clicktoplaycontroller and statemachine

I almost got it working

but it causes the layoutcards method to loop - the tweener doesnt go null so it cant return so its just looping - wonder if its because im disabling the object parent before the card can move backto the location and it gets stuck or something - weird thing is i can see the card in its proper location when i re enable it...havent dealt with tween to much so going to have to dig into it a bit.

You "can" always make the statemachine and its states "public" in order to allow other scripts the opportunity to modify them. However, I would personally try to avoid it. It is good to keep the internals of a system private because it helps to avoid spaghetti code - such as if you modify logic in one place it has an affect on code in many other places and it becomes really difficult to understand. Ideally, once you have entered an input flow, the flow itself should know every way of how to complete or cancel its flow. This is also important because you want to be able to ensure that a flow is properly canceled. For example, if you had a card in preview mode and wanted it to animate back to the hand before the flow could cancel.

This might mean that a click on a button doesn't do the "normal" action when triggered because the input flow needs to be canceled first. Being able to support this conditional activation is a good thing, because if you always allow buttons to perform their actions regardless of game state then you are likely to put the game in unexpected scenarios that can lead to difficult to solve bugs.

The tweener is basically an animation controller. It keeps track of the desired key-frames for an animation and upon completion will destroy itself.

Regardless, I'm glad to hear you have something working. Good luck!

O wow k that wont work right off the bat with dotween cause how the game was made is the Z is up and down and the X is left and right instead of the Y being up and down and the X being left and right

so the Z and the Y are swapped.
wellllll bullox

Actually, I think that would produce an ugly jump because the jump offset would be linear. After getting the "jumpPercent" you should probably run it through another easing equation so you might use something like this instead:

float jumpOffset = EasingEquations.EaseOutQuad(0, 1, jumpPercent) * jumpHeight;

public class TransformJumpTweener : TransformPositionTweener
{

public float jumpHeight;

protected override void OnUpdate()
{
float jumpPercent = Mathf.Abs(currentTime - 0.5f) / 0.5f;

float jumpOffset = EasingEquations.EaseInOutQuad(0, 1, jumpPercent) * jumpHeight;

base.OnUpdate();
var JumpingcurrentTweenValue = new Vector3(currentTweenValue.x, currentTweenValue.y, currentTweenValue.z + jumpOffset);

transform.position = JumpingcurrentTweenValue;
}
}


thar it iss - doesnt work cause it shoot off to the end x instead and drops down to the targets position

playing with it a bit more

success!

if (currentTime < .5)
jumpPercent = Mathf.Abs(currentTime) / .5f;
else
jumpPercent = Mathf.Abs(currentTime -1f) / .5f ;
