I was super excited when I saw the demo, but now I'm trying to combine rotate and drag (kinda like playing cards, or a table of photos maybe) and am starting to run into problems.

 

I know this is probably not what it was originally designed for, and maybe there's a better way or a better plugin for this, but I thought I'd pop this up anyway as a kind of curveball request.

 

Has anyone done this before? Is there a better way?

 

Thanks!

Hi captainlardnicus

 

You were on the right track, but you had some CSS positioning problems going on.

 

If you want more control, you can manually create the rotation when onDragEnd is called using the ThrowPropsPlugin. This will allow you to adjust things like the angular velocity or its transform origin.

The code you had to end the rotation and x/y at the same time was interfering with TweenMax's ability to reset the rotation.

 

You can see this in this fork with a reset tween onclick:

Dragging and dropping without throw will restore the correct rotation when you click the cube.

Throwing the cube will upset this and the correct rotation of 0 will not occur.

 

But having them end separately didn't really bother me too much, it was getting them to play well together.

 

Thanks for your help OSUBlake and Diaco.AW!

There had been a problem in ThrowPropsPlugin that caused the overwriting behavior, but that was fixed about a week ago. If you refresh your cache and try that codepen again, you should see that it works fine :)
