Animation Sequencer

I LOVE Tween, I love DOTween even more! But having to wait for a recompilation every time you tweak a single value on some animation it's frustrating! Even more complicated is properly have to create the entire animation on your head and having to wait until you reach your animation to see what you have done! That's why I created the Animation Sequencer, it is (cloned) HEAVILY INSPIRED from Space Ape amazing Creative Engineering: Balancing & Juicing with Animations presentation.

This is still in heavy development, please use it carefully

Features

• User Friendly interface with a lot of customization
• Easy to extend with project specific actions
• Chain sequences and control entire animated windows with a single interface
• Searchable actions allowing fast interactions and updates
• Can be used for any type of Objects, UI or anything you want!

How to use?

• Animation Sequencer rely on DOTween for now, so it a requirement that you have DOTween on your project with properly created ASMdef for it (Created by the DOTween setup panel)
• Add the Animation Sequencer to any GameObject and start your animation!
• Using the + button under the Animation Steps you can add a new step
• Select Tween Target
• Use the Add Actions to add specific tweens to your target
• Press play on the Preview bar to view it on Editor Time.
• To play it by code, just call use animationSequencer.Play();

FAQ

How can I create my custom DOTween actions?

Lets say you want to create a new action to play a specific sound from your sound manager on the game, you just need to extend the `AnimationStepBase`

[Serializable]
public class PlayAudioClipAnimationStep : AnimationStepBase
{
    [SerializeField]
    private AudioClip audioClip;

    //Duration of this step, in this case will return the length of the clip.
    public override float Duration => audioClip.length;
    //This is the name that will be displayed on the + button on the Animation Sequencer
    public override string DisplayName => "Play Audio Clip";

    //Here is actually the action of this step
    public override void Play()
    {
        base.Play();
        AudioManager.Play(audioClip);
    }
}

I have my own DOTween extensions, can I use that?

Absolutely! The same as the step, you can add any new DOTween action by extending DOTweenActionBase. In order to avoid any performance issues all the tweens are created on the PrepareToPlay method on Awake, and are paused.

[Serializable]
public sealed class ChangeMaterialStrengthDOTweenAction : DOTweenActionBase
{
    public override string DisplayName => "Change Material Strength";
        
    public override Type TargetComponentType => typeof(Renderer);

    [SerializeField, Range(0,1)]
    private float materialStrength = 1;

     public override bool CreateTween(GameObject target, float duration, int loops, LoopType loopType)
     {
        Renderer renderer = target.GetComponent<Renderer>();
        if (renderer == null)
            return false;

        TweenerCore<float, float, FloatOptions> materialTween = renderer.sharedMaterial.DOFloat(materialStrength, "Strength", duration);
        
        SetTween(materialTween, loops, loopType);
        return true;
    }
}

Using custom animation curve as easing

You can use the Custom ease to define an AnimationCurve for the Tween.
