Get elements coordinates

I need some help here.
First off, here is a small demo code from my game: https://jsfiddle.net/MiloSx7/a0dn9a4f/2/
Animation idea: Make the coin scale to 2x after it's collected, then slowly move it and gradually reduce scale to the exact spot where the image displaying the coin inventory stat is , invLocation is the ID of the element where the animation should end. It starts from the current coinId X and Y
Is it possible to somehow get the X and Y of the invLocation, so that I know where should I tell the animation to move?

You can do this with JQuery position() and offset() methods.
const spawnTime = 10000;
var coin = 0;
var intervalId = '';
var coinDiv = $('#coinDiv');
var coinImg = $('#coinImg');
var invDiv = $('#invDiv');
var invId = $('#inventoryId');
var invImg = $('#invLocation');
coinImg.on('click', collect);
intervalId = setInterval(setLocation, spawnTime);
function setLocation() {
var x = parseInt( Math.random()*(80-20+1) ) + 20;
var y = parseInt( Math.random()*(80-20+1) ) + 20;
coinImg.animate({
opacity: 1
}, 3000,
function() {
coinImg.css('top', x+'%');
coinImg.css('left', y+'%');
coinImg.css('display', 'initial');
setTimeout( () => coinImg.animate({ opacity: 0 }, 3000), 6000);
});
}
function collect() {
clearInterval(intervalId);
coinImg.stop();
coinImg.css('opacity', 1);
/* Increment coin counter */
coin++;
invId.text(coin);
/* In order to disable multiple clicks */
coinImg.css('pointer-events', 'none');
/* Double the size */
coinImg.css('width', '128px');
coinImg.css('height', '128px');
/* Animate and return to normal */
coinImg.animate({
width: '32px',
height: '32px',
left: invImg.offset().left + 'px',
top: invImg.offset().top + 'px'
}, 1500,
function() {
coinImg.css('pointer-events', 'auto');
coinImg.css('display', 'none');
coinImg.css('width', '64px');
coinImg.css('height', '64px');
intervalId = setInterval(setLocation, spawnTime);
}
);
}

jQuery - end setinterval after X rund

I have a little slider im working on which is almost there im jsut having some trouble with me jQuery.
So first off:
I want my slider to reset after the interval has run x amount of times.
It was my understanding that the following would work but it doesn't seem to take. 6000, slides, function() { homesliderend();
so lets say slides = 2 set interval should call homesliderend(); but it doesn't the interval just keeps running.
Second Issue: I'm also trying to get it to add 100% to lengther every 6 seconds. But instead of adding 100 each time its just setting it to 100 its not multiplying.
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
"use strict";
function homesliderend() {
$(".lengther").animate({
left: "0%"
}, 500);
}
function homeslider() {
var slides = $(".slide.t-align").length,
lwidth = slides * 100,
n = 0;
$(".lengther").css("width", lwidth + "%");
setInterval(function() {
var tn = n + 100;
$(".lengther").animate({
left: "-" + tn + "%"
}, 500);
}, 6000, slides, function() {
homesliderend();
});
}
homeslider();
});

The setInterval will not stop automatically, you need to clear the interval to stop it.
Also you need to increase the value of n to increase the left param
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
"use strict";
function homesliderend() {
$(".lengther").animate({
left: "0%"
}, 500);
}
function homeslider() {
var slides = $(".slide.t-align").length,
lwidth = slides * 100,
n = 0;
$(".lengther").css("width", lwidth + "%");
var interval = setInterval(function () {
var tn = ++n * 100;
$(".lengther").animate({
left: "-" + n + "%"
}, 500);
//if the last item is slided then stop the animation and run homesliderend
if (n == slides) {
clearInterval(interval);
homesliderend();
}
}, 6000);
}
homeslider();
});

