Calling events from room creation

[TheRPGNOOb]

Is there anyway to call a timeline in the creation code of a room? Or, what's the equivelant of the drag n' drop parser 'Set time line timeline #' if any?

taken from the manual. you need to learn to read the manual, or you're gonna find a lot of your posts getting closed.

GAMEPLAY: We have seen that for complex timing issues you can use the time line resource. Each instance can have a time line resource associated with it. The following variables deal with this:

timeline_index Index of the time line associated with the instance. You can set this to a particular time line to use that one. Set it to -1 to stop using a time line for the instance.

timeline_position Current position within the time line. You can change this to skip certain parts or to repeat parts.

timeline_speed Normally, in each step the position in the time line is increased with 1. You can change this amount by setting this variable to a different value. You can use reals, e.g. 0.5. If the value is larger than one, several moments can happen within the same time step. They will all be performed in the correct order, so no actions will be skipped.

CHANGING RESOURCES:The following routines are available for creating and changing time lines. Don’t change time lines that are in use!

timeline_add() Adds a new time line. It returns the index of the time line. timeline_delete(ind) Deletes the time line with the given index. Make sure no instances uses the time line in any room.

timeline_moment_add(ind,step,codestr) Adds a code action to the time line at moment step. codestr contains the code for the actions. If the step does not exist it is created. So you can add multiple code actions for the same moment.

timeline_moment_clear(ind,step) You can use this function to clear all the actions for a particular moment.

RESOURCES:The following functions will give you information about a timeline:


timeline_exists(ind) Returns whether a time line with the given index exists.
timeline_get_name(ind) Returns the name of the time line with the given index.

These have been found by opening the Manual, going into find, and typing the word "timeline"
