I am trying to create a image that follows the cursor and 'prints'/draws itself and fades each individual image that has been 'printed'/drawn after x amount of seconds.
So far I have managed to get the image to follow the cursor, just unsure of how to create a function or a way that would make each individual image fade away after a certain amount of time?
I have created a JS Fiddle to help with my explanation.
JS
(function() {
"use strict";
document.onmousemove = handleMouseMove;
function handleMouseMove(event) {
var imgFollow, eventDoc, doc, body, pageX, pageY;
event = event || window.event; // IE-ism
// If pageX/Y aren't available and clientX/Y
// are, calculate pageX/Y - logic taken from jQuery
// Calculate pageX/Y if missing and clientX/Y available
if (event.pageX == null && event.clientX != null) {
eventDoc = (event.target && event.target.ownerDocument) || document;
doc = eventDoc.documentElement;
body = eventDoc.body;
event.pageX = event.clientX +
(doc && doc.scrollLeft || body && body.scrollLeft || 0) -
(doc && doc.clientLeft || body && body.clientLeft || 0);
event.pageY = event.clientY +
(doc && doc.scrollTop || body && body.scrollTop || 0) -
(doc && doc.clientTop || body && body.clientTop || 0 );
}
// Add an image to follow the cursor
imgFollow = document.createElement('div');
imgFollow.className = "imgFollow";
imgFollow.style.left = event.pageX + "px";
imgFollow.style.top = event.pageY + "px";
document.body.appendChild(imgFollow);
}
})();
CSS
.wrapper {
height: 100vh;
width:100%;
background-color:green;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
}
.imgFollow {
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
position: absolute;
opacity:0.3;
background-repeat:none;
background-image:url('http://static.wfu.edu/images/icon-help-32x32.png');
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
Add them.
JS
setTimeout(function () {
imgFollow.className = "imgFollow fade-out"
},1000);
CSS
.fade-out{
transition: opacity 1s;
opacity: 0 !important;
}
