timeline_get_name( ind );
Argument | Description |
---|---|
ind | The index of the time line to check the name of. |
Returns: String
This function can be used to get the name of a time line as a string. if the time line has been created dynamically using the timeline_add function, the name returned
will have the format "__newtimelineN" where "N" is the number of the time line (starting from 0). Please note that this is only a string and cannot be used to reference the timeline
directly - for that you would need the timeline index. You can, however, use this string to get the timeline index using the returned string along with the function
asset_get_index().
str = timeline_get_name(global.tl);
The above code will store the name of the time line indexed in the variable "global.tl".
