New extension: TweenGroup

[george-gca]

Description

Allows you to create a group of objects with tween behavior, performing tween on all of them.

How to use the extension

You need to create an object with the TweenGroup behavior. Then, you need to register some objects in it with the Register object action. These objects MUST HAVE the tween behavior. Then, you just add the wanted tween on the object with TweenGroup behavior and it will also propagate the same tween to the registered objects.

Can you help me understand how this extension works compared to using an object group to perform a tween?

[george-gca]

Sure.
1 - with it, you can chain tweens with a custom delay. So, for example, you create a group and want that all elements in it do a specific tween with 1s between each element.
2 - you can do tween to relative positions, like, instead of every element goes to X = 40, make all elements add 40 to their current X position

I may be able to fix all the main complaints above, but this:
[JavaScript disallowed properties]: Found disallowed properties in extension 'TweenGroup'

[tristanbob]

1) I will have to dig deeper to understand how this works. 2) This can already be done by putting the tween action inside a ForEach(Object) event.

Sure, the source code and example are right above. As for the ForEach(object), yes, but suppose you want to do this a lot of times, the events sheet would be full of events. Also, encapsulating them into a Behavior makes it an easy to use component.

[infokub]

You can't use custom JS freely (that's what the error says).
You have to use the functions in the list or you will be discarded.

If you can't go over that, you will have to add your authorization in here first:

[george-gca]

Will fix the code and add my authorization.

👋 Thanks for your submission! We are kind of confused; Your zip file doesn't seem to contain an extension. Please update your original submission post with a new zip file containing an extension 🙏
If your zip does already contain an extension, make sure your file ends with ".json", and that it is at the root of your zip file (not in a sub folder!), as otherwise it will be unrecognized and ignored by the system. If you've checked and nothing seems wrong with your zip, you can ask a member of the extension team for help 😉

Hi @arthuro555! 👋 This submission has passed all required tests, and has been moved to a PR as part of our submission pipeline. You can see the progress of your submission on this page. Community submissions are not reviewed by default, so your extension should be added once we've checked that your submission doesn't contain malicious code without further intervention on your part. If you wish for your extension to be reviewed (and thereby moved to the list of reviewed extensions), please follow the instructions written on the README. Thanks again for your contribution to GDevelop!
