SVG Mask & motionPath Plugin #help

Hello!


I am working to reveal this shape/outline via a mask ...specifically the rectangle shape, as it animates via motionPath the shape should reveal. This pen is set up to show the rectangle animating along its path (.path2) successfully, but when I place it within a mask ("theSquare"), motionPath breaks. Commenting in <defs> and <mask> within the linked pen will replicate the error.

 

Can you help me understand why this is happening? 


Thank You!

Hey Bryan and welcome to the GreenSock forums. If you open up the dev tools console you can see an error that says "Uncaught TypeError: t.getBBox is not a function". 

 

Using #theSquare instead of the containing <g> element seems to fix the issue:

Side note: We don't recommend having any transforms on elements that you're animating with GSAP outside of GSAP. The most common mistakes article explains why.
