gsap Mouse: Intelligent Focus Helper [solved]

[jonforum]

Hello.
I tried to get a kind of focus helper with the mouse when the pointer rolls over an item.
but i can get a good easing when the mouse are hover a element.
 

I do not know if I explain myself well, but I will try.

i use the pointerLock API.
when the mouse icon get hover a new elements, i want to help the mouse to move to center of element.
But without disturbing the control of the mouse.
the idea is to create a  focus helper to center the pointer on the elements when the mouse has a contact with the outlines.

 

i try my best to make a codepen.

for active the pointer lock, just click inside the blue square.

https://codepen.io/djmisterjon/pen/gzJVRR/?editors=1011

 

if your move the mouse, 

your will see that the behavior is a little messy when the mouse flies over a white square.
An idea on a good approach to create a similar system?
Am using GSAP libs.

thank a lot for help.

 

 

 

my source code am trying patch   look like this , but it very similar to the code pen demo.

humm, well i think it working now .

I had to re-code my logic with a specific ticker for the mouse.

and a also change some property by alpha,beta,delta,meta

it more easy to understand for me.
they are float pixi point .
And the ticker perform compute those valur to set the pointer xy.

This operation is only done once when the mouse ishovers a specific object.

 

 

//$mouse.initialize()
_mouse.prototype.initialize = function() {
    this.screenX = 1600, this.screenY = 900;
    this.icon = null;
    this.alpha = new PIXI.Point(0,0); // coor 1
    this.beta = new PIXI.Point(0,0); // coor 2
    this.moved = false; // mouse are moving indicator
    this.isDown = false; // mouse is down indicator
    this.tiker = this.create_tikers();
    this.tiker.start();

    this.sensiX = this.sensiY = 0.8;
    this.dirH = this.dirV = 0; // direction hori, vert (4,6,2,8) base 10

    // check if started path selector
    this.tweenLastCase = null;
    this.startedPathCase = null;

    // easing mouse 
    this.tween = new TweenLite(this.position, 0, {
        x:0, y:0,
        ease:Power4.easeOut,
    });
   
    this.createSpriteMouse();
    this.create_Listeners();
    //this.debug(); // FIXME: REMOVE
};

_mouse.prototype._mousemove = function(event){
    // determine the direction
    this.dirH = event.movementX>0 && 6 || event.movementX<0 && 4 || 0;
    this.dirV = event.movementY>0 && 2 || event.movementY<0 && 8 || 0;
    this.alpha.x+=(event.movementX*this.sensiX);
    this.alpha.y+=(event.movementY*this.sensiY);
    this.inCase = $cases.onMouseMove(this.alpha.x,this.alpha.y, this.isDown);
};

_mouse.prototype.create_tikers = function() {
    // Tikers for editor update (document Title, check scroll)
    return new PIXI.ticker.Ticker().add((delta) => {
        const metaX = (this.alpha.x/$camera.zoom.x)+$camera.position.x; // reel position (will compute zoom + camera..)
        const metaY = (this.alpha.y/$camera.zoom.y)+$camera.position.y;
        let deltaX,deltaY; // diff
        let ease = this.inCase && 0.2 || 0.8;
        if(this.inCase && this.focused !==this.inCase){
            this.focused = this.inCase;
            this.alpha.x-=(metaX-this.inCase.x)/2;
            this.alpha.y-=(metaY-this.inCase.y)/2;
        };
        this.beta.x += (this.alpha.x - this.beta.x) * ease;
        this.beta.y += (this.alpha.y - this.beta.y) * ease;
  
        this.tween.vars.x = this.beta.x;
        this.tween.vars.y =  this.beta.y;
        this.tween.invalidate();
        this.tween.play(0);

        // TODO: DELETE ME DEBUG ONLY
        document.title = `
        alphaXY: [${~~this.alpha.x},${~~this.alpha.y}] ||  
        betaXY: [${~~this.beta.x},${~~this.beta.y}] ||  
        metaXY: [${~~metaX},${~~metaY}] ||
        `
    });
};

close for solved.
