Lua How to pass variable to other function.

[BulawOw]

local function animateGate(creature, variant, animationLoop)
    animationLoop = animationLoop + 1
    print(animationLoop)
    if not animationLoop == 3 then
        --do stuff
    end
end

function onCastSpell(creature, variant)
    
    local animationLoop = 0
    
    addEvent(animateGate, 100, animationLoop)
end

Im stuck on this and cant figure out how to pass this variable this is error im getting

Your animateGate function expected creature, variant & animationLoop parameters, but you only passed 1 parameter to it from the addEvent call, which turned out to be creature in this case.

local function animateGate(animationLoop)
    animationLoop = animationLoop + 1
    print(animationLoop)
    if not animationLoop == 3 then
        --do stuff
    end
end

function onCastSpell(creature, variant)    
    local animationLoop = 0
    addEvent(animateGate, 100, animationLoop)
end
