Question Smoothly changing size large to small

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to unity and this is my first post, I'm trying to make a title screen for my mobile game, but I'm not sure how to smoothly size slightly up and then size down to 0,0 for an image, can you help me?
Because I have the button click event down, I'm just unsure on how to size it down.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using System.Drawing;
4. using Unity.VisualScripting;
5. using UnityEngine;
6. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
7. using UnityEngine.UI;
8. using UnityEngine.UIElements;
9.  
10. public class StartGame : MonoBehaviour,IPointerDownHandler
11. {
12.  
13.     [SerializeField] UnityEngine.UIElements.Image image;
14.     public  bool SizeDown = false;
15.    public bool ButtonPressed = false;
16.  
17.     void Update()
18.     {
19.         if (ButtonPressed && SizeDown == false)
20.         {
21.            
22.             SizeDown = true;
23.  
24.            
25.  
26.  
27.          
28.            
29.         }
30.    
31.     }
32.     void IPointerDownHandler.OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
33.     {
34.  
35.  
36.         ButtonPressed = true;
37.        
38.     }
39.  
40. }

 

I suggest looking into a tweening library. It will make stuff like this super simple. Leantween and DoTween are both free on the asset store. That tends to be my preference on things like this.

 

thanks I'll try that!

 

If you want to learn to program, your thing is doable in code. Step one is figuring out how to change the size of your image at all. Look it up then, in your first buttonPressed block, add that one line -- maybe use 0.5 for the size. Test if pressing a button snaps the image to half size.

If instead of 0.5, you could had some variable that went down to 0, then back up, you could use that. So step two is to forget the image for now and to figure out how to make a value go down to 0 and so on. Try making it public so you can easily see it change. You'll probably need an extra variable to remember whether it's going down, or not changing, or... . Doing that isn't super easy, but it's like a 2nd week exercise in programming.

Then put them together. Many problems can be broken into part that way.
