Tween into view

Tween objects into position from off screen.

Authors and contributors to this experimental extension: HelperWesley.


Tween objects into position from off screen, or from a set distance, to create a polished visual effect.

When objects are created, or if they exist at the beginning of the scene, they are put ouside of screen and tweened back to their initial position.

This extension can be used to:

  • Make smooth transitions for UI
  • Animate simple cutscenes

Tween into view

Tween objects into position from off screen.

Behavior properties

  • Direction (🔢 Number). Default value is 90.
  • Delay (🔢 Number, Duration). Default value is 0.
  • Distance (🔢 Number, Distance). Leave this value at 0 to move the object in from outside of the screen. Default value is 0.
  • Duration (🔢 Number, Duration). Default value is 0.5.
  • Fade in easing (Choice, one of: "linear", "easeInQuad", "easeOutQuad", "easeInOutQuad", "easeInCubic", "easeOutCubic", "easeInOutCubic", "easeInQuart", "easeOutQuart", "easeInOutQuart", "easeInQuint", "easeOutQuint", "easeInOutQuint", "easeInOutSine", "easeInExpo", "easeOutExpo", "easeInOutExpo", "easeInCirc", "easeOutCirc", "easeInOutCirc", "easeOutBounce", "easeInBack", "easeOutBack", "easeInOutBack", "elastic", "swingFromTo", "swingFrom", "swingTo", "bounce", "bouncePast", "easeFromTo", "easeFrom", "easeTo"). Default value is easeInQuad.
  • Fade out easing (Choice, one of: "linear", "easeInQuad", "easeOutQuad", "easeInOutQuad", "easeInCubic", "easeOutCubic", "easeInOutCubic", "easeInQuart", "easeOutQuart", "easeInOutQuart", "easeInQuint", "easeOutQuint", "easeInOutQuint", "easeInOutSine", "easeInExpo", "easeOutExpo", "easeInOutExpo", "easeInCirc", "easeOutCirc", "easeInOutCirc", "easeOutBounce", "easeInBack", "easeOutBack", "easeInOutBack", "elastic", "swingFromTo", "swingFrom", "swingTo", "bounce", "bouncePast", "easeFromTo", "easeFrom", "easeTo"). Default value is easeOutQuad.
  • Moving in easing (Choice, one of: "linear", "easeInQuad", "easeOutQuad", "easeInOutQuad", "easeInCubic", "easeOutCubic", "easeInOutCubic", "easeInQuart", "easeOutQuart", "easeInOutQuart", "easeInQuint", "easeOutQuint", "easeInOutQuint", "easeInOutSine", "easeInExpo", "easeOutExpo", "easeInOutExpo", "easeInCirc", "easeOutCirc", "easeInOutCirc", "easeOutBounce", "easeInBack", "easeOutBack", "easeInOutBack", "elastic", "swingFromTo", "swingFrom", "swingTo", "bounce", "bouncePast", "easeFromTo", "easeFrom", "easeTo"). Default value is easeFromTo.
  • Moving out easing (Choice, one of: "linear", "easeInQuad", "easeOutQuad", "easeInOutQuad", "easeInCubic", "easeOutCubic", "easeInOutCubic", "easeInQuart", "easeOutQuart", "easeInOutQuart", "easeInQuint", "easeOutQuint", "easeInOutQuint", "easeInOutSine", "easeInExpo", "easeOutExpo", "easeInOutExpo", "easeInCirc", "easeOutCirc", "easeInOutCirc", "easeOutBounce", "easeInBack", "easeOutBack", "easeInOutBack", "elastic", "swingFromTo", "swingFrom", "swingTo", "bounce", "bouncePast", "easeFromTo", "easeFrom", "easeTo"). Default value is easeOutQuad.
  • Delete the object when the "tween out of view" action has finished (🔘 Boolean). Default value is true.
  • Fade in/out the object (🔘 Boolean). Default value is true.
  • Move the object (🔘 Boolean). Default value is true.
  • Tween in the object at creation (🔘 Boolean). Default value is true.
See internal technical details
  • Direction is stored as Angle (NumberWithChoices). Default value is 90.
  • Delay is stored as Delay (Number). Unit is Second. Default value is 0.
  • Distance is stored as Distance (Number). Unit is Pixel. Default value is 0.
  • Duration is stored as Duration (Number). Unit is Second. Default value is 0.5.

    This behavior must be used on an object also having a behavior with type "OpacityCapability::OpacityBehavior". This is stored on property Opacity.

  • Fade in easing is stored as OpacityEasingIn (Choice). Default value is easeInQuad.

  • Fade out easing is stored as OpacityEasingOut (Choice). Default value is easeOutQuad.
  • Moving in easing is stored as PositionEasingIn (Choice). Default value is easeFromTo.
  • Moving out easing is stored as PositionEasingOut (Choice). Default value is easeOutQuad.
  • Delete the object when the "tween out of view" action has finished is stored as ShouldBeDeleted (Boolean). Default value is true.
  • Fade in/out the object is stored as ShouldFade (Boolean). Default value is true.
  • Move the object is stored as ShouldMove (Boolean). Default value is true.
  • Tween in the object at creation is stored as ShouldPlayAtCreation (Boolean). Default value is true.

    This behavior must be used on an object also having a behavior with type "Tween::TweenBehavior". This is stored on property Tween.
