DOTween (HOTween v2), a Unity tween engine

Hello

DOPunchPosition Tweener gives an error and doesn't apply ChangeEndValue or ChangeStartValue function calls with passing Vector3

Code (CSharp):

1. DOTWEEN ► ChangeEndValue: incorrect newEndValue type (is UnityEngine.Vector3, should be UnityEngine.Vector3[])
2. UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning (object)
3. DG.Tweening.Core.Debugger:LogWarning (object,DG.Tweening.Tween) (at D:/DG/_Develop/__UNITY3_CLASSES/_Holoville/__DOTween/_DOTween.Assembly/DOTween/Core/Debugger.cs:46)
4. DG.Tweening.Core.TweenerCore`3<UnityEngine.Vector3, UnityEngine.Vector3[], DG.Tweening.Plugins.Options.Vector3ArrayOptions>:ChangeEndValue (object,single,bool) (at D:/DG/_Develop/__UNITY3_CLASSES/_Holoville/__DOTween/_DOTween.Assembly/DOTween/Core/TweenerCore.cs:84)
5. GameManager/<AnimateEffect>d__96:MoveNext () (at Assets/Scripts/GameManager.cs:678)
6. UnityEngine.UnitySynchronizationContext:ExecuteTasks ()

It wants Vector3 array but Vector3[] also doesn't work. Documentations don't have enough information or I can't find. Does DOPunchPosition function support ChangeEndValue()?

 

HI Guys,

need a little help.. Is there away to covert this to DOtween?

Code (CSharp):

1. playerCam.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp(playerCam.localPosition, newZoom, Time.deltaTime * speed);
2. playerCam.localRotation = Quaternion.Lerp(playerCam.localRotation, newZoomRotation, Time.deltaTime * speed);

 

Hi there,
Just wondering - after I told an object to DOTween, is there a way for me to check from a different object/script if that object is tweening or not?

I'm asking because I want to be able to dynamically change the speed of dotweens during runtime.

 

Is there a new/better way to use DoTween with UniRx now?

 

How do I debug this and find where the null target is? As you can see from the screenshot, the stack trace is showing just for DOTween and none of my own code. As far as I can see, all my components have their fields assigned.. but there's a lot to check ..

 

Hello. I wish to use DOTweenAnimation component to shake position of a gameobject. I see all parameters in inspector (like vibrato, randomness, snapping) except fadeOut, the one i really need. Did you miss it ?

 

Hey!

Not really a bug or anything, just wondering if I'm going about this correctly.

I'm going for a PerCharacter TextMesh animation where the letters spill in from offscreen on the right into the center.

Wait there for a few seconds.

Then go offscreen to to the left.

It's.. sort of working? Since it requires that the text be visible, you can see a few milliseconds of jitter when moving from the center to the right (to prepare the transition to the center).

It starts in the center, caches the position, moves the characters to the rgiht. Tweens to center, waits, then tweens offscreen to the left.

The issue I am having is a question of "Is this the optimal way to do this?". Tha main issue though is inaccurate aching of characters' centered positions.

A visual of it in action:

Original centered position:

tl;dr:

1. Is there a better way to tween to and from a position with TextMesh Pro.
2. Is there a wiser way to handle this than what I've got going on?

 

I mean, this is sort of one of those iterations of "bug or feature" lol

it doesnt look bad, and it does the job I guess.

I do want to be able to handle this more accurately in the future though. shaking text, etc. text animation effects, where I'll want to tween then return to original position.

 

Hi everyone. Im trying to use a simple DOColor on SpriteRenderer but eventhough I have all setup the Spriterenderer (in fact all of them - DOMove works perfectly), I cant access it. Sry for a noob question. tx for help

 

I've got DOTweenAnimationfrom quite a time but mostly used from code.
Today I tried to use the DOTweenAnimation componen, so:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. private void Start()
3. {
4.     DOTweenAnimation spinAnimation = GetComponent<DOTweenAnimation>();
5.     spinAnimation .onComplete.AddListener(OnSpinAnimationComplete);
6. }
7.  
8. public void Spin()
9. {
10.      Debug.Log("spin animation start");
11.     spinAnimation .DORestart();
12.     spinAnimation.Play();
13. }
14.  
15. public void OnSpinAnimationComplete()
16. {
17.   Debug.Log("spin animation complete");
18. }
19.  
20.  

The problem is when I call Spin() in runtime the Tween is not starting. If i test it trough the preview from the DOTweenAnimation component it works but the complete is not called.

So is there some other way or some example of using the DOTweenAnimation component from code.

