    Hello,

    I'm trying to use timeline in my game with story is driven by user choices.

    Sequencing animations and audio with timeline is perfect. But problem showed when while recording different animations depend on user choice.

    Is possible to apply last frame of timeline to scene? Because new timeline should start from state of the last frame from previous timeline. While turning off preview the character is going to initial position. Ofcourse many objects can move not only main character and placing all of objects to the right positions can be very time consuming.
    Or maby you have idea how to deal with this problem.

    I hope my explanation is good enough to understand.

    Thanks for help!

    If you set your animations tracks TrackOffsets to ApplySceneOffsets, they will start from their current position. This will start them from their current position in the scene. When you author them they will use their default scene position, but in playmode, like an animator controller, they will just start from where-ever they currently are. This can be used to chain timelines.

    If you need to force a particular frame of a timeline, you can also use

    playableDirector.time = x;
    playableDirector.Evaluate().

    Evaluate works like a charm.
