Example of how to chain multiple gui (and go) animate together for future searchers.
gui.animate(gui.get_node("star"),"scale", vmath.vector3(0.5,0.5,0.5), gui.EASING_OUTBOUNCE, 1.1, 0, function()
gui.animate(gui.get_node("star"),"scale", vmath.vector3(0.6,0.6,0.6), gui.EASING_INOUTSINE, 1.1, 0, nil, gui.PLAYBACK_LOOP_PINGPONG)
end)
And if you want to chain many you could leverage coroutines to avoid very deeply nested chains of callbacks:
local function gui_animate(node, prop, to, easing, duration, delay, playback)
local co = coroutine.running()
assert(co, "Only call this from within a coroutine")
gui.animate(node, prop, to, easing, duration, delay, function()
-- resume the coroutine now that the animation is finished
coroutine.resume(co)
end, playback)
-- pause the coroutine until resumed (when animation is finished)
coroutine.yield()
end
-- create a coroutine and run it
coroutine.wrap(function()
gui_animate(gui.get_node("star"),"scale", vmath.vector3(0.5,0.5,0.5), gui.EASING_OUTBOUNCE, 1.1, 0)
gui.animate(gui.get_node("star"),"scale", vmath.vector3(0.6,0.6,0.6), gui.EASING_INOUTSINE, 1.1, 0, gui.PLAYBACK_LOOP_PINGPONG)
end)()
The above be wrapped into a module to get a nice API. And there’s an asset that works on go animations: https://www.defold.com/community/projects/117048/
