Hey, I can't seem to get timelines to work correctly. I would like to have a timeline play on a particular dialogue entry, so I used this sequencer command:

Timeline (play, StartGameTimeline)

But nothing happens. I guess I'm probably missing something.

Hi,

Have you enabled the Dialogue System's Timeline integration?

Are there any errors or warnings in the Console window?

If you temporarily set the Dialogue Manager's Debug Level to Info, does it log that the Timeline() sequencer command is playing?

If you open the Timeline editor window on your timeline asset, does it start playing when the Timeline() sequencer command runs?

If your timeline controls the camera and you're using a camera controller script, is the script superceding Timeline's control of the camera?

I think I have enabled Timeline integration... dumb question, but how do I check if I have or not?

When it reaches the correct dialogue entry, the console reads:

Sequencer.Play(Timeline(play "StartGameTimeline")@0)

Nothing happens on the timeline editor window.

It's not controlling a camera, just some sprites and an activation track of an NPC.

Select Tools > Pixel Crushers > Dialogue System > Welcome Window. Then check if the Timeline Support checkbox is ticked. Or select Edit > Project Settings Player. Then make sure Other Settings > Scripting Define Symbols contains USE_TIMELINE. However, the console line you pasted suggests that the Timeline integration is set up correctly.

Is the GameObject named "StartGameTimline" active?

Is there a comma between "play" and "StartGameTimeline"?

Do you see a second line that looks like:
