🚀 Usage

1. Start by adding TweenManager to your text.
2. Bind the text to Texts property.
3. Add modifier components to a game object and add them to the list of Modifiers. Re-arrange the modifiers to change the order of modification.

Modifiers

1.Interval Modifier

Changes the character intervals by either overlapping or differing them.

2.Transform Modifier

Allows you to modify letters position, scale or rotation according to curve over progress of TweenManager.

• Curve: Add easing to progress propagated by tween manager.
• Type: Shows the value to modify(position, rotation or scale).
• Scale: Dimension mask for scale operation.
• Intensity: Amount of change per axis.
• Pivot: Pivot point of transformation.

3.Color Modifier

Lets to change the color of letters over time.

• Gradient: The colors that will be interpolated according to progress.

4.Warp Modifier

Warps the lines of text according to intensity and curve provided over progress. The intensity is multiplied by the curve value and applied to letters as Y displacement.

• Intensity: Amount of displacement
• Warp Curve: Curve to be used by modifier

This project uses CSharpier with the default configuration to enable an enforced, consistent style.