Firing an animation when aligned

I am creating a splitscrolling website and it's working great. But i have one problem, when the user stops scrolling it fires a function called alignWhenIdle and what this does is align the columns so they become "one".
Now that is working nicely but i can't seem to target a specific part of the column that aligns. let's say when the number 2 column aligns ( see image ) i want to be able to fire an animation. I tried using a callback but that fires a function every time the columns are aligned.
This is my JS:
(function ($) {
var top = 0;
var contentHeight, contents, totalHeight;
var locked = false;
var timeout;
var align = function () {
var pos = (top + $(window).scrollTop());
var snapUp = 0 - (pos % contentHeight) < (contentHeight / 2);
var multiplier = snapUp
? Math.ceil(pos / contentHeight)
: Math.floor(pos / contentHeight);
var newTop = contentHeight * multiplier;
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: newTop + totalHeight }, 200);
locked = false;
};
var reset = function () {
contentHeight = $('.right').height();
contents = $('.right > .content').length;
totalHeight = contentHeight * (contents - 1);
top = (0 - totalHeight);
};
var scrollRight = function () {
$('.right').css('top', (top + $(window).scrollTop()) + 'px');
};
var alignWhenIdle = function (delay) {
clearTimeout(timeout);
timeout = setTimeout(align, delay);
};
$(document).on('ready', function () {
reset();
scrollRight();
});
$(window).on('scroll', function () {
locked = true;
scrollRight();
});
$(window).on('mouseup', function (e) {
if (locked) {
align();
}
});
$(window).resize(function () {
locked = true;
reset();
scrollRight();
alignWhenIdle(300);
});
$(window).on('mousewheel', function (e) {
alignWhenIdle(300);
});
$(window).on("keyup", function (e) {
alignWhenIdle(300);
});
})(jQuery);

Any help is much appreciated,
Cheers

See http://jsfiddle.net/5T9Y8/
Scroll till the column 2 and see result...
In the method align I've added a callback:
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: newTop + totalHeight }, 200, function(){
$(".animate").animate({ marginLeft: "200px" },300);
});
Works well, did you need exactly that?
EDIT
You should just check for some condition.
E.g. based on this solution Check if element is visible after scrolling you can build this:
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: newTop + totalHeight }, 200, function(){
if (isScrolledIntoView(".animate")) $(".animate").animate({ marginLeft: "200px" },300);
});
See updated solution here http://jsfiddle.net/5T9Y8/1/
This is only one way, I'm really sure there is a way to do it even better. E.g. you can calculate the current elements which are shown and then just find the things only inside of them.

I tried using a callback but that fires a function every time the columns are aligned.
Use one method for functioning only once instead of on.

How to call a function with a delay

I have the following function, which animates a series of bars:
function fluctuate(bar) {
var height = Math.floor(Math.random() * 30) + 5;
//Animate the equalizer bar repeatedly
bar.animate({
height: height
}, 250, function() {
fluctuate($(this));
});
}
$(".bar").each(function(i) {
fluctuate($(this));
});
I want this to play each time a div class (".play") is clicked. How can I enabled this, and limit the animation to 3 seconds, before stopping?
Thanks

To run the animation for three seconds only, count the number of times it has been running, and multiple with the animation speed to get the total sum of the animations length :
function fluctuate(bar) {
var height = Math.floor(Math.random() * 30) + 5;
bar.animate({
height: height
}, 250, function() {
var times = $(this).data('times') || 0;
if (times <= 12) {
$(this).data('times', ++times);
fluctuate($(this));
}else{
$(this).data('times', 0);
}
});
}
$(".bar").each(function(i) {
fluctuate($(this));
});
FIDDLE
And a nicer version as a plugin with parameters:
$.fn.fluctuate = function(speed, duration) {
return this.each(function() {
var self = this,
times = Math.round(duration / speed),
iteration = 0;
(function ani() {
var height = Math.floor(Math.random() * 30) + 5;
$(self).animate({ height: height }, speed, function() {
if (iteration <= times) {
iteration++;
ani();
}
});
})();
});
}
$('#test').on('click', function() {
$(".bar").fluctuate(250, 3000);
});

