TranslateObjectCoordsCubicBezier
Moves an entity based on a cubic bezier. Is a little "advanced" logic to explain how it works in a nutshell. You can also use https://cubic-bezier.com (select the arrow next to copy and copy the last one, remember to add a 0 before the numbers)
Info
Thanks to https://github.com/gre/bezier-easing for the incredible math behind this, i just converted the code to lua and did the NEWTON_MIN_SLOPE tweening, since precision rounding in lua seems to be different than in js.
| Argument | Data Type | Needed | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
obj | object | - | ||
destination | vector3 | - | The destination coords, you can also use GetOffsetFromEntityInWorldCoords | |
duration | number | - | Total duration in ms | |
cubicBezier | table/string | - | A table containing the 2 points or one of the predefined cubic beziers |
Dont need to be called every frame
Predefined cubic beziers
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ease | Indicates that the interpolation starts slowly, accelerates sharply, and then slows gradually towards the end. This keyword represents the easing function cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.1, 0.25, 1.0). It is similar to ease-in-out, though it accelerates more sharply at the beginning. |
| easeIn | Indicates that the interpolation starts slowly, then progressively speeds up until the end, at which point it stops abruptly. This keyword represents the easing function cubic-bezier(0.42, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0). |
| easeOut | Indicates that the interpolation starts abruptly and then progressively slows down towards the end. This keyword represents the easing function cubic-bezier(0.0, 0.0, 0.58, 1.0). |
| easeInOut | Indicates that the interpolation starts slowly, speeds up, and then slows down towards the end. This keyword represents the easing function cubic-bezier(0.42, 0.0, 0.58, 1.0). At the beginning, it behaves like the ease-in keyword; at the end, it is like the ease-out keyword. |
Example
With Predefined Cubic Bezier
local offset = GetOffsetFromEntityInWorldCoords(obj, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0)
TranslateObjectCoordsCubicBezier(obj, offset, 5000, "ease")
With Custom Cubic Bezier
local offset = GetOffsetFromEntityInWorldCoords(obj, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0)
TranslateObjectCoordsCubicBezier(obj, offset, 5000, {0.0, 0.9, 1.0, 1.0})
