Skipping forward without triggering Notifications/AnimationEvents

Hello!

I would like to skip forward in the timeline without triggering all Notifications from markers or Animation Events in Clips inbetween.

What I am doing right now:

Code (CSharp):

1.         private void Jump(double targetTime)
2.         {
3.             director.time = targetTime;
4.         }

This triggers all notifications that happen between the current time and the targetTime.

What i have tried so far by looking at other posts here:

Code (CSharp):

1.         private void Jump(double targetTime)
2.         {
3.             director.playableGraph.GetRootPlayable(0).SetSpeed(0);
4.             director.Pause();
5.             director.timeUpdateMode = DirectorUpdateMode.Manual;
6.             director.time = targetTime;
7.             director.timeUpdateMode = DirectorUpdateMode.GameTime;
8.             director.Play();
9.             director.playableGraph.GetRootPlayable(0).SetSpeed(1);
10.         }

And all combinations of the above but none of them help in any way.

Thanks!

Hello!

I am now using this code:

Code (CSharp):

1.                             director.Stop();
2.                             director.time = navigationMarker.time;
3.                             Log.Debug($"Jumped to {navigationMarker.Tag} at {director.time}");
4.                             director.Evaluate();
5.                             director.Play();

But it still is triggering the animation events inbetween.

Thanks!

 

I ran into the same issue. I'm a little surprised your original solution didn't work, I created a function similar to what you have above and it has been working for me. There is one small difference, though. I have found that if the director is currently playing when the time is explicitly set further in the timeline, all of the markers are queued and play in order after the new time is set. My fix was to

Pause()

and then

Resume()

the director after setting the new time. Here is what I have been using:

Code (CSharp):

1. private void SetDirectorTime(double time, bool continueFromNewTime = true)
2. {
3.     playableDirector.Pause();
4.     playableDirector.time = time;
5.     if (continueFromNewTime)
6.     {
7.         playableDirector.Resume();
8.     }
9. }

 

@seant_unity
I have tried to use Stop & Pause & Evaluate Nothing works. The previous INotifications are always called.
Also just calling director.Pause() & Resume() calls all INotifications before. This seems like a bug?

I am at Unity 2019.4

Or is something wrong with the way I am implementing the INotificationReceiver? (Which is a Monobehaviour attachted to tsame gameobject as the Playabledirector.

Code (CSharp):

1.         public void OnNotify(Playable origin, INotification notification, object context)
2.         {
3.             if (!Application.isPlaying || TimelineNavigator.JumpInProgress)
4.             {
5.                 return;
6.             }
7.             if (notification is PauseMarker pauseMarker)
8.             {
9.                 Debug.Log("Pause triggered!");
10.                 director.playableGraph.GetRootPlayable(0).SetSpeed(0);
11.             }
12.         }

 

Yes!

That was it, I was missing the INotificationOptionProvider interface.

Thanks!
