How do I get full control over when a Tween starts its animation?

[Erbacher]

Hi guys,

I've had a look at the documentation and other forum posts and I was shocked to see that I can not find a answer to what I thought was a simple question.

I'm looking to have full control over a Tween's animation, for example the Tween Position Component.

As it stands at the moment I am able to attach a Tween Position Component to a GameObject and when I press play in Unity the Tween animation starts automatically.
I understand I can use UIPlayTween to have some control over playing the tween again. However my main issue is that I do not want the Tween to start automatically.

So the question is, am I able to have control over when a Tween's animation plays for the first time?

If I have missed something really simple I do apologise, but can someone point me the correct direction please?

Thanks a lot.

Just deactivate the tween in the inspector. When you want to play your tween just use

1. gameObject.GetComponent<TweenPosition>().PlayForward();

Assuming this script is on the same gameObject to which the tween is attached
