Text Animation

You can create a motion to animate strings using LMotion.String.Create**Bytes().

TMP_Text text;
LMotion.String.Create128Bytes("", "<color=red>Zero</color> Allocation <i>Text</i> Tween! <b>Foooooo!!</b>", 5f)
    .WithRichText()
    .WithScrambleChars(ScrambleMode.Lowercase)
    .BindToText(text);

Binding Numeric Motion to Text

It's also possible to bind numeric motion to text. When using TMP_Text as the target, you can perform binding with zero allocation using BindToText().

TMP_Text text;
LMotion.Create(0, 999, 2f)
    .BindToText(text);

Moreover, it's possible to set formatting by passing a format string. Below is a sample motion for displaying a float number with comma separation up to two decimal places.

TMP_Text text;
LMotion.Create(0f, 100000f, 2f)
    .BindToText(text, "{0:N2}");

However, motions including this formatting use string.Format() internally, leading to GC allocations. To avoid this, you'll need to introduce ZString into your project. For more details, refer to the section on ZString.
