Hey all,
My apologies if this already exists somewhere, I did a general search but was unable to find a solution.
TLDR Summary
Need tween to change speed while playing, without resetting
Details
Use case: I have an icon on the screen that blinks when the user enters a restricted area. They have a set time limit that they are allowed to be in the area before they get flagged for a violation (think shot clock in basket ball) As there are other timers on the screen, and each of the four players has separate tracking for this restricted area, I don't want to confuse the players by adding a bunch of extra timers. Thus, this icon acts as a messaging tool for the player and blinks faster the closer they get to the violation time.
Problem: At the moment I am using a TweenAlpha component to accomplish the blinking, and am altering the duration through the standard .duration member. This works fine through the editor, and even through code if I make the duration change before activating the tween; however, as I am trying to alter the duration while it is playing, I seem to be getting the behavior of a reset each time I change the duration. Since I am changing the duration each frame based on the time remaining, it seems to be resetting to the start point each frame, resulting in a solid icon rather than the desired increasingly faster blinking.
Requested Solution: Is there a way I can alter the tween duration while it is playing and have it continue from where it is at, rather than restarting?
Many thanks

Why would they reset? What version of NGUI are you using? NGUI comes with a set of tutorials, one of which lets you change the tween duration on the fly, making things animate faster or slower as you drag the slider.
