xNode VS dotween

For the former try https://github.com/Siccity/xNode

There's also XNode which is an open-source node-based framework for manufacturing systems in unity which I quite like, but the learning curve is a bit steep. There's no real documentation per se, but there's plenty of tutorials on youtube (incl. mine, plug plug plug) so it is possible to pick up once you've got over the foibles of how it works.

I used https://github.com/Siccity/xNode which has a permissive license. There's also a built in node solution in recent versions of Unity, but it's too volatile for me, so I went with this solution. If you need a dialogue editor for characters and want to use C# scripting that's what this asset is for, if you just need to make a node editor, I would recommend xNode.

For the underlying framework are you using https://github.com/alelievr/NodeGraphProcessor or https://github.com/Siccity/xNode ? (and if not - how why did you choose to roll your own? )

The other day I started looking into this. Discovered xnode for unity https://github.com/Siccity/xNode

Xnode

I’ve just finished implementing something sort of like that, and xNode provides node functionality that I found really useful.

https://github.com/Siccity/xNode check it and its docs

Being inspired by frameworks like DOTween and Microsofts own LINQ I decided to just make a similarly "build it up like a chain" approach. To illustrate (this was one of the effects shown in the video above):

A lot depends on what kind of UI and animations you need. If most you need is not-too-complex fading, moving, scaling and rotation buttons and screens around, then my advice is to look into tweening libraries like DOTween. With them you can setup simple (UI or not) animations in code (I think there's also a visual editor in the paid version, but I never used it). In my experience (mostly mobile gamedev) it's quite simple to use and is more than enough for animating UI (which itself is just simple or 3-/9-sliced PNGs).

I'm just working on UI for a school project. If you are not using it yet, you should try the DoTween (http://dotween.demigiant.com/ ) library out, it makes making animations through code super easy.

Perhaps this is related to your issue: https://github.com/Demigiant/dotween/issues/296

I may be telling you something you already know, but DOTween is both free and very useful for linear interpolation and tweening objects around and I'm using that to handle my grid based movement - and speaking of that, I mostly picked up how to put grid movement in using this tutorial
