let’s say I’m using transitions to mount some objects in my game. I wanted to ask if it is mandatory to assign variables to all transitions or can they be left without a variable?
Something like:
local t1, t2, t3 t1 = transition.fadeOut( ball, { time=300 } )
Or simply:
transition.fadeOut( ball, { time=300 } )
taking into account that the transition can go free or within a function or an anonymous function?
Or maybe I should use a table?
Thanks in advance

Your question is backwards by the way. You don’t assign variable to transitions. You assign the return value of a transition.*() call to a variable. For discussion sake, let’s refer to the return value as a handle.
If you don’t intend to do anything with the handle in the future, you do not need to assign it to a variable.
You assign a handle to a variable so you can refer to it later and inspect the state of the transition and/or modify it in some way. (I don’t mean like change the length or anything. I mean interact as in pause or cancel).
