Prevent scrolling during fromTo animation

[Laszlo]

Hello,

I am new here and I trying to achieve a special scroll workaround here:
This is almost what I am looking for but I'd like to stop/prevent the vertical scrolling during the 'fromTo' animation.

 

Maybe I have misunderstood the manual but if not this is not possible with only the 'fromTo'. ( https://greensock.com/docs/v3/GSAP/gsap.fromTo() ) 

 

Is this possible anyway with GSAP or somehow I better prevent the scrolling with native JS or my approach is completely wrong?
Could you suggest to me any direction which might be a help for this?

 

Regards, Laszlo

Welcome to the forums @Laszlo

 

What do you mean prevent scrolling? You have a scrub animation that is tied to scrollbar movement, so I'm not understand how you are expecting to prevent scrolling while also having an animation that is dependent on scrolling. 🤷‍♂️

Hello OSUblake,

 

I meant that I'd like to prevent the view moves down or up during the animation.

So my expectation was to achieve something like this:
1) scroll down to the start position
2) scroll further and the fromTo handle the scrolling left to right - but prevent moving down until the end position of the image
3) at the end position of the image continue the moving down when scrolling further

Maybe I am completely off the road with this and GSAP is not the right way for this. I am not sure. That's why I asked.

You can prevent the trigger from moving during the animation by using the pin property, which will keep it fixed in place.

 

Quote

pin

Boolean | String | Element - An element (or selector text for the element) that should be pinned during the time that the ScrollTrigger is active, meaning it will appear to "stick" in its starting position while the rest of the content continues scrolling underneath it. Only one pinned element is allowed, but it can contain as many elements as you want. Setting pin: true will cause it to pin the trigger element. Warning don't animate the pinned element itself because that will throw off the measurements (ScrollTrigger is highly optimized for performance and pre-calculates as much as possible). Instead, you could nest things such that you're animating only elements INSIDE the pinned element.

Thank you @OSUblake for this super quick help and even the description!

This is perfect for me!
