Question

I’m trying to scale and object with some easing. Which works fine. But I also want to apply a delta time value to the actual scaling. I am just puzzled where to add the value.

Here’s the scale easing code:

scale  += (MIN_SCALE  - scale) * 0.6;

How would I apply the delta time value? It’s not like when addressing a position in the way as:

x += deltaTime * speed;

This is more of a general question applying to most languages I would think. But in my case I am using ActionScript 3.

Much thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I’d probably multiply it by another variable, that changes (increases, decreases) as time passes.

scale  += (MIN_SCALE  - scale) * 0.6 * scaleModifier;

// Change the value of scaleModifier using any timers:

scaleModifier = deltaTime * 0.1;
