Spring Components
Spring Components, such as TransformSpringComponent, CamFovOrSizeSpringComponent, AudioSourceSpringComponent, ShaderFloatSpringComponent, UiSliderSpringComponent and others are concrete implementations of the SpringComponent class. All of them are reachable from the Add Component menu under AllIn1SpringsToolkit/.
How they relate to the base spring
Section titled “How they relate to the base spring”A component wraps one or more spring types and exposes them through its own methods, plus whatever else that particular component needs. The naming follows one rule across all fourteen, and the API Reference spells it out.
The springs themselves are private on most components, so that API is the whole surface. If something you need is missing, the answer is usually to write your own component around a raw spring type rather than to reach inside an existing one.
Components that drive something
Section titled “Components that drive something”Add one of these, set it up in the Inspector, and it animates the property it owns:
TransformSpringComponent- Applies spring animation to a GameObject’s position, rotation, and scale. The usual starting pointRotationSpringComponent- Rotation only, when you don’t need the position and scale springsRigidbodySpringComponent- Applies spring animation to the position and rotation of a Rigidbody, so the springs cooperate with physics instead of fighting itAnchoredPositionSpringComponent- Applies spring animation to the anchored position of a UI element. Ideal alternative for Transform Spring Component position spring when using it on UIUiSliderSpringComponent- Adds spring-like animation to a UI slider’s value or fill amount. The springy health barColorSpringComponent- Animates a color, on a Renderer or on a UI GraphicLightIntensitySpringComponent- Animates the intensity of a light source using spring behaviorCamFovOrSizeSpringComponent- Animates the field of view of a camera, or its orthographic size, with a spring-like motionAudioSourceSpringComponent- Applies spring animation to an AudioSource’s volume and pitchShaderFloatSpringComponent- Animates float properties in shaders using spring behavior
Raw springs you read from script
Section titled “Raw springs you read from script”These four drive nothing on their own. They run a spring and expose its value, and your script decides what to do with it:
FloatSpringComponent- A single spring floatVector2SpringComponent,Vector3SpringComponent,Vector4SpringComponent- The same idea, wider
Use them when you want the spring behavior and the Inspector setup, but the value has to end up somewhere the toolkit doesn’t know about.
