name by hovering over the property in the Inspector. You can also provide the components of a property directly by using [code]"property:component"[/code] (eg. [code]position:x[/code]), where it would only apply to that particular component. - Many of the methods accept [code]trans_type[/code] and [code]ease_type[/code]. 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). If you don't know which transition and easing to pick, you can try different [enum TransitionType] constants with [constant EASE_IN_OUT], and use the one that looks best. + This sequence will make the [code]$Sprite[/code] node turn red, then shrink and finally the [method Node.queue_free] is called to remove the sprite. See methods [method tween_property], [method tween_interval], [method tween_callback] and [method tween_method] for more usage information. + When a [Tweener] is created with one of the [code]tween_*[/code] methods, a chained method call can be used to tweak the properties of this [Tweener]. For example, if you want to set different transition type in the above example, you can do: + [codeblock] + var tween = get_tree().create_tween() + tween.tween_property($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: + [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: + [codeblock] + var tween = create_tween() + for sprite in get_children(): + tween.tween_property(sprite, "position", Vector2(), 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).

This method is similar to a combination of [method tween_callback] and [method tween_property]. It calls a method over time with a tweened value provided as an argument. The value is tweened between [code]from[/code] and [code]to[/code] over the time specified by [code]duration[/code], in seconds. Use [method Callable.bind] to bind additional arguments for the call. You can use [method MethodTweener.set_ease] and [method MethodTweener.set_trans] to tweak the easing and transition of the value or [method MethodTweener.set_delay] to delay the tweening. + Example: making a 3D object look from one point to another point. + [codeblock] + var tween = create_tween() + tween.tween_method(look_at.bind(Vector3.UP), Vector3(-1, 0, -1), Vector3(1, 0, -1), 1) #the look_at() method takes up vector as second argument + [/codeblock] + Example: setting a text of a [Label], using an intermediate method and after a delay. + [codeblock] + func _ready(): + var tween = create_tween() + tween.tween_method(set_label_text, 0, 10, 1).set_delay(1) + + func set_label_text(value: int): + $Label.text = "Counting " + str(value) + [/codeblock] </description> </method> - <method name="tell" qualifiers="const"> - <return type="float"> - </return> + <method name="tween_property"> + <return type="PropertyTweener" /> + <argument index="0" name="object" type="Object" /> + <argument index="1" name="property" type="NodePath" /> + <argument index="2" name="final_val" type="Variant" /> + <argument index="3" name="duration" type="float" /> <description> - Returns the current time of the tween. + Creates and appends a [PropertyTweener]. This method tweens a [code]property[/code] of an [code]object[/code] between an initial value and [code]final_val[/code] in a span of time equal to [code]duration[/code], in seconds. The initial value by default is a value at the time the tweening of the [PropertyTweener] start. For example: + [codeblock] + var tween = create_tween() + tween.tween_property($Sprite, "position", Vector2(100, 200) + tween.tween_property($Sprite, "position", Vector2(200, 300) + [/codeblock] + will move the sprite to position (100, 200) and then to (200, 300). If you use [method PropertyTweener.from] or [method PropertyTweener.from_current], the starting position will be overwritten by the given value instead. See other methods in [PropertyTweener] to see how the tweening can be tweaked further. + [b]Note:[/b] You can find the correct property name by hovering over the property in the Inspector. You can also provide the components of a property directly by using [code]"property:component"[/code] (eg. [code]position:x[/code]), where it would only apply to that particular component. + Example: moving object twice from the same position, with different transition types. + [codeblock] + var tween = create_tween() + tween.tween_property($Sprite, "position", Vector2.RIGHT * 300).as_relative().set_trans(Tween.TRANS_SINE) + tween.tween_property($Sprite, "position", Vector2.RIGHT * 300).as_relative().from_current().set_trans(Tween.TRANS_EXPO) + [/codeblock] </description> </method> </methods> - <members> - <member name="playback_process_mode" type="int" setter="set_tween_process_mode" getter="get_tween_process_mode" enum="Tween.TweenProcessMode" default="1"> - The tween's animation process thread.
