bevy_tween_helpers

Optional, additional utilities for the bevy_tween

Using The Crate

• First, you should add BevyTweenHelpersPlugin, to which you can add a logging function of your choice.

• Then, register each of the following plugins for each interpolator type you wish to apply them to:

  • AnimationParentDestroyerGenericPlugin
    • Automatically despawns animation parents if it has no children left, for example a parent with no tweens
    • You may also add EventAnimationParentTaggerPlugin to automatically tag animation parents to be destroyed even if they have event-emitting-tween children left
      • Alternatively, you may also tag them manually by adding [AnimationParentToDestroyIfOnlyHasEventsLeft to them
  • TweenTargetRemover
    • Automatically removes entities from tween targets when their AnimationTarget component is removed
    • Listens to target removal tween requests and triggers
    • Combining it with AnimationParentDestroyerGenericPlugin results in automatic tween and parent clearing
  • TweenPriorityHandler
    • Handles TweenPriorityToOthersOfType, when tweens or parents have this component, fight against other tweens of that type. The ones with the highest priority will survive.
    • If you're not sure what the previous bullet means, read TweenPriorityToOthersOfType's description

• A non generic plugin that you might useful is TweenSkipTaggerPlugin, which would listen to skip-tag requesting, allowing you to skip entire animations instead of tagging each tween in them

• I also added my tween combinators, feel free to open PRs requesting to add your own!

Example

An example for registering the plugins into your app would be:

    app.add_plugins((
            DefaultTweenPlugins, //from bevy_tween
            BevyTweenHelpersPlugin::default(),
            TweenTargetRemover::<MyGloriousInterpolator>::default(),
            TweenPriorityHandler::<MyGloriousInterpolator>::default(),
            AnimationParentDestroyerGenericPlugin::<MyGloriousInterpolator>::default(),
            EventAnimationParentTaggerPlugin,
            TweenSkipTaggerPlugin
        ))
        .add_tween_systems(component_tween_system::<MyGloriousInterpolator>()); //from bevy_tween
