Resetting RotateY degrees without transformation - css

I use css 3D-transform rotateY to flip a div with css transition. I want the image to flip for a certain number of times : when the transition ends, I trigger it again until a certain counter value is reached.
What I would like to do : when the rotateY reaches 360 deg, I want reset it to 0 to restart the same rotation.
What happens: if I reset to 0, the div rotates backward first. I tried to disable the transform property before "rewinding', without any luck.
Is there an easy way to restore the 0 deg value without any transformation / rotation?
I did a codepen to illustrate: http://codepen.io/3MO/pen/QKogxE
It is not very graphical, but if you click on start, then reset, it will be obvious.
Here is my reset function:
$('#reset').click(function () {
deg = 0;
countRotations = 0;
$('#card').attr('transition', 'transform 0');
flipStarted = false;
flip($('#card'), 0);
});

You need to set the transition property to 0s, then change the rotation to 0 (this way it'll rotate instantly), then change the transition back to the "default" value.

Position laser-controls entity after camera rotation

I have the following code for the laser controls which are perfectly positioned when the camera looks straight ahead after entering VR mode.
<a-entity position="0.25 1.25 -0.2" class="laser-controls">
<a-entity laser-controls="hand: right" line="color: red"></a-entity></a-entity>
The issue is: when I rotate my head (camera), I would like to let the controls follow my head rotation smoothly (I have some code which looks if the rotation is greater than 110 degrees). I don't want the controllers be part of the camera since they should keep their own independent rotation. What I like is the behaviour of the controller model in Oculus Home (Gear VR).
How can I achieve this is my custom component, let's say in my tick function, which is called every two seconds (that code works already).
Thanks!
How about using getAttribute() to check the rotation of the camera component and the laser control's entity? Then you could check if the difference exceeds 110 degrees or not:
let angle = laser.getAttribute('rotation');
if (camera.getAttribute('rotation').y - laser.getAttribute('rotation').y>110){
angle.y++;
laser.setAttribute('rotation',angle);
} else if(camera.getAttribute('rotation').y - laser.getAttribute('rotation').y<-110){
angle.y--;
laser.setAttribute('rotation',angle);
}
UPDATE
If You want to position Your controller near Your head You can:
1.Instead of angle.y++/-- change it to Your camera's rotation. You can also change its x/y position close to the camera ( like camera.position.x + 0.5 )
2.But the above is instant, if You want to make it smooth, You could use the animation component, when the delta degree is >110 deg, set the animation attributes to move to the camera component location/rotation, emit a beginning event, disable the rotation check, listen for the animation end event, and enable the check. a bit like this:
init: function(){
this.check = true;
let check = this.check;
animationel.addEventListener('animationend',function(){
check = true;
});
},tick(){
if(this.check){
if(rotationCheck()){
this.check = false;
}
}
}

How can I do an SVG Path drawing animation when the stroke has a dasharray?

Looking to animate the below SVG, which I have got working initially. However, I want it to 'draw' the second SVG in the opposite direction, WITH the dots i've defined.
Is there any way I can do this? Effectively drawing my shape from left to right with the dots.
Codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/gFcAz
The normal dash offset animation trick really only works with solid lines.
This is the closest I managed to get using CSS animations.
http://jsfiddle.net/L4zCY/
Unfortunately the dashes crawl because you have no control over the step rate of the stroke-dashoffset. If you could make it step by 10 at a time, the dashes wouldn't move.
So I think the only way around it is to use Javascript.
var path = document.querySelectorAll("svg path").item(0);
animateDashedPath(path);
/*
* Animates the given path element.
* Assumes the path has a "5 5" dash array.
*/
function animateDashedPath(path)
{
var pathLength = path.getTotalLength();
var animationDuration = 2000;
var numSteps = Math.round(pathLength / (5+5) + 1);
var stepDuration = animationDuration / numSteps;
// Build the dash array so we don't have to do it manually
var dasharray = [];
while (numSteps-- > 0) {
dasharray.push(5);
dasharray.push(5);
}
dasharray.push(pathLength);
// Animation start conditions
path.setAttribute("stroke-dasharray", dasharray.join(" "));
path.setAttribute("stroke-dashoffset", -pathLength);
// We use an interval timer to do each step of the animation
var interval = setInterval(dashanim, stepDuration);
function dashanim() {
pathLength -= (5+5);
path.setAttribute("stroke-dashoffset", -pathLength);
if (pathLength <= 0) {
clearInterval(interval);
}
}
}
Demo here
Update
It looks like there is an issue with in FF. If you create the "right" number of dashes for the path length, it doesn't quite reach the end of the path. You need to add extra.
A version of the demo that works properly on FF is here

