Pulse animation of 5 circles

Hi all, this is more a tip than a question: Because of the universal selector added to the badge class for the transform origin

.badge * { transform-origin: 180px 180px; }

the @keyframes pulse animation doesn't work as expected.

I got around this by adding classes to all the separate circles within the star group and then setting each with its corresponding exact px transform origin. Then it works fine ie

.circle-1 { transform-origin: 180px 107.8px; } .circle-2 { transform-origin: 223.7px 244.2px; }

etc...

to set transform-origin on center you need to do it like this now:

.badge *{ transform-origin: center; transform-box : fill-box; }

This was the only way I was able to get the 5 points to pulse from the tip of the star rather than shoot straight out and back from each tip of the star. Thanks!

This worked really well for me! Is it just a Chrome thing? I was also experiencing the issue where the circles shot off in a direction rather than pulsed as intended.

This needs to be added to the course!

My post refers to making this work on Firefox. It gives exactly the same result as the video.

Does the 50%/50% setting not work on Firefox?

The 50% 50% setting doesn't seem to work in the Chrome browser. When I tried the 180px it showed the circles shot away from the tip of the star. What Austin Powers has up works just fine.

I can see how that setting would give you a different (though interesting) result from the video.

But that's not the course setting. The course setting, which can be seen at about 15 seconds into the video, is:

.badge * {
  transform-origin: 50% 50%;
}

This setting will produce the effect as seen in the video without individual settings for each circle. It was created at about 8:35 in the previous video.

Steven Parker I wasn't the down-voter, but I'm assuming that the downvote was because neither the pixel value nor the percentage value works for some of us. I was having the same issue. Austin Powers 's solution worked for me though -->

.badge * { 
    transform-origin: center; 
    transform-box : fill-box; 
}
