Solved How to make a two-way link between SceneAnimation/VAMTimeline playback time and a slider?

[david5128]

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to making SceneAnimation/VAMTimeline playback time and an UI slider link together, current I can add a trigger to the slider with playback time control, however the playback time itself doesn't reflected in the slider value (when playing).

Thank you!

If I understand you correctly, you want a UIslider to increase as the animation progresses in time.
I know that CuddleMocap has a progress slider doing that, you can check their scenes and learn how they do it.

Hi, thanks for the hint, just checked for their scene, they created a VAM Timeline storable float params target for the slider, and add two keyframes to the animation representing from start time to end time, which making the slider increase and decrease as the timeline plays, however the slider itself become 'disabled' since it no longer controllable (timeline plugin will update the slider value every frame)

if you need to have it controllable and keep the progress, I guess you could make 2 sliders.
