How to pass a textplugin value that's a dynemic value

[rhut_tiger]

I want in this case for the time variable to be updated on each play() event.

but as the timeline is created only when the page loads for the first time it doesnt get the updated value.

how to solve this?

Thanks for the demo.

The time value gets recorded when that tween is added to your timeline. It doesn't automatically keep updating.

For something like this its best to create a new tween for your timeline or create a new timeline each time you want to play.

The demo below calls a function that clears your timeline and puts a fresh new tween inside it

i'm using a random number so that you don't have to wait a minute to see a new value. feel free to switch it back to what you had.

Amazing this is perfect ....

i tried adding the tween separately  just before play(). like this codepen 

but it was not working as intended 

your solution seems perfect

Hi @rhut_tiger,

 

The Timeline - call it newTime - is part of the function getNewTimeline where it becomes cleared and updated on currentTime.
The result (return newTime;) of the function is a fresh newTime.
