Of course! great idea thanks @cassie

thanks @OSUblake so it’s more that i didn’t understand the From tweens, rather than the drawsvg, that makes sense, i didn’t even think of that. appreciate the link to learn more! I also found that i got the best results when i placed an ID on every path i wanted to draw, and then used an array to animate them all with a single tween, it worked much more reliably that way, which is probably just good practice anyway! Thanks again!

Thanks so much @PointC i didn’t see this in the gsap documents, but it’s the perfect answer, really appreciate the speed of this forum! cheers

I’ve updated the codepen to include the tl, as @Cassie suggested, but when i remove the repeat:1 to the tl, i still get the problems.

Oh that’s great thanks @PointC i didn’t see that’s how the draw works, because it’s .from it’s set the line to 0 anyway… that’s a great tip for my understanding of how its working

Hey @Cassie thanks for the quick reply. I see that I didn’t do the tl, that was my quick mistake in trying to make the codepen, it was factored on tl within my animation. Because there is a lot of other things happening in the animation, I can’t simply use a repeat:1 on the tl, to get what I’m after, and when i refactor it for that, I get the problem again, (ie remove the repeat:1, and just simply have more lines of code in the tl. )

I have a longer and complex annimation, I’m using Drawsvg early on, and it works perfectly, however when later in the timeline (it’s nested in another tl) i try and run the same drawsvg i’m gettting all kinds of weird things but nothing that i want. I’m sure it’s user error, i haven’t been using gsap very long. But I made a simple version on codepen and still can’t get it to work. any help would be appreciated.
