A horizontal shake method to help add hit stops to your games!

extends Node
# Make this a global singleton if you want

func shake_horizontal(thing, strength: float) -> void:
    var orig_pos = thing.position
    var current_amount = 6
    var shake_count = int(abs(current_amount))
    for i in shake_count: # Tweak these values
        var tween = create_tween().tween_property(thing, "position", Vector2.RIGHT * pow(-1, i) * strength * current_amount, 0.01)
        await tween.finished
        current_amount *= .75
        
    thing.position = Vector2.ZERO
  
# Will add all-ways shaking in the future, after I've implemented it!
