Rotation tween stop and tween start on mouse down

I have an object rotating on z axis. onMouseDown the rotation stops and onMouseUp the rotation resumes after 2 seconds.
Is there a way for the rotation to resume slowly (like ease in for css)?
The code for the rotation start and stop.
if ( etaj1 !== undefined ) {
etaj1.rotation.z += delta * 0;
if(!isMouseDown){
etaj1.rotation.z += delta * 0.05 ;
}
}
Also there is a resetTimer condition if a new click is made before the 2 seconds have passed.
var timerHandle = setTimeout (wait , 2000);
function resetTimer () {
window.clearTimeout (timerHandle);
timerHandle = setTimeout (wait , 2000);
}
function onMouseDown(){
console.log("Mouse DOWN");
isMouseDown = true;
}
function onMouseUp(){
window.clearTimeout (timerHandle);
timerHandle = setTimeout (wait , 2000);
}
function wait (){
resetTimer;
console.log("Mouse UP");
isMouseDown = false;
}
the idea is to make a transition for isMouseDown = false; and another transition for isMouseDown = true;
Basically what i want to do is stop the rotation from the link below with a quart.out tween, wait 2 seconds and if no click resume rotation with a quart.in tween.

Thanks.

I'm not a three.js guy, however what you are asking is applicable in other areas as well. So I will put here a general solution. First the proof of concept:
https://jsfiddle.net/ibowankenobi/u4xwnLam/4/
I'll start declaring the globals I need, wrap them up as you want:
var rotation = 0;
var bar = document.getElementById("bar");
var container = document.getElementById("container");
I need to demonstrate this without three.js so I need to have a container and something to rotate so you do not need bar and container in your case. Rotation in your case is your etaj1.rotation.z
We first need a function that will map 0-1 to 0-1 again, but not linearly. These are called interpolations, there are many ones, cosine, this, that, most widely used one is a stitched and transformed x^3 and gives a "slow in slow out" affect:
function slowInSlowOut(t){
if(2*t<<0){
return 4*(t-1)*(t-1)*(t-1)+1;
} else {
return 4*t*t*t;
}
}
We have to do something with this function so I will write another animate
function changeSpeed(obj,newSpeed){
var oldSpeed = obj.__oldSpeed || 0;
var startTime;
newSpeed = newSpeed || 0;
obj.__currentFrame && window.cancelAnimationFrame(obj.__currentFrame);//cancel a previous changeSpeed if fired twice
obj.__currentFrame = window.requestAnimationFrame(anim);
function anim(t){
startTime = startTime || t;
var elapsed = t - startTime,
parametric = slowInSlowOut(elapsed/2000);
if(parametric>=1){
obj.__oldSpeed = newSpeed;
} else {
obj.__oldSpeed = newSpeed + (oldSpeed-newSpeed) * (1-parametric);
obj.__currentFrame = window.requestAnimationFrame(anim);
}
}
}
You provide this function an object, and it will attach it a proprietary __oldSpeed property, the newSpeed parameter is measured in means of degrees/17ms (because I am using requestAnimationFrame and that will fire each ~17ms). So in your case the obj is your etaj1.
Within this function you can already update your etaj1.rotation.z if you want. But I will write a third function to fire continuously and listen to __oldSpeed property and take action based on that:
function animate(obj){
rotation += (obj.__oldSpeed || 0);
rotation = rotation % 360;
obj.style.transform = "rotate("+rotation+"deg)";
window.requestAnimationFrame(function(){animate(obj)});
}
Again here, obj is your etaj1 and rotation is etaj1.rotation.z. I am using DOM here, so I need to use the styles. You can adapt it to your case.
Animate won't fire, so we need to fire him:
window.requestAnimationFrame(function(){animate(bar)});
I'll add the eventListeners as you described:
container.addEventListener("mousedown",function(){changeSpeed(bar,0)},false);
container.addEventListener("mouseup",function(){changeSpeed(bar,12)},false);
Now we give it a starting speed:
changeSpeed(bar,12);
There you go. In case you wondered how to do it yourself, this might get you started. I guess people using other technology stacks can also adapt this to their case.
PS:
Someone mentioned a delay, in that case modify the changeSpeed a bit:
function changeSpeed(obj,newSpeed,delay){
delay = delay || 0;
var oldSpeed = obj.__oldSpeed || 0;
var startTime;
newSpeed = newSpeed || 0;
obj.__currentFrame && window.cancelAnimationFrame(obj.__currentFrame);
obj.__currentFrame = window.requestAnimationFrame(anim);
function anim(t){
startTime = startTime || t;
var elapsed = t - startTime;
if(elapsed < delay) {
return obj.__currentFrame = window.requestAnimationFrame(anim);
}
var parametric = slowInSlowOut((elapsed-delay)/2000);
if(parametric>=1){
obj.__oldSpeed = newSpeed;
} else {
obj.__oldSpeed = newSpeed + (oldSpeed-newSpeed) * (1-parametric);
obj.__currentFrame = window.requestAnimationFrame(anim);
}
}
}
Here is a fiddle that has a 2 second delay:

