CountUp with a start, end and duration
Hi All!!!
I wanted a counter to count up to a specific number and stop. Kind of like you see on websites where the number of visitors or certificates earned.
Nothing fancy with regards to the nu...
Hi Mike! 👋 Welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Thanks for sharing this countup solution with the community. And you made the instructions so easy to follow. Nice!
Always happy to share fun toys!!!!
Here's the code for a countdown from a number to a number. Not a clock countdown.
//countDown defining start and end numbers along with increment delay.var player = GetPlayer();function startCount(start, end, delay) {var countingDiv = player.GetVar("countUp");var count = start;function updateCount() {countingDiv = count;count--;if (count >= end) {setTimeout(updateCount, delay);}//adding the count - 1 as the interval is counted at a fraction above. This will round up to the actual number.player.SetVar("countUpDisplay", count + 1);}updateCount();console.log("Start at " + start);console.log("End at " + end);console.log("Delay in ms: " + delay + " milliseconds between each number");console.log("Delay in sec: " + delay / 1000 + " seconds between each number");}// (Start the count, end the count, delay in ms). For example, 1-20 with a delay with a delay of 1 second between each count would look like this: startCount(1, 20, 1000)startCount(300, 0, 20);
Awesome! Thanks for sharing that way too, Mike!
