How do I toggle (pause/resume) timeline properly?

Hi!

I try to pause/resume a timeline on a key pressed event, but I have some troubles with timeline selection..

My goal is to tagging master keyframes with the "pause" tag (where the timeline stops), and resume it with a key press.

The issue is that when I try to select the timeline by this tag, it doesn't find it.

If I'm using pause without tag, it's working, cause I selected the timeline with the "on keyframe reached" event, but I can't resume it, because I don't know how to select it. Any idea to solve this? Thank you!

Not working:

I think I have the correct solution.

The pause/resume etc. timeline tag is not a keyframe tag. When I play a timeline, I can flag it with a tag on the timeline play modal, and the pause/resume method needs this tag.

The tag you can give when you play a timeline is used to identify it later on with the the pause/resume and stop actions, as well as with the "on complete" trigger conditions that accept a tag.

The tag you can give to keyframes is used for the keyframe reached trigger condition that accepts a tag, so you can do something when a specific keyframe is reached.

They are not related.

Can you explain how you were expecting the tagging to work?

Thanks for the reply!

My goal is to pause the timeline, if someone speaks in the given "scene". For that, I'm using the keyframe tag option. It works like a charm. In that moment, I show the user some text, and I want some action from the user, to resume the timeline. I want to give enough time, to read it. And for resuming the timeline, I have to identify it somehow. My process now is when I start playing the timeline, I give a tag for it, and I store that tag in a global variable. After the timeline reaches the keyframe where someone starts to speak, I pause the timeline, and in a key pressed event, I resume it with the timeline tag, what I gave it before. After the timeline completes, I clear the global variable.

My original problem was that I didn't understood what tag the resume method needs. But it works now :)
