Hi
I´m trying to tween a character in a text object but I can't make it work...
Am I doing something wrong?

+ Code Snippet

setVirtualResolution(640,480)
  
CreateText(1,"Tweening a Character")
setTextSize(1,24)
 
CreateTweenchar(1,10.0)
setTweenCharAlpha(1,255,0,TweenEaseOut1())
setTweenCharAngle(1,0,179,TweenEaseOut1())
playTweenChar(1,1,5,0)

do 
UpdateAllTweens(GetFrameTime())
sync()	
loop

I couldn't get it to work either. I tested with a full text fade and that was fine, so it's definitely the character tweening that is the problem.
You can also see in my code that I applied the tween to 50 characters when there are only 20 and it didn't throw an error. This would suggest that the method behind this command hasn't been implemented.

+ Code Snippet

setVirtualResolution(640,480)
   
txt = CreateText("Tweening a Character")
setTextSize(txt,24)
  
tw2 = CreateTweenText(5)
setTweenTextAlpha(tw2,255,0,TweenEaseOut1())

tw = CreateTweenchar(10.0)
setTweenCharAlpha(tw,255,0,TweenEaseOut1())
setTweenCharAngle(tw,0,179,TweenEaseOut1())
for n = 1 to 50
	playTweenChar(tw,txt,n,n*0.5)
next n
 
 PlayTweenText(tw2,txt,0)
 
do 
	UpdateAllTweens(GetFrameTime())
	sync()  
loop

Thanks for testing, Batvink

I´ll put this in the latest build thread.
