[PLUGIN] Timeline

Document, plugin and sameple capx are included.

edit: now when i typed it i see it, TimeLine.TimerElapsedPercent("timer")

Hi Rex, ive been looking into your great timeline plugin, it already saved me a lot of vars :) but i have a question about TimeLine.TimerElapsedPercent expression, the way i think it would work is that you give a timer name of wich timer you want the elapsed time, so you could give different actions inside the length of the timer, example timer < 50% set alpha +1 timer > 50% set alpha +1

but i dont seem to get how to make it work or how it suppose to work

can you explain a little..

grtz

Using "system condition: compare two varaibles". For example

Great plugin rexrainbow..I will try soon and let you know feedback :P

another plugin for the owner of plugins cup - REEEEX RANBOOOW

woooooooo*clap clap*

Thanks, you also can try [Behavior"> Timer. It can create a timer for each instance of sprite.

Update:

• Add version to 1.0

Example has been update, too.

There is a property named "Game time" which is used to update timeline with system time (dt).

It can allow user update timeline manually by action:"Push timeline forward", if "Game time" set to "No".

Updata timeline by key pressing. Each pressing will let the time increase 3 second.

So user can use many timelines to maintain different time rate.

Awesome! i have a question about this plug in, is designed to create cut-scenes?

No, it only could execute function after a period of time -- a timer witch could support pause/resume.

Ah i see, i tought Construct Classic has a Timeline which could to make cutscenes

Joannesalfa

It might be WorkSheet.

It might be WorkSheet.

I haven't seen this before, thanks for your awesome plug in!

Update

Add action:Pause timeline, action:Resume timeline.

• action:Pause timeline will pause the update of timeline, it will pause all timers registed on it.
• action:Resume timeline will resume the update of timeline.

User could add more then one timeline then pause one of them.

For example,

• one timeline for text typing (UI),
• the other for timer behavior of sprite.

Then user could use Pause/Resume the second timeline (timer behavior) to pause the sprite's action without stop text typing.

rexrainbow what is the pros and cons on using this plugin to spawn objects as opposed to the systems wait X seconds call?

eldods

User might use worksheet, or scenario for spawning objects.

These plugins could write a sequence of function calls at an external text file to reduce the events in event sheet, and it might be more read-able.
