TIMELINE_EVENT[0]

Greetings, 
TIMELINE_EVENT[0]
  {
  nTimelineNumber=TIMELINE.ID
  }
The above doesn't seem to work. Has anyone wildcarded a timeline event successfully?

Thanks.

    Nope'
    There's been a long time wish for such a thing as well as a timeline array

    TIMELINE_EVENT[my_timelines]

    A timeline stack does work, however

    TIMELINE_EVENT[timeline_1]
    TIMELINE_EVENT[timeline_2]
    TIMELINE_EVENT[timeline_3]
    TIMELINE_EVENT[timeline_4]
    {
    //
    }

    You can follow that stack up with the timeline.ID parameter to figure out which timeline tripped the event too.

    Here is one way I have used a stack of timelines: 
    timeline_event[tlVolUP[1]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[2]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[3]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[4]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[5]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[6]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[7]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[8]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[9]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[10]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[11]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[12]] {
	stack_var integer index
	stack_var integer nOutput
	
	// tlVolUP is an array of timeline id #s
	for (index = 1; index <= length_array(tlVolUP); index){
		if (timeline.id == tlVolUp[index]) {
			break
		}
	}
	
	nOutput = metAudioOutputMap[index]
	
	if (audSwitcher[nOutput].input) {
		if (audioAdjustVolume(nOutput, 2)) {
			send_level metreauKeypads[index], 1, ((audSwitcher[nOutput].volume * 2) + 35)
		}
	}
}

    Thanks guys. This is how I have been doing it. I thought the [0] would be a better way. I think I posted the same question a few years ago and got the same answer. Thanks again!

      send_level metreauKeypads[index], 1, ((audSwitcher[nOutput].volume * 2) + 35)
    }
  }
}

    What's the point of the for loop? Wouldn't this work just as well?
    timeline_event[tlVolUP[1]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[2]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[3]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[4]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[5]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[6]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[7]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[8]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[9]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[10]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[11]]
timeline_event[tlVolUP[12]]
{
  stack_var integer index
  stack_var integer nOutput
	
  nOutput = metAudioOutputMap[timeline.id]
	
  if (audSwitcher[nOutput].input) {
    if (audioAdjustVolume(nOutput, 2)) {
	send_level metreauKeypads[timeline.id], 1, ((audSwitcher[nOutput].volume * 2) + 35)
    }
  }
}

    That would not work in this case. The timeline IDs are not 1-12, so the timeline ID is different than the index of the array.

    This was from a piece of code that I originally wrote without the idea of stacking timelines, so I didn't setup the timeline IDs to be an easy sequence for that to work, so the for loop was the quickest way to do it.

    In that case I would create a map similar to the one you are using for the outputs to avoid a for loop in a timeline.
