Animation API

spring()

Returns a new source with a dynamically animated value of the input source.

• Type

  function spring<T>(
      source: () -> T & Animatable,
      period: number = 1,
      damping_ratio: number = 1
  ): () -> T
  
  type Animatable = number | CFrame | Color3 | UDim | UDim2 | Vector2 | Vector3
  

• Details

  The output source value is updated every frame based on the input source value.

  The output is physically simulated according to a spring.

  period is the amount of time in seconds it takes for the spring to complete one full oscillation.

  damping_ratio is the amount of resistance applied to the spring.

  • >1 = Overdamped (not currently supported).
  • 1 = Critically damped - reaches target without any overshoot.
  • <1 = Underdamped - reaches target with some overshoot.
  • 0 = Undamped - never stabilizes, oscillates forever.

  Velocity is conserved between source updates for smooth animation.
