I've created a loop of "changing words" with jQuery by using the code in this answer: jQuery: Find word and change every few seconds How do I stop it after some time? Say after either 60

let tCount = 0;

let changeText = () => {
  if (tCount < 5) {
    tCount++;
    console.log(tCount);
    return tCount;
  }
};

const interval = setInterval(() => {
    changeText();
    
    if (tCount == 4) {
      clearInterval(interval);
    }
}, 2000);

let tCount = 0;

let changeText = () => {
  if (tCount < 5) {
    tCount++;
    console.log(tCount);
    return tCount;
  }
};

const interval = setInterval(() => {
    changeText();
    
    if (tCount == 4) {
      clearInterval(interval);
    }
}, 2000);

Probably a better way to do this but this is working for me

i dont want to clear interval after count 3, it pauses for 2 sec, I don't want that delay

Then please edit your post so it makes it more clear for people https://discord.com/channels/436251713830125568/1022288836715356180

I think you probably still need to clear and then reset the interval with the new delay you want so vince's code is still valid, just needs an extra setInterval() in there after the clearInterval()

i am confused

MarkBoots•2y ago

like so?

let tCount = 0;
const changeText = () => {
  console.log(tCount);
  tCount < 4 ? tCount++ : tCount = 0;
  if(tCount !== 3) setTimeout(changeText, 2000);
  else changeText()
}

changeText()

let tCount = 0;
const changeText = () => {
  console.log(tCount);
  tCount < 4 ? tCount++ : tCount = 0;
  if(tCount !== 3) setTimeout(changeText, 2000);
  else changeText()
}

changeText()

timeout calls function again after 2000ms if not 3,
