Interpolates a 3D Vector between a source value and a target value using either linear interpolation or any other easing function. It can also be used to interpolate 2D vectors or scalars my only setting some of the x, y, z values and putting 0 to the others.

Syntax

x, y, z = interpolateBetween ( x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2, fProgress, strEasingType [, fEasingPeriod, fEasingAmplitude, fEasingOvershoot] )

Required Arguments

  • x1, y1, z1: 3D coordinates of source vector
  • x2, y2, z2: 3D coordinates of target vector
  • fProgress: float between 0 and 1 indicating the interpolation progress (0 at the beginning of the interpolation, 1 at the end).
  • strEasingType: the easing function to use for the interpolation

Optional Arguments

  • fEasingPeriod: the period of the easing function (only some easing functions use this parameter)
  • fEasingAmplitude: the amplitude of the easing function (only some easing functions use this parameter)
  • fEasingOvershoot: the overshoot of the easing function (only some easing functions use this parameter)

Returns

Returns x, y, z the interpolated 3D vector if successful, false otherwise (error in parameters). As mentioned before, interpolateBetween can be used on 2D vectors or scalars in which case only some (x, y or just x) of the returned values are to be used (cf. alpha interpolation in marker example or size interpolation in window example).

Client

This clienstide example uses interpolateBetween to create position and color interpolation(with effect) on a marker. The command to test it is "/marker". The position is interpolated with "OutBounce" as strEasingType to make the marker bounce off the ground and "Linear" interpolation for the color. 

local g_Marker = nil
addCommandHandler("marker",
function ()
	if g_Marker then return end
	
	local x, y, z = getElementPosition(getLocalPlayer())
	z = z - 1
	
	g_Marker = {}
	g_Marker.startPos = {x, y, z + 5}
	g_Marker.startTime = getTickCount()
	g_Marker.startColor = {255, 0, 0, 0}
	g_Marker.endPos = {x, y, z}
	g_Marker.endTime = g_Marker.startTime + 2000
	g_Marker.endColor = {0, 0, 255, 255}	
	
	local x, y, z = unpack(g_Marker.startPos)
	local r, g, b, a = unpack(g_Marker.startColor)
	g_Marker.marker = createMarker(x, y, z, "cylinder", 1, 255, r, g, b, a)
		
	addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), popMarkerUp)
end)

function popMarkerUp()
	local now = getTickCount()
	local elapsedTime = now - g_Marker.startTime
	local duration = g_Marker.endTime - g_Marker.startTime
	local progress = elapsedTime / duration

	local x1, y1, z1 = unpack(g_Marker.startPos)
	local x2, y2, z2 = unpack(g_Marker.endPos)
	local x, y, z = interpolateBetween ( 
		x1, y1, z1,
		x2, y2, z2, 
		progress, "OutBounce")
		
	setElementPosition(g_Marker.marker, x, y, z)
			
	local r1, g1, b1, a1 = unpack(g_Marker.startColor)
	local r2, g2, b2, a2 = unpack(g_Marker.endColor)
	local r, g, b = interpolateBetween ( 
		r1, g1, b1,
		r2, g2, b2, 
		progress, "Linear")
	local a = interpolateBetween ( 
		a1, 0, 0,
		a2, 0, 0,
		progress, "Linear")
		
	setMarkerColor(g_Marker.marker , r, g, b, a)
	
	if now >= g_Marker.endTime then
		removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), popMarkerUp)
		setTimer(
			function ()
				destroyElement(g_Marker.marker)
				g_Marker = nil
			end, 3000, 1)
	end

Client

This clienstide example uses interpolateBetween to create size and position interpolation (with effect) on a gui-window. The command to test it is "/window". When the window pops up it uses "OutElastic" as the strEasingType to create the bouncing/elastic effect. When it fades away, it uses "InQuad" to have an accelerating fading. 

local g_Window = nil
addCommandHandler("window",
function ()
	if g_Window then return end
	
	g_Window = {}
	
	local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize()
	g_Window.windowWidth, g_Window.windowHeight = 400, 315
	local left = screenWidth/2 - g_Window.windowWidth/2
	local top = screenHeight/2 - g_Window.windowHeight/2
	
	g_Window.window = guiCreateWindow(left, top, g_Window.windowWidth, g_Window.windowHeight, "Interpolation on GUI", false)
	
	g_Window.closeBtn = guiCreateButton(320, 285, 75, 23, "Close", false, g_Window.window)
		
	guiWindowSetSizable(g_Window.window, false)

	g_Window.startTime = getTickCount()
	g_Window.startSize = {0, 0}
	g_Window.endSize = {g_Window.windowWidth, g_Window.windowHeight}
	g_Window.endTime = g_Window.startTime + 1000
	addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), popWindowUp)
end)

function on_closeBtn_clicked(button, state, absoluteX, absoluteY)

		g_Window.endSize[1], g_Window.endSize[2], 0, 
		progress, "OutElastic")
		
	guiSetSize(g_Window.window, width, height, false)
	
	local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize()
	guiSetPosition(g_Window.window, screenWidth/2 - width/2, screenHeight/2 - height/2, false)
	
	if not guiGetVisible(g_Window.window) then
		guiSetVisible(g_Window.window, true)
		guiBringToFront(g_Window.window)
