TextPlugin typing bottom up animation

[Maniak Development]

Hey guys, I have a problem and I can't find a solution on the TextPlugin documentation.

 

I have this section that is going to have text (the text is coming from a WYSIWYG so it's going to have a lot of HTML tags) and I need to create like a typewriting effect, the text is going to start from the bottom and is going to go up. I added a video so you can see the effect I'm looking for, the problem is that on the video it doesn't show that, but I need to animate individual characters.

 

I was testing the plugin but I don't see a lot of properties that I can use to create this effect, so is it possible to do it with this plugin? Or should I be using something else?

 

I added two examples on the codepen, on one I get the animation but only for the lines, no the characters. And on the second example I only get the last line animated, can't make to other text to appear

Hey, 

 

I tried doing it with split text. One timeline is for animating the texts, and other for taking the container up. Adjust the time and distance according to your actual text. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the answer, I have a question, I notice you're using 'staggerFrom' but isn't that an old function? I have use that with gsap3

 

Also is there a way to move the text up when the line finish writing the text?

It will still work for backwards compatibility with older versions of GSAP, but you should use the new syntax.

 

tl.from(chars, {
  stagger: 0.08,
  ...
})

@Trapti I was able to update my codepen

See the Pen bGWNVbY by godhandkiller (@godhandkiller) on CodePen.

So whenever the line finish I try to move the master timeline up, but it only moves once, any Idea how can I make it so it keeps moving up?

 

@OSUblake thank you! i read the documentation and I was able to change it to 'from'

Hey @hmontelongo,

 

Take a look at Advanced Stagger:
'The same thing is true for callbacks (e.g. onUpdate, onComplete, onStart) - including them inside of the stagger objects makes them fire per element.'

 

Happy tweening ...

I was able to achieve my desired behavior, this is the updated codepen

@mikel It's there a way to skip text on the SplitText plugin?

 

 

On this example I have 2 buttons on a paragraph but SplitText is animating the text inside the buttons, is there a way to not do that only on the buttons text?

Before splitting filter out the content which you don't want using JS.
