ScrollTrigger - Is slowing down scroll speed at certain section possible?

[Tony Song 1 Likes (Newbie)]

We need to slow down a scroll speed at certain sections, because we highly recommend the user to stop a while read a text and press a button. I'm curious is it possible? because I can't find an example for this problem yet.

 

OR

alternatively if we can block the user from scroll at certain section, it would be a better solution, but I just wonder if it possible, but I can't image if it's possible.

 

Thanks and regards,

 

Tony

It depends what you mean by "scroll"

 

You can certainly control the speed of the horizontal movement by using strategically placed eases or alter the proportion of the durations in the horizontal movement. It's not a super simple thing to pull off, but it's possible. 

 

If you literally want to make the browser's scrollbar move at a different rate of speed at various spots, that's far more problematic. In my opinion, it's a terrible idea UX-wise, but it's feasible using some custom code with something like Observer plugin.

Hi GreenSock,

Thanks for taking time to answer my question.

I think I will explore another UX which easier to implement.

 

Have a good day!
