Description
The following snippet provides short functions for floating point numbers. See the usage section for individualized information.
Usage
- Hermite - This method will interpolate while easing in and out at the limits.
- Sinerp - Short for 'sinusoidal interpolation', this method will interpolate while easing around the end, when value is near one.
- Berp - Short for 'boing-like interpolation', this method will first overshoot, then waver back and forth around the end value before coming to a rest.
- Bounce - Returns a value between 0 and 1 that can be used to easily make bouncing GUI items (a la OS X's Dock)
- SmoothStep - Works like Lerp, but has ease-in and ease-out of the values.
- Lerp - Short for 'linearly interpolate', this method is equivalent to Unity's Mathf.Lerp, included for comparison.
- NearestPoint - Will return the nearest point on a line to a point. Useful for making an object follow a track.
- NearestPointStrict - Works like NearestPoint except the end of the line is clamped.
History
- Added Approx function for testing float value within an offset range. All thanks to Opless for this!

/* * CLerp - Circular Lerp - is like lerp but handles the wraparound from 0 to 360. * This is useful when interpolating eulerAngles and the object * crosses the 0/360 boundary. The standard Lerp funciton causes the object * to rotate in the wrong direction and looks stupid. Clerp fixes that. */ public static float Clerp(float start , float end, float value){ float min = 0.0f; float max = 360.0f; float half = Mathf.Abs((max - min)/2.0f);//half the distance between min and max float retval = 0.0f; float diff = 0.0f;
