Smoothly animates a node's properties over time.
</brief_description>
<description>
Tweens are useful for animations requiring a numerical property to be interpolated over a range of values. The name [i]tween[/i] comes from [i]in-betweening[/i], an animation technique where you specify [i]keyframes[/i] and the computer interpolates the frames that appear between them.
[Tween] is more suited than [AnimationPlayer] for animations where you don't know the final values in advance. For example, interpolating a dynamically-chosen camera zoom value is best done with a [Tween] node; it would be difficult to do the same thing with an [AnimationPlayer] node.
Here is a brief usage example that makes a 2D node move smoothly between two positions:
[codeblock]
var tween = get_node("Tween")
tween.interpolate_property($Node2D, "position",
Vector2(0, 0), Vector2(100, 100), 1,
Tween.TRANS_LINEAR, Tween.EASE_IN_OUT)
tween.start()
[/codeblock]
Many methods require a property name, such as [code]"position"[/code] above. You can find the correct property name by hovering over the property in the Inspector. You can also provide the components of a property directly by using [code]"property:component"[/code] (e.g. [code]position:x[/code]), where it would only apply to that particular component.
Many of the methods accept [code]trans_type[/code] and [code]ease_type[/code]. The first accepts an [enum TransitionType] constant, and refers to the way the timing of the animation is handled (see [url=https://easings.net/]easings.net[/url] for some examples). The second accepts an [enum EaseType] constant, and controls where the [code]trans_type[/code] is applied to the interpolation (in the beginning, the end, or both). If you don't know which transition and easing to pick, you can try different [enum TransitionType] constants with [constant EASE_IN_OUT], and use the one that looks best.

[b]Note:[/b] Tween methods will return [code]false[/code] if the requested operation cannot be completed.
[b]Note:[/b] For an alternative method of tweening, that doesn't require using nodes, see [SceneTreeTween].
