Tweens: Duration of 0 Makes Values NaN (Alpha)

[kainage]

Version

• Phaser Version: 3.87.0 && v4.0.0-beta.1

Description

Adding a tween with a duration of 0 leaves the object in an invalid state with NaN as the value and cannot be tweened afterwards, unless the value is explicitly set to a valid one.

NOTE: This works in 3.86.0 and prior

Example Test Code

Tweak the sprite alpha example to a tween and see the outcome. This might be happening with other values, but I haven't tested those.

Sandbox

class Example extends Phaser.Scene
{
    preload ()
    {
        this.load.setBaseURL('https://cdn.phaserfiles.com/v385');
        this.load.image('bunny', 'assets/sprites/bunny.png');
    }

    create ()
    {
        const bunny = this.add.sprite(400, 300, 'bunny');

        this.add.tween(
            {
                targets: bunny,
                alpha: 0.5,
                duration: 0
            }
        )

        console.log(bunny)
    }
}

const config = {
    type: Phaser.WEBGL,
    parent: 'phaser-example',
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    scene: Example
};

const game = new Phaser.Game(config);

What's the point of a duration of zero?

What's the point of a duration of zero?

When passing in dynamic values sometimes a 0 makes it's way down the chain. In a large codebase where this has worked for ages, it's a tricky one to track down. Either way, it shouldn't leave the sprite in a state where you cannot tween it back to a different value.
