I'm using A LOT of tweens. Every dynamic animation (= that depends on game variables) is orchestrated via a tween and a bunch of tween_callbacks and tween_intervals. I wonder if that's the right way to do it 🤷‍♀️ If it works, don't fix it? #IndieDev #GameDev #Programming #Godot - ThreadSky

Almost everything I do is tweens, I'm quite deeply invested. With animation that interpolates and depends on game variables, you're bound to have much more dynamic animations.

Tween.TRANS_ELASTIC is killer btw

They're definitely a bit harder to pick up than AnimationPlayer, which is useful for more complex scenarios
But with simple animations, once you realize tweening's power, there's no coming back

Not sure if tween is a specific concept in godot or the more generic concept broadly but I too am doing mostly dynamic (float, Vector3…) animations with completion callbacks in Unity.

If there's a better way, I don't want to know yet. I'm also deeply invested in animating with tweens lol

crazy folk 😂 I almost always use animationplayer. My head just doesn't want to grab tweens as a concept. I use them, but need to read the docs every time.

Ha, that's my feeling about AnimationPlayer. Tweens are straightforward and natural, AnimationPlayers are 🤷‍♀️

I used to do everything with animations but then I practiced tweens and now there's no way back 😄

I'll usually experiment with a tween to get a specific look then add it to my giant script of tween functions to use as a quick effect library. Though I do use an animation player for more complicated behaviors

Wait, you guys are using animation players
