ThrowPropsPlugin wrap property value

[Flammenmensch]

Hello,

 

I was wondering, is there a way not to increase the property value infinitely, but to reset it back to it's minimum value when it reaches its' maximum and continue tweening?

 

Say, I have an object with a property which I would like to "throw" with my mouse. But the thing is, the valid values for the property are from 0 to 10. So, if the value during the tween exceeds 10, I want it to go back to 0 and continue tweening until it stops.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to the forums.

 

The API isn't designed to wrap numbers natively but here is a rough idea to try out:

 

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;


var myValue:Number = 0;


TweenLite.to(this, 100, {myValue:100, onUpdate:normalize, ease:Linear.easeNone, useFrames:true});


function normalize() {
  trace(int(myValue) + " : "  + int(myValue%10))
}

Here is the output you will get, notice the numbers on the right wrap

1 : 1

2 : 2

3 : 3

4 : 4

5 : 5

6 : 6

7 : 7

7 : 7

8 : 8

9 : 9

10 : 0

12 : 2

13 : 3

14 : 4

15 : 5

16 : 6

17 : 7

17 : 7

18 : 8

19 : 9

20 : 0

21 : 1

23 : 3

24 : 4

25 : 5

26 : 6

27 : 7

28 : 8

29 : 9

30 : 0

...

 

I'm setting useFrames:true just to force 100 updates, its not necessary by any means.
