I can't get random variables for each timeline repeat using repeatRefres

Hi Guys, 

 

I'm trying to create some glitching text that is different on every repeat using an SVG filter and some basic transforms. I'm happy enough with how it looks but can't get the randomised skewX and Delay variables to refresh on repeat despite setting repeatRefresh to true on the timeline and using the gsap random functions or a custom function. I feel like I've set it up correctly but I must be doing something stupid and I can't spot it.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ahhh, thank you.

That works brilliantly for the skewX (and all the other variables) but not for delay as far as I can tell. I was hoping to have a random repeat delay too.

 

textTL
  .to(text_to_distort, {
    attr: {
      baseFrequency: gsap.utils.random(0.2, 2, true),
      numOctaves: gsap.utils.random(2, 10, 1, true),
      seed: gsap.utils.random(1, 4, true),
    },
    x: gsap.utils.random(-2, 2, true), 
    y: gsap.utils.random(-2, 2, true),
    skewX: gsap.utils.random(-20, 20, true),
    scale: gsap.utils.random(0.5, 1.1, true),
    duration: text_distort_dur,
    delay: gsap.utils.random(0, 5, true)
  })

I thought by adding a random delay to the first tween in the timeline it would add a random repeat delay. Is there another method? I don't seem to be able to apply a random function to the repeatDelay variable on the timeline itself.

Yeah - sorry about that. I didn't see the part about delay. duration, delay and stagger do not refresh. In this case you'd probably want to create the animation in a function and then onComplete call the function again. 

 

Does that make sense?

 

Happy tweening.

:)
