AstraTween

AstraTween is a basic client tweening and model tweening module for Roblox to improve visual quality and smoothness. It takes the responsiblity of tweening from the server to the client, allowing for much smoother animations whilst maintaining replication.

AstraTween is pretty limited, as it currently does not have support for pausing/cancelling tweens once they begin. Any ideas for how to implement new features would be greatly appreciated.

Setup

To set up AstraTween, create a ModuleScript and a LocalScript. The ModuleScript (which should be named "AstraTween") should be a descendant of ReplicatedStorage. The LocalScript should be a descendant of StarterPlayerScripts. Copy in the code from /src/, change the parent path in the beginning of the LocalScript, and you should be good to go! Use the documentation below in order to use AstraTween from any other server script.

Documentation

AstraTween:TweenModel(model, time, style, dir, goalPosition)

Tweens a model using it's PrimaryPart as a pivot.

Argument	Class
model	Model (PrimaryPart must be set!)
time	number
style	Enum.EasingStyle
dir	Enum.EasingDirection
goalPosition	CFrame / BasePart / Vector3

AstraTween:TweenInstance(target, time, style, dir, goalTable)

Tweens an instance. Functionally identical to TweenService:Create() but with fewer arguments. Use TweenInstanceFull to access lesser used properties.

Argument	Class
target	BasePart / MeshPart (UnionOperation is untested. Use at your own discretion.)
time	number
style	Enum.EasingStyle
dir	Enum.EasingDirection
goalTable	{Property = Value, ...} (Identical to the one used in TweenService:Create().)

AstraTween:TweenInstanceFull(target, time, style, dir, repCount, reverses, delayTime, goalTable)

Tweens an instance. Functionally identical to TweenService:Create().

Argument	Class
target	BasePart / MeshPart (UnionOperation is untested. Use at your own discretion.)
time	number
style	Enum.EasingStyle
dir	Enum.EasingDirection
repCount	number (number of repeats, set to -1 for infinite repeats.)
reverses	bool (does the tween reverse on itself after completing?)
delayTime	number (amount of time in seconds between repeats.)
goalTable	{Property = Value, ...} (Identical to the one used in TweenService:Create().)