 

Hey guys, I've encountered this problem, would be glad to have some help!

Code (CSharp):

1. transform.DORotate(new Vector3(0, 0, 10), 1f).SetLoops(-1, LoopType.Incremental).Play();

Supposedly it continuously rotate 10 degree every second, but it behaves like LoopType.Restart

I also tried DOLocalRotate, but it gives the same undesired result.

 

watch out for onComplete vs OnComplete

 

You need to set the rotation mode to WorldAxisAdd,

Code (CSharp):

1. transform.DORotate(new Vector3(0, 0, 10), 1f, RotateMode.WorldAxisAdd).SetLoops(-1, LoopType.Incremental).Play();

 

Double checked, this doesn't work either. What might I be missing on?

 

Try RotateMode.LocalAxisAdd ?

 

Hello, DoPunchPosition not allow other tween to perform in sequence. Anyone Know why and what to do?

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     seq = DOTween.Sequence();
3.         seq.Append(transform.DOMove(pos, duration));
4.         seq.Join(transform.DOPunchPosition(Vector3.right, duration, 5, 1));

DoMove not work in this case just Punch works.

 

That doesn't help either

 

Hi, I am using DoTweenPro to have a platform move up, rotate then move back to its original position. I am using an OnCollision to activate the DOTweenPath (move platform up)--> OnComplete--> DoTweenAnimation.DoPlay (rotate)---> OnComplete--> DoTweenPath.DoPlayBackwards (return platform to original position). It works the first time but problem is when I do another collision it will not start again, any suggestions? thnx
vid here https://www.loom.com/share/dd02cd8dd351425f9ab4dd3bd8411c57?t=14

 

Is DoTween still supported, been almost a year since an update? Thank

 

This was super helpful for using OnComplete, I wish it was stickied

 

Not sure if this is still actively supported since I didn't get any reply writing through the contact form but I give it a go, maybe someone else can help me?

I have a problem with DOTween having to adjust its capacity when playing levels in my mobile game. I’m sure I have something set up the wrong way because the game doesn’t ‘expand’ or get more complex over time, meaning there should always be the same amount of tweens used more or less.



I unfortunately do not understand why this is happening since the tweens are automatically killed. Could you help me to figure out why this is happening or where I should be looking?

I might not be understanding the core logic of how to use the tweens? Or is this behavior normal?

Btw, I'm using Playmaker actions to use tweens (if that makes a difference).

 

Hello!
Had a suggestion regarding DOTweenAnimation and Fade. When using fade on an Image that also has a CanvasGroup, it allows to select which element to target: the Image itself or the CanvasGroup.
For Text though, it doesn't really offer that option... it would be quite useful since sometimes text gets complicated with rich text coloring and a global CanvasGroup for fading it all works great.

Workaround: currently I'm just parenting that 'complex rich text' to a parent that holds the canvas group but since the functionality is already there for Image maybe it makes sense to expand it to other UI elements.
My .00002 cents.

 

I suspect that you are creating tweens in an Update(); Don't do that.

No.

Me too

Sorry, I've never used Playmaker so I cannot provide any further assistance. Perhaps the Playmaker forum will be of more help. I do believe that there are more Playmaker people what use DoTween than DoTween people what use Playmaker.*

*I have no statistics to back this up this assertion.

 

That code does exactly what it says on the tin. Are you SURE it behaves like LoopType.Restart ?
If you change the LoopType to LoopType.Restart it does the exact same thing !?

You haven't confused the EaseOut behaviour at the end of of every 10° increment ?
Setting the Ease makes no difference?

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. transform.DORotate(new Vector3(0, 0, 45), 1f)
3.     .SetLoops(-1, LoopType.Incremental)
4.     .SetEase(Ease.Linear)
5.     .Play();

If is IS restarting, you're doing something to restart it somewhere else in your code .. and you haven't provided enough information, beacuse:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using DG.Tweening;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Spinnerella : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     private void Start()
8.     {
9.         transform.DORotate(new Vector3(0, 0, 10), 1f)
10.            .SetLoops(-1, LoopType.Incremental)
11.            .SetEase(Ease.Linear)
12.            .Play();
13.     }
14.  
15. }
16.  

No issues whatsoever

 

There is no direct way to use playmaker actions in update method. Only if there is a specific setting for this which dotween actions do not have.

I think I found the culprit though. I have rotating coins in my game and to rotate them they are using dotween. I now got rid of the tween for this purpose and the error message is gone.

