"Tagging" timestamps in Godot Animation Player

Is there a way to add 'tags' to the timeline of godot?

I want to be able to tag certain timestamps in my godot animation player, and possibly query for the previous/next timestamps

I've tried using "call" track to simulate tags (i.e. by calling code) but it doesn't really allow for querying the timestamps

Solution

  • So, it looks like there is a PR out to add markers https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/91765

    There is also this issue related to this problem https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/8414

    Those may take some time to merge into Godot, so in the meantime, using call functions will probably be the best bet.

    You can pass in parameters from the call function, which may help with what you want to do. You can also hard code variables in code with the time stamp in it.

    It might be helpful to know your end goal to see if there's a better way to solving it, but at least this should be a head start.

    Hope this helps!
