Use A Value of the Track Binding on CreatePlayable

I want to set a default to a value in my clip template on CreatePlayable() which I get from the corresponding Track Binding Component

I cant figure out how to get access to the TrackBinding in the CreatePlayable() or even with the newly introduced Clip Editor.
I always get to a road block where I either cant access the graph when I have the track or I cant get access the track when I have the graph.

The idea behind this is to always have a default value but can be changed to a different one for specific uses cases.

Okay I think this is a little bit to superficial, so here my real goal:
I want to use the Sprite Resolver in the 2D Animation Package with the Timeline (Animation is kinda broke)
I want to drag the Sprite Resolver Component into the Timeline and when I create a Clip I want that clip to get the Sprite Category of the Track Binding (Sprite Resolver), but I also want to change the Category String to a different one.

e.g I have my Mouth with different phonomes shapes in a Category called "Phonemes", but than I want to also use a different Category for e.g emotions.

Of course I can put the category and label in manually all the time, but this is extremly tedious and I want a more elegant solution.

Setting a dynamically receivable default which can be changed after creation.

Maybe Im stuck In an approach that is way to complicated.

I also thought about keeping the category string empty and using the original one, but than when I change the category name its stuck an the new category name, so I need to store the default category name and change it back after the current clip has ended or so.

I hope the forum can help me.



Code where I think I want to put the default value:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public override Playable CreatePlayable(PlayableGraph graph, GameObject owner)
3.     {
4. // Get the Director
5.         var director = graph.GetResolver() as PlayableDirector;
6. // use the Director to get the DefaultBinding of the Track... but I cant get the track here
7.  
8.         settings.category = "DEFAULT VALUE";
9.  
10.         var playable = ScriptPlayable<SpriteResolverClipBehaviour>.Create(graph, settings);
11.  
12.         return playable;
13.     }

 

Yeah this works, but than I have the problem that I cant change it after that because the TrackMixer is forcing the override.
Is there a "Only On Create" Function or something like this?
Maybe via the Clip Editor?

 

This is why Timeline is overwriting my changed values immediately.

Thats the magic trick!

Yes exactly what I wanted.
Parse a value OnCreate into the created Clip.
This allows me to change the value after creation
Thanks!

Here is my solution, its located in the ClipEditor:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public override void OnCreate(TimelineClip clip, TrackAsset track, TimelineClip clonedFrom)
2.     {
3.         var shotClip = (SpriteResolverClip)clip.asset;
4.  
5.         var spriteResolver =  TimelineEditor.inspectedDirector.GetGenericBinding(track) as SpriteResolver;
6.    
7.         shotClip.settings.category = spriteResolver.GetCategory();
8.     }
