In order to understand how to do it, you need to understand what the sin graph looks like.
We know for the Out EasingDirection, It slows down as it approaches the end. When you look at the sin graph, you notice that the rate of change decreases between 0 and 90 degrees (0 and pi/2 radians). When we put this into a function, we get:
1 | local OutEasingDirection = function(Alpha) |
2 | return math.sin((math.pi/2)*Alpha); |
[Alpha is a value between 0 and 1, relating to the distance along the lerp you are]
Using the same idea, we know that the In EasingDirection can be found using:
1 | local InEasingDirection = function(Alpha) |
2 | return math.sin((math.pi/2)-((math.pi/2)*Alpha)); |
For the InOut direction, we need to go a bit further due to the rate reversing direction and going backwards again. To solve this, we can use the following function:
1 | local InOutEasingDirection = function(Alpha) |
2 | return (1-math.cos(math.pi*Alpha))/2; |
To incorporate this into your lerp:
2 | local NewCFrame = StartCFrame:lerp(EndCFrame, InEasingDirection(Alpha/20)); |
Sorry if this didn't make much sense, unfortunately ScriptingHelpers doesn't let me embed graphs, so I've skipped a lot of the mathematical explaination. Also I didn't get a chance to test them, so if I've messed one up then please drop a comment and I'll try and fix it.
