Simple countdown not working

Hi! 

 

It's probably going to be very obvious lol but I am new here, and pretty new to coding too. 

 

I am building a game and trying to make some countdown, from 3 to 0, before the game actually starts. 

 

See the CodePen to get what I have done so far. Not working as intented, who would've guessed ?

 

The effects are what I am looking for, sorta, but it does display only 1, then 1, then 1... Not 3, 2, 1 ?

See the Pen jOGmNVw by LVH75 (@LVH75) on CodePen.

Hi @LuciusVH :)

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

When you call a function like that, you need to use onStartParams. You'd have something like this:

onStart: countdown, onStartParams:[3]

Loops and repeats can be quite helpful for something like a countdown. Here's another way to approach it. Maybe it'll give you some ideas.

 

See the Pen mdBmdMB by PointC (@PointC) on CodePen.

 

Happy tweening and welcome aboard.

Hi!

Off-topic (!NOT about GSAP):

About counters watch video from "google chrome developers" chanel, they say about all problems with counters in one video

They create optimal solution

But if you're using GSAP, you wouldn't need to worry about that because GSAP accurately handles time.