css :hover rotate element and keep the new position

I there a (css?) possibility to rotate an element on element:hover and keep the new position when moving the mouse out?
It seems that the element rotates back to it`s default position when the cursor leaves the :hover - area.
edit:
now it seems to work (forgot to say, that i wanted it to happen each time/ multiple times):
var rotate = 360;
$('.artistbutton360').bind({
mouseenter: function() {
$(this).css("-webkit-transform","rotate("+ rotate +"deg)");
$(this).css("-moz-transform","rotate("+ rotate +"deg)");
$(this).css("-o-transform","rotate("+ rotate +"deg)");
$(this).css("transform","rotate("+ rotate +"deg)");
rotate = rotate + 360;
}
});
You can use jquery:
$('element').hover(function(){
$(this).css(whatever);
});
remember adding
$(document).ready(function(){
});

Can I make a transition go through a keyframe?

I have a css 'level up' bar defined like so:
.levelup-bar {
background: //;
color: //;
-webkit-transition:width .6s ease;
transition:width .6s ease;
}
And it works out quite beautifully indeed, my bar automatically animates when I change the width!
What I am doing is calculating the current rate against a max. Of course, once you reach the max, you level up and it goes back to zero. So once it is 100/100, I'm conditionally making it 0/100 to simulate a level up.
And that is the problem, my bar never reaches 100/100 and it is never truly full.
There is a million and one way to solve this in javascript, but I want to solve it using css3. Is there a way to keyframe my width so that it always goes one way, and resets only to zero once its maxed out?
Plunkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/N42aoxfJzpIjhWMofmIP?p=preview
On your onclick event on the button you have the following:
cur += 10;
if(cur>=max)
cur = 0;
If you change the if statement from >= to > the bar will fill up if it reaches 100 exactly:
cur += 10;
if(cur>max)
cur = 0;
I'm not entirely sure if this is the solution you are after.
If it goes over the 100 you could stop it at 100, then set a timer to add the remainder of the score after x ms (but then you are using Javascript again) ?
This seems to work :
// reset cur when you click and you are already at 100%
if(cur >= max)
cur = 0;
cur += 10;
if(cur > max)
cur = 0;

how to do 3D rotation around center in AS3 using matrix3D?

I am trying to rotate a Sprite in three dimensions around its centerpoint, and I am struggling to understand some of the behavior of matrix3D.
Ive overridden the set rotationX, rotationY, and rotationZ methods of the Sprite as follows:
override public function set rotationX (_rotationX:Number) : void {
this.transform.matrix3D.prependTranslation(this.width/2.0, this.height/2.0, 0);
this.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(-this.rotationX, Vector3D.X_AXIS);
this.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(_rotationX, Vector3D.X_AXIS);
this.transform.matrix3D.prependTranslation(-(this.width/2.0), -(this.height/2.0), 0);
}
override public function set rotationY (_rotationY:Number) : void {
this.transform.matrix3D.prependTranslation(this.width/2.0, this.height/2.0, 0);
this.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(-this.rotationY, Vector3D.Y_AXIS);
this.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(_rotationY, Vector3D.Y_AXIS);
this.transform.matrix3D.prependTranslation(-(this.width/2.0), -(this.height/2.0), 0);
}
override public function set rotationZ (_rotationZ:Number) : void {
this.transform.matrix3D.prependTranslation(this.width/2.0, this.height/2.0, 0);
this.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(-this.rotationZ, Vector3D.Z_AXIS);
this.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(_rotationZ, Vector3D.Z_AXIS);
this.transform.matrix3D.prependTranslation(-(this.width/2.0), -(this.height/2.0), 0);
}
I am using prependTranslation to correct the centerpoint of the rotation, and the first prependRotation to cancel out any previously-applied rotation.
Testing it out, rotationX works exactly as expected, and the Sprite rotates around its horizontal axis.
rotationY and rotationZ also appear to work fine. However, there is one problem: whenever rotationY or rotationZ are set, all of the other rotation values change as well. This is not a problem with rotationX -- if I set rotationX, nothing else changes. But if I set rotationY or rotationZ all the rotation values change, which is a problem for my app (which is trying to save and restore values).
I think I am just lacking some understanding about what is going on with matrix3D. How can I implement this so there is no interdependence between the values?
Another easy solution is to add the object and center it within a container sprite and do the 3D transformations on the containing sprite.
I know nothing about AS3 etc. But just looking at your code, I wonder why you translate on the z-axis using what I understand to be x and y values (width and height). Shouldn't the z-axis be translated using something like "depth"?
This is very simple, you can try use the following code:
var matrix3d:Matrix3D = s.transform.matrix3D;
matrix3d.appendRotation( -1, Vector3D.Z_AXIS , new Vector3D( 390, 360, 0 ) );
while s is your sprite, the third parameter, Vector3D indicate your sprite's center position.
The Above code will make the sprite s rotate more -1 degree.
