LeanTween.alpha with 2D sprites doesn't work.

Hello,

I'm using the LeanTween library.

But unfortunatly the alpha method doens't work.
I want a fadein and a fadeout effect but I can't use this method on 2D sprite.

Any tips?

Thanks.

 

You can use use the value method, which lets you tween any value. So a very simplified version of this (attached to the sprite you want to fade would look something like this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.     SpriteRenderer my_sprite;
3.  
4.     void Awake()
5.     {
6.         my_sprite = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>() as SpriteRenderer;
7.     }
8.    
9.     public void FadeIn()
10.     {
11.         LeanTween.value( gameObject, setSpriteAlpha, 0f, 1f, 1f );
12.     }
13.    
14.     public void FadeOut()
15.     {
16.         LeanTween.value( gameObject, setSpriteAlpha, 1f, 0f, 1f );
17.     }
18.    
19.     public void setSpriteAlpha( float val )
20.     {
21.         my_sprite.color = new Color(1f,1f,1f,val);
22.     }
23.  

 

I just wanted to update everyone, that the latest version on Github has fixed this issue. You can now tween a 2d sprite. This feature will eventually get pushed to the Asset Store as well, I will be pushing an updated version probably this week.
