Hello everyone
Does anyone know a simple javascript function that will choose a scene based on which combination of timelines have run? In my simple example there are three coloured boxes. For example, if the red and blue box timelines have been triggered i would like to jump to scene redblue on the jump to scene button but if only the red timeline has been triggered it would jump to the red scene etc etc.
Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Have a look at my answer here.
Get the feeling the concept would lend itself to this..
Thanks for the response but I don’t think that’s quite what I’m after. I need to jump to particular scene based on which combination of timelines have been triggered.
I understand.
And the concept of the code that registers selection I would expect be adapted to do what you want.
You would use Timeline Actions at the end of each timeline for the boxes to call and register itself with the adapted code.
I’ve tried using the end time in each timeline as a variable and using the total (y) to choose which scene it jumps to on a mouse click of the button. It does not work but I’m stumped.
Any help is greatly appreciated.scene on timeline combo.hype.zip (27.8 KB)
What showed up for me regarding the code not running properly for the “SceneSelector” function is You are missing a bracket on line 39 (missing bracket shown & highlighted in attached file).
Also and this will not throw an error but give you bad results.
In javascript equal to should be
==
or
===
The latter being of same type i.e a number is not converted to a string type before comparison.
The more common equal to is ‘==’ and what you should use here.
A single equals symbol
=
is the equivlent od set to
Also,
In this case you could use a simple object for your numbers rather than a timeline duration.
This will give you a bit more flexablity.
Each timeline has a Time line Action at the end
which calls: iRan() function.
//init ( run this bit eonce)
if(typeof hypeDocument.customData.timelinesRan == 'undefined' ){
//-- we will add the timeline name here so we only count it once
hypeDocument.customData.timelinesRan = []
//-- this will be our counter
hypeDocument.customData.timelinesCounter = 0
}
//-- always run below
//-- timeline names and values
var runList = {'bluetl':5,'greentl':1,'redtl':3}
//-- which timeline called this function
var timelineName = event.timelineName
var thisTimelinenumber = runList[timelineName]
//-- timeline name is not in array
if (!hypeDocument.customData.timelinesRan.includes(timelineName)){
//-- add timeline name
hypeDocument.customData.timelinesRan.push()
//-- sum up the total
hypeDocument.customData.timelinesCounter += thisTimelinenumber
}
Then change your other function to
var result = hypeDocument.customData.timelinesCounter
if (result == 1) {
hypeDocument.showSceneNamed('green', hypeDocument.kSceneTransitionCrossfade, 1.1);
} else if (result == 3) {
hypeDocument.showSceneNamed('red', hypeDocument.kSceneTransitionInstant, 1.1);
} else if (result == 5) {
hypeDocument.showSceneNamed('blue', hypeDocument.kSceneTransitionCrossfade, 1.1);
} else if (result == 4) {
hypeDocument.showSceneNamed('redgreen', hypeDocument.kSceneTransitionCrossfade, 1.1);
} else if (result == 6) {
hypeDocument.showSceneNamed('greenblue', hypeDocument.kSceneTransitionCrossfade, 1.1);
} else if (result == 8) {
hypeDocument.showSceneNamed('redblue', hypeDocument.kSceneTransitionCrossfade, 1.1);
} else {
hypeDocument.showSceneNamed('redgreenblue', hypeDocument.kSceneTransitionCrossfade, 1.1);
}

That’s great. Now my timelines can be of any length- thank you so much!