What I did with those rotating coins is that they were in a prefab and that prefab got spawned with PoolBoss inside a levelsection prefab. Maybe it created like this continuously a copy of the tween for the coins instead of re-using it or killing it? Does something like this ring a bell or make sense? Coins within a prefab that gets spawned and despawned continously, each coin running a playmaker action with that rotating tween applied...

 

Sadly, my dude, nobody is able to tell you what PoolBoss is doing to your Playmaker actions that is confounding DoTween ... Not without looking through your project, that is.

I must tell you, however, that 9 times out of 10 * when DoTween starts maxing out the tweens like that, it's because they are being created ad nauseum due to user error. The usual culprit is spamming tweens out in an Update loop; Whether you're aware of it or not. Who knows what's going on within the black boxes of PlayMaker and PoolBoss.. Certainly not I.

You can send me a dm [click ma name and start a conversation ] if you need someone to look at your project.


*not an actual statistic

 

Hello, I love DOTween and I purchased Pro.
Handle all animations in inspector via DOTweenAnimation is nice. But I have a problem.

I'm using two animations for one object; for showing/hiding animation.
I want different Ease for each animation, so PlayBackward was not an option.

When I set type of showing animation FROM, hiding animation (which is TO type) doesn't playing.
Using FROM/TO type animation at same object is invalid? If then, what is best practice for Show/Hide animations?

Thanks in advance!

 

Hello, Am I supposed to get GC allocation with DoTween?

below is what I read on the website, how do I do this?

caches and reuses stuff automatically (if you want) and doesn't generate any useless GC allocations

This is what I am running:

tween = hand.DOLocalRotate(handEuler, movementTime, RotateMode.FastBeyond360);

How do I eliminate gc? Thanks!

 

I can't for the life of me workout why I can't kill a sequence. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Code (CSharp):

1. Sequence sequence;
2.  
3. private void OnEnable()
4. {
5. sequence = DOTween.Sequence();
6. }
7.  
8. private void Update()
9.     {
10.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.K))
11.         {
12.             Debug.Log("Kill tween!");
13.             //sequence.Kill(true);
14.             //sequence.Kill();
15.             DOTween.Kill(sequence);
16.         }
17.  
18.     }
19.  
20. public IEnumerator UpdateCameraValues(float delay, float duration)
21.     {
22.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(delay);
23.         sequence.Append(DOTween.To(() => currentPerc, x => currentPerc = x, targetPerc, duration).SetEase(Ease.OutExpo));
24.     }

 

Since you have a reference to the Sequence, you can kill it directly:

Code (CSharp):

1. sequence.Kill();

 

I think they tried this - as as can be seen in the commented-out code.

My guess is: You're killing the sequence, but not the coroutine what is continually appending to the sequence.
Just a guess.

How often is UpdateCameraValues being called? Updating DoTween in this manner is not ideal. One should not have to start an Coroutine to control DoTween. Do have a look at DoTween's OnUpdate() callback

 

Is DoTween working with unity 2021 versions?

 

I'm not calling UpdateCameraValues() on update. I use the coroutine for the delay at the start. But all the function does is wait then start tweening currentValue to targetValue.

In the update I check to see if the currentValue var is different from the values on the camera and if they are I update them. Like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  private void Update()
2.     {
3.         //Update FOV
4.         if (playerVcam.m_Lens.FieldOfView != fovCurve.Evaluate(currentPerc))
5.         {
6.             playerVcam.m_Lens.FieldOfView = fovCurve.Evaluate(currentPerc);
7.         }
8.         //Update Cam transform
9.         if (transposer.m_FollowOffset.y != offsetCurve.Evaluate(currentPerc))
10.         {
11.             transposer.m_FollowOffset.y = offsetCurve.Evaluate(currentPerc);
12.         }
13.         //Update aim target
14.         if (composer.m_TrackedObjectOffset.y != aimCurve.Evaluate(currentPerc))
15.         {
16.             composer.m_TrackedObjectOffset.y = aimCurve.Evaluate(currentPerc);
17.         }
18.     }

But just to be sure, you're saying there is nothing wrong with the following method of killing the sequence in this context?

Code (CSharp):

1.  sequence.Kill();

If that's the case then at least I know where NOT to look for solutions.

 

Did you know that you can chain a Delay() method onto your sequence?
This eliminates the need to spin up a couroutine just for a delay.

And sequence.Kill() should kill that tween. If not... you're doing something somewhere.

EDIT:
Do you really need a sequence? It appears you're only doing 1 tween.

Heres a simple tween with delay and onupdate that kills itself
Try it out see that it works. See if you can apply the concept to your own code.

