Wowzaaa

solved it ... nevermind

i'm sure he would answer me if he could but i was hopping there was someone else that can show me the error of my ways

anyone?

so can anyone point me in the right direction? i do not need the whole solution ... i just need to understand what am i doing wrong ... what am i missing?

i saw some examples online but all use jQuery's scrollTop();

my specific case is that body has overflow hidden ... so the is no actual scroll for the page

much appreciated

do u also have a suggestion for using the mouse wheel to rotate the people back and forth around the table?

thanks

so can u at least give me a suggestion on how to fix my original issue? the one with reverse?

thanks

simply awesome .. thanks man

The code for your path looks fine. But that's not going to visible, right? Isn't it just for the motion path?

right

If so, I was suggesting to just skip that part as it's unnecessary, and you won't need to use snap. You can just grab the points for the Bezier tween doing what I described above. I can show you how if that doesn't make sense.

i think i understand .... but ... i use that because i plan to just give my shape a width and height ... and get the path back ... this is the first time i work with Bezier so building them dynamically is a bit ... unknown to me  at this point at least

are u telling me that my roundedRect function can return directly the bezier points?

thanks

thanks for the info ... makes much more sense now

one question though ... are u telling me that my current solution for building the path will not work?

function roundedRect(x, y, width, height, radius) {
    return "M" + x + "," + (y + 0)
        + "a" + radius + "," + radius + " 0 0 1 " + radius + "," + -radius
        + "h" + (width - 2 * radius)
        + "a" + radius + "," + radius + " 0 0 1 " + radius + "," + radius
        + "v" + (height - 2 * radius)
        + "a" + radius + "," + radius + " 0 0 1 " + -radius + "," + radius
        + "h" + (2 * radius - width)
        + "a" + radius + "," + radius + " 0 0 1 " + -radius + "," + -radius
        + "z";
}

i tested this and it does what i supposed to ... but maybe u are talking about the conversion to cubic Beziers ... if my path structure is ok .. wouldn't TweenMax follow it whatever shape it might have?

thanks

they should keep their place at the table ... what i will need to do after i fix this .. is to

1) make the table turn back and forth on mouse scroll

2) make the number of people dynamic ... that is why i build the svg on the fly ... when there are 100 people ... it won't be a circle ... it will turn into an oval (or a rectangle with rounded corners with a radius of width / 2) ... so the visible part will still look like half a circle ... but the invisible part will not look like now

thanks

took me a while but i hope this helps

thanks again

hey

here is the dev link

Hi

So i have multiple dom elements that i animate along an svg path ... for now ... looping clockwise works ... it loops forever

but if i call reverse() .... it acts like a rewind() ... if it repeated twice ... it will reverse only 2 times .. not forever

var timeLine = new TimelineMax({
    repeat: -1,
    paused: false,
    yoyo: true
});

timeLine.add(TweenMax.to(arrPeople[i], totalTime, {
            bezier: {
                type: "cubic",
                autoRotate: true,
                values: points
            },
            force3D: true,
            repeat: -1,
            yoyo: true,
            ease: Power0.easeNone,
            onUpdate: function() {
                if (this.target == arrPeople[0] && !initialized) {
                    let children = timeLine.getChildren();
                    if (children[0].time() >= totalTime - totalTime / people.length / 2) {
                        timeLine.paused(true);
                        initialized = true;
                    }
                }
            }
        }), (i + 1) * totalTime / people.length);

this is the code i use to create the timeline and the tweens

any sugestions?

thanks
