Lerp/Tween

[elder bramble]

what is the difference between the two, and are they interchangeable for use? Also, how do i know when to use one or the other

[lucid idol]

tween is for making the smoothest animations for anyone
lerp is used to get something with a percentage between 2 stuff (idk how to really explain this)

[elder bramble]

yeah ik

alright so i really only need to use lerp for halfway points, etc

like percentages

rest i can use tween for?

[lucid idol]

you can use tween for example changing color of a part smoothly from white to black

or moving smoothly a part between two points

[elder bramble]

okay so lerp is not smooth tho?

[lucid idol]

lerp only gives you something, doesn't change anything

for example

you can lerp color from white to black

at like 0.2

that's like color3 205,205,205

if you want to make an animation use tween

[elder bramble]

you can use a for loop though

i think the main difference is that lerp is linear, while tween has 11 different interpolation methods (Linear, Quadratic, Quartic, Sinusoidal, Bounce, Elastic, etc.)

so tween usually gives you more control over the way the movement looks like