Code (CSharp):

1. using DG.Tweening;
2. using DG.Tweening.Core;
3. using DG.Tweening.Plugins.Options;
4. using UnityEngine;
5.  
6. public class KillKillKill : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.  
9.     void Start()
10.     {
11.         DoThatMoveYouDo(1.2f, 10f);
12.     }
13.  
14.     private void DoThatMoveYouDo(float delay, float duration)
15.     {
16.         TweenerCore<Vector3, Vector3, VectorOptions> myTween = null; // gotta initialize
17.                                                                      // so can call the local variable
18.                                                                      // in OnUpdate
19.        
20.         myTween = transform.DOMoveX(10, duration)
21.             .SetDelay(delay)
22.             .SetEase(Ease.OutExpo)
23.             .OnUpdate(() =>
24.             {
25.                 if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.K))
26.                 {
27.                     myTween.Kill();
28.                 }
29.             });
30.     }
31. }

Hi all,

bought the dotween pro, but apparently it seems to be abandoned by the developer as there is no documentation for the pro asset.

I want to run both these animations in parallel. Is this something I can do?

 

Hi Farazk,
I am a DOTween beginer but what's the matter ? both tween will autoplay on start I think.

 

I have a problem to restart a tween. It's a shake position. It's playing fine and I can restart it. But on restart it will shake using the previous local position.

Is there a way to
1 play a tween,
2 move the gameobject, do some game stuff
3 restart this tween but using current local position (not the local position of step 1)

Thank you for your help

 

For some reason I'd only ever really controlled tweens as sequences. But controlling it as a tween , using the tweener settings/call backs and ditching the coroutine is working much nicer. Thank you!

 

Use parameters.
Post some code, I'll give you some pointers.
Post pics of the GUI, and I'll tell you to learn how to code Just kidding [ not really ]

 

I'm using dotween to make an yoyo behavior between values invoking something after each step, but I figured out that dotween counting time is strange so I make this simple example to show. What am I doing wrong?

Example:


Code:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Test : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public float dotweenTimer = 0f;
4.     public float manualTimer = 0f;
5.  
6.     private void Start()
7.     {
8.         DOTween
9.             .To(() => dotweenTimer, (x) => dotweenTimer = x, 1000f, 1000f)
10.             .SetLoops(-1);
11.  
12.         StartCoroutine(MyTimer());
13.     }
14.  
15.     private IEnumerator MyTimer()
16.     {
17.         while (true)
18.         {
19.             manualTimer += Time.deltaTime;
20.  
21.             yield return null;
22.         }
23.     }
24. }

 

your "dotweenTimer" is a timer in name only. Might as well call it "dotweenPotatoPeeler" and then marvel as to why your potatoes remain unpeeled.

It's not a timer, it's a tweener, and unless you've set your Ease values to Linear in the setup [ or append .SetEase() ], it's gonna start fast and end slow.

If you want to use time, you need to reference time...
Take a look at useSmoothDeltaTime and .SetSpeedBased()

Docs

 

Can anyone please tell me how can I call these tween animations from script? Like I have a script attached to this gameObject. How do I reference these animations and how do I play them?

Thanks

 

Not ignoring your pleas for help; I've just never even once looked at the GUI.

This should help

 

First of all thanks for your help

I didn't really get this help, SetSpeed only make my value go crazy (below image) if I call with the default value and stay the same if change the parameter to false and useSmoothDeltaTime does not make sense for me, what I want here isn`t change the update methods, also it didn't solve the problem



BUT inside SetSpeed description it appears "NOTE: if you want your speed to be constant, also set the ease to Ease.Linear." and this makes the thing happen in the way that I want


So it is solved, but only to make sure that I understood it right, can you clarify to me two things?

First:

Are you saying that if I tell a tween to increase from 1 to 100 in 100 seconds the numbers will not increase in one per second? Because this is the behavior that I've been expecting

Second:
Ease.Linear isn't the default kind of ease used in tweens?

[EDIT] As soon as I posted it I tried to change the default ease type and then found the answer to the two questions


Default isn't linear, so this will make counter things count in a "strange" way


[EDIT 2]
But this gimme a new question. I haven't seen changes when I try to change the defaultEaseType. So my question is:

It is possible to change this default type? Because as it returns the ease and I haven't seen changes when I equal this to a new ease type, it makes me think that this is somekind of "read only" thing.

 

Me: Look at SetSpeedBased
You: That didn't help
Also You: Looking at SetSpeedBased solved my problem.
Me:

By default, yes, that is what I am saying.

