Set PlayableDirector bindings from script

Hi guys.

I have a lot of custom Playables and all of it have a same TrackBindingType (MyType, for example).

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. [TrackClipType(typeof(ClipType1))]
3. [TrackBindingType(typeof(MyType))]
4. public class Type1Track : TrackAsset
5. {
6.     //Some code here
7. }

e.t.c.

Idea is, load a timeline asset from resources set it to GO Director and instantiate all of Director bindings with the same component typeof MyType form this GO.

I understang how to do it manually, but manually setting ruin all the conception. I wonder it must be something like that:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     void Start()
3.     {
4.         PlayableDirector director = this.GetComponent<PlayableDirector>();
5.         director.playableAsset = this.TimelineAsset;
6.         //Set bindings here
7.         director.SOME_BIND_METHOD(GetComponent<MyType>());
8.  
9.         director.Play();
10.     }

Any suggestions. Thanks.

 

Thanks for answer. Another question.
Is there any method to get this binded object inside of PlayableBehaviour exept void ProcessFrame(Playable playable, FrameData info, object playerData) method?
For exmple I need access to "object playerData" (my binded object) variable at the start of playable track plays or at the start of Graph Plays. Methods OnBehaviourPlay and OnGraphStart dont have an "object playerData" argument.

 

Thanks, this code work fine. One more thing.

I try change playable speed at runtime like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.             PlayableDirector director = this.GetComponent<PlayableDirector>();
3.             for (int i = 0; i < director.playableGraph.GetOutputCount(); i++)
4.             {
5.                 director.playableGraph.GetOutput(i).GetSourcePlayable().SetSpeed(0.1F);
6.             }
7.             director.Play();

But its throw a "InvalidOperationException: This PlayableGraph is invalid. To create a valid PlayableGraph, please use the CreateGraph method." exception.

Is there any method to change playable speed at runtime?

 

I suppose that you can not set speed of individual tracks of timeline, but you should set speed of the director itself. The whole timeline playable tracks are controlled via rootplayable graph so you should try the following code.

Code (CSharp):

1. director.playableGraph.GetRootPlayable().SetSpeed();

 

HI, can someone help me please?
How can i take all my Playable Director'binding objects to a list,i want to create a list that contains all binding objects from my current Playable Director.

And i dont know how to right it,so can you make a small script as example for me to catch he ideia please.

 

Is it possible to get to the gameobject of the sceneObjProp

i would like to deactive the current blinded object in a timeline

 

I had to do something similar - in my case swapping out the brain used in any timeline track of a child. It's my first brain surgery

Code (CSharp):

1.     void TransplantBrain(PlayableDirector director, CinemachineBrain newBrain) {
2.       var outputs = director.playableAsset.outputs;
3.       foreach (var output in outputs) {
4.         if (output.outputTargetType == typeof(CinemachineBrain)) {
5.           director.ClearGenericBinding(output.sourceObject);
6.           director.SetGenericBinding(output.sourceObject, newBrain);
7.         }
8.       }
9.     }
10.  

I should also mention that in order for this to work I had to "jiggle the handle" by disabling and re-enabling the brain.

Code (CSharp):

1.         var directorList = page.GetComponentsInChildren<PlayableDirector>();
2.         newBrain.enabled = false;
3.         foreach (var director in directorList) {
4.           TransplantBrain(director, newBrain);
5.         }
6.         newBrain.enabled = true;
7.       }
8.  

 

Even the simple task of setting up multiple PlayableDirector bindings on a prefab and then switching between them with a script as needed feels obtuse. I just want to switch the Playable here between the different bindings already on the director.

I can see the bindings and the playable assets right there in the Editor, but I can't figure out how to navigate these APIs to get to them.

 

Has this API matured at all? It still looks too low-level glancing at the API docs.

As a footnote, my game's development could easily be 2x more productive if Unity's APIs were more mature and developer friendly. It doesn't appear Unity is putting enough effort into this. As someone who put aside a lucrative Silicon Valley tech leadership career to pursue my dream of making a video game, this is literally costing me 100s of thousands of dollars.
