Steps Easing: Access current step in onUpdate?

[SimonWidjaja 6 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi. Is there a way to get the current step # in onUpdate callback when using ease: 'steps(123)'? I was spending the last hour trying so, but without any luck. I could read out the current backgroundPositionX and use that to recalculate the current step #. But that is not very performant and more a workaround. I bet there is a smarter way to achieve that in GSAP, right?

Hey Simon. Given that steps are linear (unless you mix it with another ease) you should be able to get the current step by using the tween's progress. For example:

Thanks. Zach. That is exactly how I ended up. Works like a charm... I just thought there might be a more elegant solution. But it's still pretty straight forward! I can totally live with that.
