GSAP Adaptation of Codedrops Hover Effect

I was trying to adapt Carl's dash chaser to pull this off http://tympanus.net/Tutorials/BorderAnimationSVG/ . I am having little success. Is there anyone that could help me out with this?

 

I will put it out there that adapting the three paths of Carl's chaser dash animation to this problem is confusing to me. I felt to pull this off, I would need an offset of 1, but in the codedrops demo they are using a border line that is 3x the length of any border with a dash offset equal to the border length. They simply translate the line and the offset makes it look like the border is animating within the viewbox.

Hey jstafford ,

 

You really wouldn't need any dashes or extra length borders to make this happen with drawSVG. It's just a matter of using a fromTo() a couple times to animate the lines.

 

I made a quick CodePen for you:

You'll have to adapt it for your use, but it should get you started.

 

Happy tweening.

Yes, this helps PointC. Thank you.
