Tweening

Actors have the ability to transition from point A to point B using Tweening.

It allows for queueing up movements & transitions on position, size, color and other attributes as well as commands and messages.

These help with queueing actions after a certain amount of time.

The actor waits for a given amount of seconds before performing the next command.

Like sleep, but the actor is also hidden for the duration of the hibernate.

These functions manipulate the flow of the tweening

These tweens are what most people would be familiar to those who work with ITG and SM3.95

The actor transitions at a constant rate.

These tween functions were added in SM5.

A 2D or 3D bezier curve can be passed into the function to allow for extra tweening options.

OutFox added all of the standard easing functions. All of these are prefixed with ease and in/out/inout
