Conditional repeat of tweens

[spacewindow]

Hi guys,

 

Trying to get a conditional 'repeat' happening with a stagger animation.

 

I want to be able to set a boolean variable (cloudsOn) and if this is true, certain tweens will replay. If it is off, the tweens will not replay.

 

I've managed to get this working in other more custom javascript ways (thanks to help on this forum), but wanted to see if there was a simple way using a stagger loop and onComplete to get this happening.

 

I will post a CodePen but this may be enough to check if it is a simple fix. Thanks.

// five .cloud elements in my SVG
var cloud = document.querySelectorAll('.cloud');

var tlClouds = new TimelineMax();

var cloudsOn = true;

var cloudCheck = function(tween){
    if (cloudsOn){
        console.log(tween); // Successfully logs the individual tweens of the stagger, targeting individual .clouds.
        tween.seek(0);
    }
};

tlClouds
.staggerTo(cloud, 2, {
    cycle:{
        x: [-400, -200, 0, 300]
    },
    onComplete: cloudCheck,
    onCompleteParams: ['{self}']
}, 0.2)
;

Hi spacewindow 

 

actually you can't do that in this way ,Timeline control its childs playhead , so you can't seek,pause,play or restart timeline child separately .
