4. Click the drop-down arrow in the Animation Behaviour field, and select how the animation will play
during this task:
• Scale - the duration of the animation is matched to the duration of the task. This is the default
setting.
• Match Start - the animation starts when the task starts. If the animation runs past the end of the
TimeLiner simulation, the end of the animation will be clipped.
• Match End - the animation starts early enough so that it ends just when the task end. If the
animation starts before the beginning of the TimeLiner simulation, the start of the animation will
be clipped.
You are now ready to simulate your schedule.
Adding Scripts to Tasks
When you add scripts to TimeLiner tasks, the script events are ignored, and the script actions are run
regardless of the events.
Using scripts enables you to control how the animation will play (forwards, backwards, a segment at a
time etc.). You can also use scripts to change the camera viewpoints for individual tasks, or play several
animations at the same time.
To add a script:
1. If the TimeLiner window is not already open, select Tools > TimeLiner from the menu bar.
2. On the Tasks tab, click the task you want to add a script to, and use the horizontal scroll bar to
locate the Script column.
3. Click the drop-down arrow in the Script field, and select the desired script to run with this task.
Note:
Before you simulate your schedule, be sure to enable animation scripts in your file, by clicking the
Toggle Scripts button on the Animation toolbar.
