Single Scroll Slide Change

User
$mainparent[0].addEventListener('wheel', function (e) {
if (!isVisible) return;

const delta = e.deltaY;
if (delta > 0) {
changeSlide('down');
} else if (delta < 0) {
changeSlide('up');
}

e.preventDefault();
}, { passive: false });
make above on single scroll it will change slide

To ensure the slide changes **on every single scroll**, we need to prevent multiple scroll events from firing in quick succession (which can happen due to browser sensitivity), and also make sure it doesn’t skip slides or wait for accumulated scroll distance.

Here's the refined and **debounced** version of your scroll event code that triggers the `changeSlide()` function on **each wheel scroll**, whether up or down:

let isThrottled = false;

$mainparent[0].addEventListener('wheel', function (e) {
    if (!isVisible || isThrottled) return;

    const delta = e.deltaY;

    if (delta > 0) {
        changeSlide('down');
    } else if (delta < 0) {
        changeSlide('up');
    }

    // Throttle to prevent firing too rapidly
    isThrottled = true;
    setTimeout(() => {
        isThrottled = false;
    }, 300); // Adjust timing as needed for smoothness

    e.preventDefault();
}, { passive: false });

### ✅ What this does:
– `isThrottled` prevents the function from being spammed during a fast scroll.
– `setTimeout` ensures you can scroll again after a short delay (e.g. 300ms).
– Works **on every single wheel scroll** (without waiting for 3 scrolls).

$(window).on('scroll', function () {
const scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
const overlayOffset = $overlaySliderGrid.offset().top;
const overlayHeight = $overlaySliderGrid.outerHeight();

if (scrollTop >= overlayOffset && scrollTop

To ensure your scroll-based slider updates **on a single scroll step**, rather than waiting for large scroll distances (like needing to scroll halfway through the section), you need to **trigger a change immediately when a new section is entered** based on viewport position — not continuous scroll percentage.

Here’s how to revise your scroll logic so that **each time the scroll enters a new viewport slice**, it will update the slide only once for that section:

### ✅ Updated Scroll-Based Slider Code (one scroll = one slide change)

let lastScrollTop = 0;

$(window).on('scroll', function () {
    const scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
    const overlayOffset = $overlaySliderGrid.offset().top;
    const overlayHeight = $overlaySliderGrid.outerHeight();

    if (scrollTop >= overlayOffset && scrollTop <= overlayOffset + overlayHeight) {
        const relativeScroll = (scrollTop - overlayOffset) / overlayHeight;
        const newIndex = Math.floor(relativeScroll * $hoverItems.length);

        // Only update if newIndex is valid and changed
        if (newIndex !== currentIndex && newIndex >= 0 && newIndex < $hoverItems.length) {
            currentIndex = newIndex;
            updateSlider($hoverItems.eq(currentIndex));
        }
    }
});

### 🔍 Key Points
– `Math.floor(relativeScroll * totalItems)` converts the scroll position into an index zone.
– This way, the scroll area is divided into equal zones for each slide.
– Scrolling into a new zone triggers the slide change **immediately** — just once.

### ✅ Bonus Tip (Optional Smoother Slide Experience)
You can also **reduce the total height of each slide zone** to exaggerate the transition. For example:

const newIndex = Math.floor((scrollTop - overlayOffset) / (overlayHeight / $hoverItems.length));

This keeps the slider very responsive and changes on every small viewport shift.

Let me know if you want it scroll per viewport height like full-page scroll effects (like fullpage.js) — I can help with that too.
