Hello All!

 

So I'm trying to use a Rotation Draggable to control a timeline. I found this topic: http://greensock.com/forums/topic/8842-draggable-parallax-effects-in-edge-animate/but it's for a linear draggable. I tried imputting that code and changing a few things around to make it work with rotation, but I'm afraid my coding capabilities are woefully underdeveloped.

 

If anyone could help out, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Hi and welcome to the Greensock forums.

 

This is actually quite simple. All you have to do is to create a Draggable instance and add an onDrag callback, using that callback and the Draggable's angle you can set a number between 0 and 1, and with that number you can control the progress of another GSAP instance (Tween or Timeline), like this:

// assuming that the HTML markup has two elements in it, one that rotates
// and another that has a tween

var knob = $("#knob"),// element that rotates
    target = $("#target"),// element that has the tween
    t = TweenLite.to(target, 2, {x:300, y:300, backgroundColor:"#FF00FF", paused:true, ease:Linear.easeNone});

Draggable.create(knob,{
  type:"rotation",
  bounds:{minRotation:0, maxRotation:360},
  onDrag:function(){
   // we transform the number so it goes between 0 and 1 and apply it to the
   // tween's progress() method
   t.progress( this.rotation/360 );
  }
});

I set up a codepen so you can see it live:

 

See the Pen OPWKwP by rhernando (@rhernando) on CodePen

 

Feel free to fork and adapt it to your needs.
