draggable object with throwResistance and minDuration

[Lacika1981]

Hi,

 

Could you explain me some things that I do not understand while I was experiencing with the draggable object.

The codepen link is the GSAP example.

 

There are two properties if I use together they do undesirable effect.

If the minDuration set i.e. 50 and throwResistance very high like 100000 than the knob will spin for 50 seconds and will decrease the speed gradually.

However if I use the same minDuration but the throwResistance set to very low like 100 than the knob stops spinning in couple of seconds. 

 

Should not the knob spin for at least 50 seconds in each case?

 

Thank you

First, that demo isn't using the latest version of TweenMax or Draggable, which is currently at 2.0.2, so that's part of the problem.

 

Now check out the docs for ThrowPropsPlugin.to(), which is what creates the throw tween.

Quote

resistance : Number - think of resistance like the rate of velocity decay. If no resistance value is found, the ThrowPropsPlugin.defaultResistance value will be used. The resistance values merely affect the duration of the tween and can be overriden by the maxDuration and minDuration parameters.

 

So setting a duration cancels out the throwResistance.
