MotionKit Guide

MotionKit is a Unity engine tool that animates anything. It is very similar to DOTween, but with inspector super powers and a few tweaks that makes it simpler to use and learn.

There is no need for plugins. This is one of the biggest adavantages, as compared with DOTween. With a simple API, you can animate everything out of the box and it is very easy to learn.

How to Install

MotionKit depends on the Cocodrilo Dog Core tool. You need to install this dependency first, via the Unity Package Manager.

To install both in your Unity project, open the Package Manager and click the plus button, "Add package from URL..." and the use these URLs:

• Cocodrilo Dog Core: https://github.com/cocodrilodog/tools-core.git
• MotionKit: https://github.com/cocodrilodog/tools-motion-kit.git

Quick Start

C#

Move a m_Ball (Transform) from 0, 0, 0 to 3, 0, 0 during 2 seconds. Register the motion with owner m_Ball and reuse id "Position"

MotionKit.GetMotion(m_Ball, "Position", p => m_Ball.localPosition = p)
	.Play(new Vector3(0, 0, 0), new Vector3(3, 0, 0), 2);

Fade in a m_CanvasRenderer: Animate alpha from 0 to 1 during 2 seconds. Register the motion with owner m_CanvasRenderer and reuse id "Alpha"

MotionKit.GetMotion(m_CanvasRenderer, "Alpha", a => m_CanvasRenderer.SetAlpha(a)).Play(0, 1, 2);

Animate the color of the m_Image from black to red during 2 seconds. Register the motion with owner m_Image and reuse id "Color"

MotionKit.GetMotion(m_Image, "Color", c => m_Image.color = c).Play(Color.black, Color.red, 2);

The previous methods create Motion objects that handle the animation of the properties. They can be either Motion3D, MotionFloat or MotionColor, depending on the property that will be animated.

Inspector

On the other hand, the classes that handle Motion objects via inspector are collectibly named MotionKitBlocks. They are wrappers of Motion objects. The MotionKitBlocks are created and arranged on the MotionKitComponent which is a MonoBehaviour designed to use the MotionKit from the Unity inspector.

To create the same example as the m_Ball code above via inspector, add a MotionKitComponent:

Create a Motion3DBlock:

Tick Play on start or play later with MotionKitComponent.Play():

Click Edit and assign the relevant properties:

To replicate the examples of the m_CanvasRenderer and m_Image code above via inspector, it is the same process, but you create MotionFloatBlock to animate the m_CanvasRenderer.alpha property, and MotionColorBlock to animate the m_Image.color.

In the MotionKitComponent, many MotionKitBlocks can be created and handled independently:

Documentation

You can read and experiment in your own project by following the documentation laid out below to gain deep insights about this animation engine. The documents are designed so that you can study one by one in the order of the list. Have fun!
