Play Timeline (Action)

The Play Timeline (Action) behaves very similar to the Play Timeline (Step). The only difference is because this is a Action node, it will not progress the player through the graph when the animation has finished. This can be used to play animations where the user does not need to wait for them to finish to continue, this could be A Fan moving once being turned on, a worker walking off site, or even a Helicopter blade spinning.

Setup

Follow these steps to set up a new Highlighted Object Action.

1. Follow the set for the Play Timeline (Step) as it is identical in set up.

That's it. Now when the action is called the chosen Playable Director will play an animation.
