tweenmax TweenMax.to OR TweenMax.set

[jeff2019 0 Likes (Newbie)]

Hello,

 

I am discovering GSAP and I did an exercice with TweenMax,

 

And I don't understand why I have to write :

 

TweenMax.set('....', {transformPerspective: xxx});

 

If I write the same thing with TweenMax.to and it don't works ...

 

Can someone tell me when we have to use the 1st one and the 2nd one ?

Hey Jeff and welcome to the forums! 

 

The .set method is essentially a .to but with a duration of 0. But it's used to set properties of an element without an animation. It makes sense to use it for a transformPerspective because you don't (usually) want to animate that property. 

 

However, it should work for you if you do TweenMax.to('.foo', 0, {transformPerspective: xxx}); I'm guessing you just forgot the animation duration in the .to call (the second parameter). 

 

Does that help?

 

For more information, check out their docs pages: TweenMax.set and TweenMax.to.

Without a codepen demo to see the context, it'd difficult to know for sure but typically it's best to just set a perspective on the parent element rather than a transformPerspective on the element itself. I assume you're doing some 3D-related transforms?

Hi, 

 

Thank you all for your answers it helps me to understand

 

Yep I wrote : 

 

TweenMax.set('#box',{transformPerspective:600});
TweenMax.to('#box',4,{rotationY:360});
