Tweens for Text Animation *Values*

[nscimerical]

Hello, is it possible to support animating text values like in LitMotion (Text Animation), specifically for UI Toolkit. Use case is for animating a resource counter to move towards a value, for example, when receiving 100 gold coins from a value of 0, animate the coin counter from 0 -> 100 in a span of 2 seconds.

Additionally, UI Tweens don't seem to support UI Toolkit specific variables. For example, Tween.Alpha does not support UI Toolkit's VisualElement.style.opacity. In LitMotion, this is done using LMotion.Create(...).BindStyleOpacity(visualElement). I'm already doing it with Tween.Custom() but it would be nice to natively support this functionality.

Note: This is not a duplicate of #149 (it is asking for Text and TextMeshPro parameters like color and material).

Hey,

There is currently no support for scrambling strings or animating them character by character. I have something in the works for the Pro version, but it's not ready to be released yet.

But it's possible to create a counter or typewriter animation, please see these posts:

Tween.Alpha does not support UI Toolkit's VisualElement.style.opacity

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll add it in the next version!

No worries, I've already implemented them and they were pretty easy to do with ZString. This thread is more of a suggestion for improvement for new users.

Nice! Would be willing to purchase that when it releases. Do you have a space where I can follow updates on that? GitHub is a bit hard to get notifications on. Additionally, do you have a list of features available for the pro version? I would like to take a look at the additional feature set.

Since this discussion thread is done, I'll close it now.

I think I'll create an announcement here:

And will definitely post on my X page :)

I can't give the exact answer right now, but its main feature would be the creation of animations/sequences from the Inspector. The idea is to have the same powerful tweening engine available from the Inspector with no coding.

@nscimerical I added the Tween.VisualElementOpacity() method in version 1.3.1. And the regular Tween.Alpha() method works with the VisualElement too now.

That was fast! Huge thanks