Adding easing on requestAnimationFrame

I need to reproduce the same effect as here: http://www.chanel.com/fr_FR/mode/haute-couture.html = a swipe effect on mouse move event.
I just need some help on the animation part.
function frame() {
$('.images-gallery').css({
'transform': 'translateX('+ -mouseXPerc +'%)'
});
requestAnimationFrame(frame);
}
requestAnimationFrame(frame);
$(document).on('mousemove',function(e){
mouseXPerc = e.pageX/containerWidth*100;
});
Here's what I've done so far. It works as supposed, but as you can imagine, it's pretty raw, I need some easing in that. How can I edit my frame() function to get something smoother ?
Edit : I can't use CSS transition / animation as I change the value on requestAnimationFrame (each 1/30 sec).

I think I've found an answer for you. It's based on this library
First, I would just grab a function from that site
function inOutQuad(n){
n *= 2;
if (n < 1) return 0.5 * n * n;
return - 0.5 * (--n * (n - 2) - 1);
};
Then, I would use a modified form of the example code, something like this
function startAnimation(domEl){
var stop = false;
// animating x (margin-left) from 20 to 300, for example
var startx = 20;
var destx = 300;
var duration = 1000;
var start = null;
var end = null;
function startAnim(timeStamp) {
start = timeStamp;
end = start + duration;
draw(timeStamp);
}
function draw(now) {
if (stop) return;
if (now - start >= duration) stop = true;
var p = (now - start) / duration;
val = inOutQuad(p);
var x = startx + (destx - startx) * val;
$(domEl).css('margin-left', `${x}px`);
requestAnimationFrame(draw);
}
requestAnimationFrame(startAnim);
}
I might change how 'stop' is calculated, I might write something to ensure that it ends on destx, etc, but that's the basic format
Showing it in this jsfiddle
I'm actually kinda proud of this one. I've been wanting to figure this out for a while. Glad I had a reason to.

You can create your own ease function and use it inside your frame function:
var ease = function() {
var x = 0;
return function(x_new) {
x = (x_new+x)*.5;
return x;
}
}();
function frame() {
$('.images-gallery').css({
'transform': 'translateX('+ -ease(mouseXPerc) +'%)'
});
requestAnimationFrame(frame);
}
requestAnimationFrame(frame);
$(document).on('mousemove',function(e){
mouseXPerc = e.pageX/containerWidth*100;
});

move div smoothly with javascript/jquery and an array of pos

I'm looking for a way to move a div from an array of position with javascript/jquery.
I have trying to do it with jquery.animate but he moved the div with a pause at each iteration of my array.
That could be something like move the div from 0,0 to 120px,230px passing by the 23px,35px;45px,50px etc...
That is for moving an game character on a Tile map
So as requested, some bit of code
First you have a global timer that call a function at short interval to see if it have any action to execute.
In this loop a routine look if some mobile tiles are waiting of any mouvement.
Mobiles are declared as Object class and have a sub function that do the deplacement like that
setPos:function(coord){
var pos = jQuery("#"+this.id).position();
var x = (coord[0] - 32 + this.screenOffX + this.xOffset) - pos.left;
var y =(coord[1] + this.yOffset) - pos.top;
//this.stopAnimation();
//this.startAnimation(this.walkingAnimation);
jQuery("#"+this.id).animate({
left: '+='+ x,
top: '+='+ y
}, 33, function() {
// Animation complete.
});
},
That is a bit messy cause i trying a lot of thing to do the smooth movement that i'm looking for.
so setPos is calling in another place like that
stepMobile:function(mobile){
var wp;/*TEST*/
mobile.changeState("idle");
var ind = mobile.getWayPointIndex();
while(ind < (mobile.getWayPoints()).length - 1){
if (ind < (mobile.getWayPoints()).length - 1) {
wp = (mobile.getWayPoints())[ind + 1];
if (getTime() > wp.time) {
mobile.setWayPointIndex(ind + 1);
ind = ind +1;
}
}
wp = (mobile.getWayPoints())[ind];
var x;
var y = 0;
var z;
x = this.tileWidth * (wp.getTile()).getCol();
z = this.tileHeight * (wp.getTile()).getRow();
var elapsed = getTime() - wp.getTime();
console.log(elapsed);
if (ind == (mobile.getWayPoints()).length - 1) {
console.log('checkForOnStopEvent()');
} else {
//x += 1 * mobile.getWalkSpeed() * mobile.getCosAngle();
//z += 1 * mobile.getWalkSpeed() * mobile.getSinAngle();
}
var coord = this.mapToScreen(x, y, -z);
mobile.setPos(coord);
ind = mobile.getWayPointIndex();
}
},
Again lot of junk code here cause i literally burned my brain but i didn't get any good result.
And you have that global function that run this function over all mobiles waiting for deplacement.

