How to tween the position of a label node?

Question

Hi All.

What is the best way to tween a position (rect_position) of a label node on one axis?

Answer 1

Here's an example of tweening the position of a label on the X axis. The only trick is in knowing the syntax of accessing a single component of the rect_position object...

func _ready():
    var tween = Tween.new();
    tween.interpolate_property($Label, "rect_position:x", 100, 200, 3, Tween.TRANS_LINEAR, Tween.EASE_IN_OUT)
    add_child(tween)
    tween.start()

Thanks. And yes. it's all in the syntax...

Check the docs to see how tweens work: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_tween.html

Then, by simple substitution, I guess it's done this way:

var tween = get_node("Tween")
tween.interpolate_property($YourLabel, "rect_position",
        Vector2(0, 0), Vector2(0, 100), 1,
        Tween.TRANS_LINEAR, Tween.EASE_IN_OUT)
tween.start()