Create Random Falling Object in Jquery

I trying to make the div fall from top to bottom.
Here is the code that i tried but it doesn't satisfy my needs .I want to generate the 20 div once ready then how to make that 20 div falling continuously from top to bottom consistently. Is it possible to do that in jquery.
http://jsfiddle.net/MzVFA/
Here is the code
function fallingSnow() {
var snowflake = $('<div class="snowflakes"></div>');
$('#snowZone').prepend(snowflake);
snowX = Math.floor(Math.random() * $('#site').width());
snowSpd = Math.floor(Math.random() + 5000);
snowflake.css({'left':snowX+'px'});
snowflake.animate({
top: "500px",
opacity : "0",
}, snowSpd, function(){
$(this).remove();
fallingSnow();
});
}
var timer = Math.floor(Math.random() +1000);
window.setInterval(function(){
fallingSnow();
}, timer);
Much Appreciate your Help.
Thanks

Not sure if this is what you want.
I am animating 20 snowflakes, wait until animation finishes for all of them, then restart all over again.
jsfiddle
function fallingSnow() {
var $snowflakes = $(), qt = 20;
for (var i = 0; i < qt; ++i) {
var $snowflake = $('<div class="snowflakes"></div>');
$snowflake.css({
'left': (Math.random() * $('#site').width()) + 'px',
'top': (- Math.random() * $('#site').height()) + 'px'
});
// add this snowflake to the set of snowflakes
$snowflakes = $snowflakes.add($snowflake);
}
$('#snowZone').prepend($snowflakes);
$snowflakes.animate({
top: "500px",
opacity : "0",
}, Math.random() + 5000, function(){
$(this).remove();
// run again when all 20 snowflakes hit the floor
if (--qt < 1) {
fallingSnow();
}
});
}
fallingSnow();
Update
This version creates 20 divs only once, and animate them again and again.
jsFiddle
function fallingSnow() {
var $snowflakes = $(),
createSnowflakes = function () {
var qt = 20;
for (var i = 0; i < qt; ++i) {
var $snowflake = $('<div class="snowflakes"></div>');
$snowflake.css({
'left': (Math.random() * $('#site').width()) + 'px',
'top': (- Math.random() * $('#site').height()) + 'px'
});
// add this snowflake to the set of snowflakes
$snowflakes = $snowflakes.add($snowflake);
}
$('#snowZone').prepend($snowflakes);
},
runSnowStorm = function() {
$snowflakes.each(function() {
var singleAnimation = function($flake) {
$flake.animate({
top: "500px",
opacity : "0",
}, Math.random() + 5000, function(){
// this particular snow flake has finished, restart again
$flake.css({
'top': (- Math.random() * $('#site').height()) + 'px',
'opacity': 1
});
singleAnimation($flake);
});
};
singleAnimation($(this));
});
};
createSnowflakes();
runSnowStorm();
}
fallingSnow();
Update2
This one that initializes the left once the animation is done for each snowflake, looks more natural in my opinion.
Also changed the delay from
Math.random() + 5000
to
Math.random()*-2500 + 5000
demo

This is simple.
Your design of function must be this.
function snowflake()
{
if($(".snowflakes").length <= 20)
{
generate_random_snowflake();
}
else
{
call_random_snowflake();
}
}

check this out, pretty simple i just added a function that triggers jquerysnow() and then calls itself again wit random time
updated code now it will just create 20 snow flakes
snowCount = 0;
function snowFlakes(){
console.log(snowCount);
if(snowCount > 20){
return false
}else{
var randomTime = Math.floor(Math.random() * (500) * 2);
setTimeout(function(){
snowCount = snowCount +1;
jquerysnow();
snowFlakes();
},randomTime);
}
}
function jquerysnow() {
var snow = $('<div class="snow"></div>');
$('#snowflakes').prepend(snow);
snowX = Math.floor(Math.random() * $('#snowflakes').width());
snowSpd = Math.floor(Math.random() * (500) * 20);
snow.css({'left':snowX+'px'});
snow.html('*');
snow.animate({
top: "500px",
opacity : "0",
}, 2000, function(){
$(this).remove();
//jquerysnow();
});
}
snowFlakes()