How to hide/show multiple square at different time

I'm still struggling with my simple javascript game. Here is my previous question: Simple javascript game, hide / show random square
Some square show and hide randomely for a few seconds and you have to click on them. I use RaphaelJS to draw the square and a few of JQuery ($.each() function)
I can't make the hide/show with the setInterval working for each square. The function made by Mishelle looks good but I get a "This is not a function" error.. I've test different stuff but it's not as obvious as I thought :/
window.onload = function() {
var paper = new Raphael(document.getElementById('canvas_container'), 500, 500);
// random function to for the x and y axis of the square
function random(min, max) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}
var rectanglemain = paper.rect(0, 0, 500, 500).attr({fill: "white",});
var win_click = 0; // set the var to count the click on the square
var recs = [];
for(var i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
var x = random(1,450);
var y = random(1,450);
var rec = paper.rect(x, y, 50, 50).attr({fill: 'blue'});
recs.push(rec); // add the square in an array
recs[i].click(function () {
//counting the clicks
win_click = win_click + 1;
})
function hideSquare() {recs[i].hide();}
hideSquare();
}
rectanglemain.click(function () {
alert('you click on ' + win_click + ' squares');
});
/* here is a function made by Mishelle on my previous question, unfortunately I can't make it work (this is not a function error).
function showBriefly (timeFromNow, duration) {
window.setTimeout(this.rec.show, timeFromNow);
window.setTimeout(this.rec.hide, timeFromNow + duration);
}
recs[2].showBriefly(1000, 3000); to test the function
*/
}
Thanks for the help :)

try
window.setTimeout(function(){this.rec.show();}, timeFromNow )

Just came across your problem, just in case you read this and you want to know what was the problem. this is undefined within the callback, thus you need to store which rectangle you were referring to in a variable (I've called it square), see my code:
showBriefly: function(timeFromNow, duration) {
square = this.box;
setTimeout(function(){square.show();}, timeFromNow )
setTimeout(function(){square.hide();}, timeFromNow + duration )
}
Cheers

JavaScript setTimeout() Method on Animation

I have three yellow bars and each of them needs to come from left to right. For that, I have produced this code, but it only works on the last one. Can anyone correct this code; I need to work with pure JavaScript. I am not using any framework. Thanks.
window.onload = function(){
var yellowTitles = document.getElementById('magazine-brief').getElementsByTagName('h2');
for(i=0; i< yellowTitles.length; i++) {
var header = yellowTitles[i];
var timer = i*500;
var yellowBar = setTimeout(animeYellowBar,timer);
function animeYellowBar(){
header.style.left= "0";
}
}
}

Here's how I'd solve the problem:
var yellows = document.getElementById('magazine-brief').getElementsByTagName('h2');
// this will force the header number to be bound correctly
// also animates the div across the page by tracking the current position of x
function createMotion(num){
var currPos = 0;//current x position
var delta = 10;//move by this amount
setInterval(function(){
currPos += delta
yellows[num].style.left = currPos;
}, num * 500);
}
for (var i = 1; i < yellows.length; i++)
{
createMotion(i);
}
Note the function "createMotion" - added so the number "i" is correctly reference in the setInterval function.

Shouldn't you be incrementing your CSS left value instead of just setting it to 0? Why have a timeout at all if you're just going to set the value without gradually incrementing or decrementing?
If you do actually want to use a gradual animation, look at this tutorial : http://www.schillmania.com/content/projects/javascript-animation-1/
Very descriptive and possibly what you want.

By the time your timeout function runs, header refers to your last h2.
Try editing your timeout function to this:
function animeYellowBar(){
var thisheader=header;
thisheader.style.left= "0";
}

var yellows = document.getElementById('magazine-brief').getElementsByTagName('h2');
for (var i = 0; i < yellows.length; i++)
{
(function(idx, el){
window.setTimeout(function(){
var interval = window.setInterval(function(){
el.style.left = parseInt(el.style.left) + 10; // adjust this movement step
if (parseInt(el.style.left) >= 0)
{
el.style.left = 0;
window.clearInterval(interval);
}
}, 100); // adjust this number for animation speed
}, (idx++) * 500);
})(i, yellows[i]);
}
