Scrol Trigger play animation without scrub

Hi to all!

I need to play the animation right away without scrub control. When the trigger fires - animation play with duration.

 

gsap.timeline
.from('.image', {
  opacity: 0,
  y: 80,
  ease: 'power2.ease',
  duration: 1,
  scrollTrigger: {
    trigger: '.image',
    start: 'top bottom-=10%'
  }
})
.from('.image-2', {
  opacity: 0,
  y: 80,
  ease: 'power2.ease',
  duration: 1,
  scrollTrigger: {
    trigger: '.image-2',
    start: 'top bottom-=10%'
  }
})

Is it possible to do this without onEnter callback and animation.play()?
 

Thank You!

Hi @Bohdan. and welcome to the GreenSock forums!

 

You are making one of the most common ScrollTrigger mistakes, which is nesting ScrollTriggers on tweens that are in a timeline:

In this case is better to either create a ScrollTrigger configuration in the timeline instance or create two separate from tweens for each image:

gsap.from('.image', {
  opacity: 0,
  y: 80,
  ease: 'power2.ease',
  duration: 1,
  scrollTrigger: {
    trigger: '.image',
    start: 'top bottom-=10%'
  }
});

gsap.from('.image-2', {
  opacity: 0,
  y: 80,
  ease: 'power2.ease',
  duration: 1,
  scrollTrigger: {
    trigger: '.image-2',
    start: 'top bottom-=10%'
  }
});

Hopefully this helps. If you keep having issues, please remember to include a minimal demo so we can have a better idea of what could be the issue.

 

Happy Tweening!

@Rodrigo Thank you a lot! 
Your variant works as it should. I thought it was good to use Timeline for a few animations.
That it will be more elegant )

Just FYI - A timeline is the right choice if you have a sequence of animations that are playing one after another.

In that case you'd add the ScrollTrigger to the timeline itself, like so - 
 

gsap.timeline({
 scrollTrigger: {
    trigger: '.image',
    start: 'top bottom-=10%'
  }
})
.from('.image', {
  opacity: 0,
  y: 80,
  ease: 'power2.ease',
  duration: 1,
})
.from('.image-2', {
  opacity: 0,
  y: 80,
  ease: 'power2.ease',
  duration: 1,
})

Happy tweening!
