samyH Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Hey, Hopefully a simple one for someone who's been using gsap more than a day I'm just trying to cut down on the number of gsap.to animations I'm calling, but I'm unable to get any animation happening when passing evt.currentTarget as it's always null - I also tried evt.target & event.target.id to no avail document.getElementById("menuitem0").addEventListener("mouseenter", hoverIn); function hoverIn(evt) { console.log(evt); gsap.to(evt.currentTarget, { scale: 1.5, color: "white", duration: 0.3, paused: true, ease: "power2.inOut" }); } I saw you can do something like this let hover1 = gsap.to(menuitem1, { scale: 1.5, color: "white", duration: 0.3, paused: true, ease: "power2.inOut" }); document.getElementById("menuitem1").addEventListener("mouseenter", () => hover1.play()); document.getElementById("menuitem1").addEventListener("mouseleave", () => hover1.reverse()); but need to removeEventListener, so needed to break the function out Any help is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSAP Helper Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 It's pretty tough to troubleshoot without a minimal demo - the issue could be caused by CSS, markup, a third party library, your browser, an external script that's totally unrelated to GSAP, etc. Would you please provide a very simple CodePen or CodeSandbox that demonstrates the issue? Please don't include your whole project. Just some colored <div> elements and the GSAP code is best (avoid frameworks if possible). See if you can recreate the issue with as few dependancies as possible. If not, incrementally add code bit by bit until it breaks. Usually people solve their own issues during this process! If not, then at least we have a reduced test case which greatly increases your chances of getting a relevant answer. Here's a starter CodePen that loads all the plugins. Just click "fork" at the bottom right and make your minimal demo: See the Pen aYYOdN by GreenSock (@GreenSock) on CodePen If you're using something like React/Next/Nuxt/Gatsby or some other framework, you may find CodeSandbox easier to use. Once we see an isolated demo, we'll do our best to jump in and help with your GSAP-specific questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSock Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 That's because you set paused: true in your tween So it wasn't running. I'm not sure exactly what your requirements are, but I think you could simplify things quite a bit like this: See the Pen QWxEzrY?editors=0110 by GreenSock (@GreenSock) on CodePen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samyH Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Ah ok that's nice, but how would I remove the hover eventListeners on click? item.addEventListener("mouseenter", () => hover.play()); item.addEventListener("mouseleave", () => hover.reverse()); I thought the hover would have to be it's own function to be able to do that right?
