Engine: Control Timeline - When 'play from beginning' is disabled, what should happen?

Temmy

Hello,

When like this:

What is the expected result on play?

In my project the timeline doesn't play and it's almost like everything is frozen. I was hoping by not saying play from beginning I'd be able to make use of the 'Initial Time' feature of the timeline so I could go about starting things from half way through for quicker testing. As far as I can see though there's no way of getting it to play unless "play from beginning" is true.

If checked, PlayableDirector.Play is called. Otherwise, PlayableDirector.Resume.

It may be the case that the latter specifically requires a Timeline to have already been played, and then paused midway, for it to work - which can also be done with the Action.

Unfortunately, it seems to be a lack of a way to reliably tell if a Timeline is currently paused.

However, to prevent the Timeline from rewinding to the first frame when playing, just uncomment line 100 in ActionTimeline.cs:

runtimeDirector.time = 0f;
