onUpdateParams isn't giving me access to {self}

[Elicrespo]

Hey guys,

 

I am trying to use and learn about onUpdateParams. The targetSelector is passing but the "{self}" isn't passing and I can't access the tween. What monstrosity am I committing here?  LOL

 

Yes, the commented code works, but I am focused on "onUpdateParams". 

 

Thank you. Appreciate the help.

That's the very old syntax - honestly, the Params stuff is not necessary at all. Your intuition was correct - just do this:

onUpdate() {
    syncOpacity(this, ".box2");
}

There's no practical reason why you'd need to use params - that's more of a relic from the past that'll likely get dropped in a future major release (not anytime soon). 

 

Does that help?
