Call directionalRotation plugin directly

[ApplePI]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if I can call directionalRotation plugin directly in Javascript. Something like:

 

var shortAngle = TweenMax.directionalRotation("420_short");

 

> shortAngle = 60

 

I just need the value returned by the plugin, I'm not using it in a Tween or something. Is that possible?

No, there is no such function, but you could do something like:

function shortestRotation(currentAngle, newAngle) {
    var temp = {rotation:currentAngle};
    TweenLite.set(temp, {directionalRotation:{rotation:newAngle + "_short"}});
    return temp.rotation;
}

Then, you can just reuse that function and pass in the current angle and new angle.
