How do I make a pulsing sprite font effect?

Hi everyone,

So I'm using spritefont and spritefont+ to see if it will work but i'm having no luck

https://youtu.be/PDz6NZ6ZRs4 see how the score "boings" when you score a point? i'm trying to achieve that effect.

i want to scale the SIZE of the number to create a "boing" effect. however it seems that this isn't effecting the font.. i believe what is happening in this case using LiteTween is it's changing the size of the box itself not the font within..

So I'm wondering how this could be achieved. when i try to apply a value.. i'm not sure how i'd apply that exactly.. that seems like the possible solution but i'm missing the link to be able to apply a tween value to something like perhaps the "scale" parameter found in both spritefont objects.

Thanks!

You can combine sine behavior (with value only) with the scale propertie on spritefont and stop sine at the end of the period

ah good suggestion. i'll give that a try. i'm familiar with using Sine in other ways.

Thanks!

You're welcome

Quick example here

sweet that looks great.

Thanks!

ok i got it to work using LiteTween.. i'm not sure it was the most efficient way to do it but it defiitely helped seeing your 'every tick' approach.. i just had to make it conditional to manage when the grow and shrink tweens fired off.

Thanks!

thanks! this helped me..

wasn't sure why Size doesn't work on SpriteFonts.. but the value and then setting scale from that works great.. thanks!