It isn't.

Tools > Demigiant > DoTween Utility Panel

 

You're right hehe this was funny, but I mean, it isn't the SetSpeedBased that solves the problem, is a note that exists in the description.

Jokes apart, thanks for your help

 

Thank you. I tried getting tweens on the current game object using:

Code (CSharp):

1. private DOTweenAnimation animationTweens;
2.     private List<Tween> deathTweens;
3.  
4.     void Start()
5.     {
6.         animationTweens = GetComponent<DOTweenAnimation>();
7.         deathTweens = animationTweens.GetTweens();
8.         print(deathTweens);
9.     }

But I'm getting the error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Is this the correct way to go about this?

 

Is there a DOTween animation also attached to the gameObject upon which this script is attached?
If not, that would account for the Object Reference error. The gameObject itself ... not on child objects; Otherwise you would need to use GetComponentInChildren<>()



This simple code will get the tweens on the same object ... so you're real close with the code you posted.

Code (CSharp):

1. using DG.Tweening;
2. using UnityEngine;
3.  
4. public class ARealTweenGetter : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6. void Start()
7.     {
8.         var tweens = GetComponent<DOTweenAnimation>().GetTweens();
9.         foreach (var tween in tweens) { Debug.Log(tween); }
10.     }
11.  
12. }
13.  

if you want to find tweens on another game object, you'll need to use public fields and you can drag that gameObject into place with the inspector.

Code (CSharp):

1. using DG.Tweening;
2. using UnityEngine;
3.  
4. public class ARealTweenGetter : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public DOTweenAnimation TheTweensITellsYa; // Set in inspector
7.  
8.     void Start()
9.     {
10.         foreach (var tween in TheTweensITellsYa.GetTweens())
11.         {
12.             Debug.Log(tween);
13.         }
14.     }
15. }

 

As others have already mentioned in this thread, I'm getting the following error each time I exit Play Mode (I have turned on Verbose logging, but no other information is provided:



This is on Windows 10, Unity 2020.3.5f1, DoTween Pro 1.0.244.

All I have done is to create a DoTween Path, in the Inspector, for a simple animation, which runs automatically and does an AutoKill (supposedly - see update below!).

The one thing I have noticed though is that when I delete this Prefab with the tween, the path line stays in the editor scene view. See below:

Original Prefab (screen) with the animation:


This performs the animation of a small ship flying to the planet. This entire prefab is then deleted, and another one instantiated (new screen below), but as you can see, the path is still visible in the scene editor view:



Not sure if this is related to the error as the error happens even if I quit the Play mode when the first prefab is still active.

If anyone has any clues, I'd be grateful for any pointers!

(By the way, it has nothing to do with deleting and instantiating the prefabs, as it happens regardless. I've tested it with just the path animation prefab on its own).

UPDATE
It seems that if I kill the tween myself, in my script, when I'm done with it, it resolves the problem. Seems the AutoKill doesn't appear to kill the tween in my case.

 

Hello there, just a few pointers on this as I kinda out of laziness do a lot of in-editor animation stuff: no compiling, can preview them directly (the main benefit for me), etc.
There are a couple of ways to call the DOTweenAnimations for the GUI, however a couple of points:

• I have had issues with DOTweens without ID, so in your stack of tweens make sure to have all of them with an ID. I usually go the extra mile and create a 'DOTween' empty game object and start adding 'DOTween animation groups' as children, putting the ID name the same as the gameobject's name that holds the DOTween's series of animations. These DOTweens instead of 'self', they target the specific objects it's supposed to animate.
  • 
• If the DOTween is to be called manually and several times (one of the main benefits of DOTween, since the animations are basically "cached"), deselect both AutoPlay and AutoKill
• Get the tweens themselves with script and call the function you want (PlayForward, PlayBackwards, Restart, etc) but on ONLY one of them, this will make it trigger all the ones in the object (I think this is undocumented, I just found out). The main DOTweenAnimation gameobject component has an interface for that.
• Or use Unity Events (may favourite way as it allows for binding/un-binding in-editor) and drag and drop the game object and call the functions there. For example, unity 'buttons' have an event 'OnClick' ready to use, so you can call the animation every time the button is pressed
  • 

I use this so much that I went ahead and did wrapper managers, tools, etc around it but all based on the series of bullet points above. It's basically to get around the somewhat UX harsh nature of the GUI Inspector, but make no mistake, I find it really powerful and quick to do playful and fancy animations with ONLY the GUI version and very minor "High Level" scripts that call specific UnityEvents at the right time.


Hope this all helps.
