Introduction

Ever wanted to create amazing animated numbers with ease? Well then, I gotcha! Introducing my first ever open-sourced module NumberAnimation!

As seen in the above gif, The top label looks more appealing as it increments and the bottom one looks boring and lame with a sudden change. This is where NumberAnimation comes in handy. What’s appealing about the NumberAnimation class is the easiness to be used, Spring + Tween support, and some amazing little features that enhance this module.

API

function NumberAnimation.new(label, valueBase, styling)
	returns a table
	
	Params:
	- label
	Any Gui Instance with the Text property
	
	- valueBase
	A NumberValue or an IntValue which holds the relevant data
	
	- styling
	A dictionary with styling information

	{
		string Style = "Tween" or "Spring"
			Depending on which style you want it to be animated
			
		Tween = {
			number Time = Any positive number - How long the tween should take to complete
			string EasingStyle = Any TweenStyle - The style that the tween follows
			string EasingDirection = "In" or "Out" or "InOut" - The direction for the TweenStyle to adhere to
		}
		
		Spring = {
			number DampingRatio = Any number - Describes the shape of the spring
			number Frequency = Any Number - Describes the speed of the spring
		}
		
		boolean Abbreviate = true or false
			True if you want the number to be abbreviated false if you don't want
			
			example;
			Unabbreviated = 1000000
			Abbreviated = 1M
		
	}
	
NumberAnimation:SetPrefix(prefix: string)
	return void/nil
	
	Params:
	- prefix = Any string
	
	example;
	Before = 1000
	NumberAnimation:SetPrefix("$")
	After = $1000

Example

local NumberAnimation = require(script.NumberAnimation)

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local textLabel = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui").TextLabel
local coins = player.Coins

local coinsNumberAnimation = NumberAnimation.new(textLabel, coins, {
	Style = "Tween",
	Time = 1,
	EasingStyle = "Quad",
	EasingDirection = "InOut",
	Abbreviate = true
})

coinsNumberAnimation:SetPrefix("$")
coinsNumberAnimation:Start()

This is a helpful module, but essentially this is just tweening numbers with Tween Service, but more convenient with a touch of prefix handling and oop.

Thanks, This supports TweenService + PhysicsBased springs. And the ability to abbreviate numbers if needed and finally prefix handling. :slight_smile:

I don’t understand. TweenService could already do the job for us. This plugin is pretty useless.

Module can be simplified and stripped of the “needed modules”

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local NumAnim = {}
local Num = {}
Num.__index = Num

local DefaultInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)

function NumAnim.new(Label,Value,Data : table)
	local Info = Data.Info
	if not Info then Info = DefaultInfo end
	
	local self = setmetatable({},Num)
	
	self.Label = Label
	if not Data.Value then
		self.Value = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	end
	self.Num = Value
	self.Tween = TweenService:Create(self.Value,Info,{Value = self.Num})
	self.Prefix = nil
	
	return self
end

function Num:SetPrefix(Prefix : string)
	self.Prefix = Prefix
end

function Num:Start()
	self.Tween:Play()
	
	if self.Label then
		local ChangeConnection = self.Value.Changed:Connect(function()
			local NumValue = self.Value.Value
			if self.Prefix then
				self.Label.Text = string.format("%s %d",self.Prefix,NumValue)
			else
				self.Label.Text = NumValue
			end
		end)
		local Completed
		Completed = self.Tween.Completed:Connect(function()
			ChangeConnection:Disconnect()
			Completed:Disconnect()
		end)
	end
end

return NumAnim

This one also plays tweens properly, unlike yours which does it in a instant thus breaking the purpose of tweening.
It also properly utilizes TweenInfos and TweenService instead of using some cheap copy.

Thanks for the suggestions and feedback, I’m new to scripting and this is my first open-sourced project. I’ll try to improve next time.
