TimelineMax not incrementing x value with +=

[sirhc 2 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi all,

 

Im having trouble triggering my 'slideshow', i got the basics working with the timeline, but whenever i restart it, the 'x : ''-='' doenst add the amount, but starts from the previous x value.

I have a 'activeCount' variable running, which disables the buttons when the max amount of slides is reached.
This part works fine in the console, but ofcourse not really visible when the timeline isn't working correctly.

Can someone help me with this?

Cheers.

Hi @sirhc, it's because your restarting the same timelines with values that were calculated at the start. To introduce new values, you can use a function based value for `x` or you can just make these Tweens within the `onclick` handler rather than Timelines.

OK, great! I have updated the embedded pen (I somehow forked multiple times and it got messed up ... should have had coffee before I started )

 

But, I'm glad you got it figured out!
