I just started using iTween as part of my day/night cycle. I'm trying to move the sun and moon along a curve, but I want have the sun/moon start at a specific location depending on the time of day. That would mean beginning the MoveTo() function from, say, the 3rd node instead of the 1st node, but I can't figure out how to access specific nodes.

If that's not possible, is there some other workaround? I thought of making several paths of two nodes each and calling the next path once the first one finishes, but then the object has to move in a series of straight lines.

You could create a second array of points and use your original data to populate that in your desired order. If all you need is a simple orbit, though, it might be easier to attach the sun/moon to a faraway pivot point (like a parent transform), then rotate around that. –  rutter May 22 at 18:59

You must call iTween once. You would then call it each update. For example:

 public class doubleTween : MonoBehaviour {

     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         iTween.RotateBy(gameObject,iTween.Hash("x", .25,"time",2, "easeType"
             , "easeInOutQuad", "loopType", "pingPong", "delay", .2));

         iTween.MoveTo(gameObject,iTween.Hash("x",6,"time",4,"loopType","pingPong"
             ,"delay",.4,"easeType","easeInOutQuad"));
     }

     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {

     }
 }

Hope this helps!

Thanks, but I'm already only calling it once. The problem is: let's say the sun should start on the left side of the screen if it's 10:00am in game time, and it should start on the right side if it's 5:00pm. Both 10:00am and 5:00pm can be represented by a node, but how can I tell the sun to begin at 5:00pm rather than 10:00pm? –  eternal May 22 at 19:00
