Repeat animation without affecting total duration

[fitzmode]

Hey there,

 

I have a Timelinelite instance where I running both "single shot"  and "repeating" animations, however, I'd like the "timeline.totalDuration()"  to not include repeat. My goal from the below is to get a total duration of 1.5sec , that is duration without repeat.

Is there a method I can use to get that?
Thanks.

 

const timeline = new Timelinelite({paused: true});

timeline
//Animation A ( 1 second duration)
  .to('#box',{x: 0,duration: 1 }, 0)
//Animation B ( 0.5 second duration)
  .fromTo('#box',{x: currentX - 2},{x:currentX + 2,duration: 0.5, repeat: -1}, 0.5);

Sorry, that's just not how it's built to work. It always will include the repeat amount.

 

However, you could create the tween separate from the timeline and then add it to the timeline and get the duration from the tween that way:

See the Pen rNVNpVE by GreenSock (@GreenSock) on CodePen

 

Note that I'm using GSAP 3 format (you kind of have a mix of the two which is confusing). 

 

Maybe if you better described your goal we could help you in getting there.

 

Side note: your second tween is going to override your first tween in the example code that you gave. I'm curious why you set it up that way.
