How do I restart tweens in DOTween and Unity?

Question

I am trying to restart a couple of tweens when I load a new scene. So far, I have this in MainMenuController.cs :

void Start () {
    if (currentScene.name == "MainMenuScene") {
        Debug.Log("In current scene");
        tweenList[0] = mainMenuText.transform.DOShakePosition(5, 10)
                                   .SetAutoKill(false).SetRecyclable(true);
        tweenList[1] = playGameButton.transform.DOShakePosition(5, 10)
                                     .SetAutoKill(false).SetRecyclable(true);
        tweenList[2] = exitGameButton.transform.DOShakePosition(5, 10)
                                     .SetAutoKill(false).SetRecyclable(true);
        DOTween.RestartAll(false);
    }

}

However, this does not start when I reload the scene using

public void ExitToMainMenu() {
        SceneManager.LoadScene("MainMenuScene");
    }

The above is called from another script. Is there some way to restart my tweens when the scene is loaded again?

Answer 1

You don't need to call these:

SetAutoKill(false)
SetRecyclable(true);

Don't mess with DOTween's settings unless you know what you're doing! :)

Also, don't call Start() from another script. Start() is for Unity, not for you :D. Make another method like StartTweens() and do:

public void StartTweens(){

    if (currentScene.name == "MainMenuScene") {
            Debug.Log("In current scene");

            foreach(Tweener tw in tweenList)
                tw.DOKill(); // or tw.Kill();

            tweenList[0] = mainMenuText.transform.DOShakePosition(5, 10);                    
            tweenList[1] = playGameButton.transform.DOShakePosition(5, 10);   
            tweenList[2] = exitGameButton.transform.DOShakePosition(5, 10);

    }
}

Then call StartTweens() in Start().
