Share Posted September 4, 2020 I am creating several timelines controlled using ScrollTrigger, and that's all working great so far! What I'd like is to temporarily pause and then later resume the scroll listener. Essentially, pause and be able to scroll the page without my timeline playing, whilst leaving everything in the state it was at the moment I paused it. Then resume, and have everything immediately start responding to the page's scroll position again. Is this possible? I can see that there is a "disable" method, but this appears to unpin and reset everything as if the page hadn't been scrolled at all, which is not what I want. I know that I can completely destroy and then re-create the timeline, but this results in a short visual flicker whilst everything is destroyed and re-generated again. Thanks for your help!

Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Actually, my bad - "disable" doesn't reset everything, I misunderstood the documentation. For reference, I am giving all my ScrollTriggers an ID, and then using ScrollTrigger.getById(i).disable(); to pause the ScrollTriggers, and ScrollTrigger.getById(i).enable(); to resume again. Problem solved! Update: problem not solved - see new comment in the thread 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 I am revisiting this post as I have realised that I in fact did not solve this issue after all. Anything with scrub: true is reset to the start, as if I had never scrolled at all. Is it possible to disable a scrubbing ScrollTrigger and leave everything in the exact state it is at the time I disable it, even if mid-tween? Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted October 6, 2020 Sure, you can tell it not to revert by passing false as the parameter, like trigger.disable(false); 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 @GreenSock oh amazing, easy haha. By the way I can't currently see that mentioned in the docs though: https://greensock.com/docs/v3/Plugins/ScrollTrigger/disable() Link to post Share on other sites

Share Posted October 7, 2020 @ZachSaucier Could we do the same with the kill function ? like trigger.kill(false); ? Link to post Share on other sites
