UITweener ResetToBeginning concern

[CBYum]

I was very surprised to see that the ResetToBeginning fn was direction specific. If you have functions such as PlayForward and PlayBackward that never change their meaning then I think this should be the same for this function. Perhaps just have a Reset fn that also stops it. I was also surprised that there wasn't a Stop fn too and that I just had to use the enabled flag. Perhaps add one for completeness as you have Play actions.

Thanks

I was just about to post the same thing!

I'd like to see a ResetToBeginning(bool forward) method added, I think this would be more intuitive, otherwise I'm thinking I have to to something like this... tween.Play(dir); tween.ResetToBegining(); tween.Stop();// if there were a stop?

The name is an unfortunate side-effect of me going through and fixing all the "Reset()" functions. Reset() is actually a Unity editor function, so I had to come up with a different name.

[beermoney]

so is that a "yeah sure I'll add that little bit of functionality" or a "WhatDaMook? get off my forum!!"?

That's a "if I think of a decent function name I may add it/change it in the future" For now I've just updated the documentation for it:

1.         /// <summary>
2.         /// Manually reset the tweener's state to the beginning.
3.         /// If the tween is playing forward, this means the tween's start.
4.         /// If the tween is playing in reverse, this means the tween's end.
5.         /// </summary>

  A tear for those that follow me and also don't read the documents until things don't work as expected.

My "Reset" solution

1.                         RootPanel.GetComponent<TweenAlpha>().PlayForward();
2.                         RootPanel.GetComponent<TweenAlpha>().ResetToBeginning();
3.                         RootPanel.GetComponent<TweenAlpha>().enabled = false;
4.

Pro-tip: Always cache things. Never use the same GetComponent more than once in the same function.

1. TweenAlpha tween = RootPanel.GetComponent<TweenAlpha>();
2. tween.PlayForward();
3. tween.ResetToBeginning();
4. tween.enabled = false;
