Now there is a "jump to time" trigger, is there anyway of creating a seekbar from a slider so the user can control (rewind) the timeline on an animation?
I'm fairly new to certain features and don't want to use the seekbar in the default player.
Also, what is the feature in the object trigger wizard - "play timeline?"
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are working on within your project. It's hard to understand what you may be seeing or asking without seeing your file, but I can share some initial thoughts:
Is there any way for a user to rewind the timeline on an animation without using the default seekbar? Where is this trigger? For instance, if it's on a button, the user could use the same button to 'replay' the animation.
What is the "play timeline" trigger for? The play timeline trigger is used for action if the timeline is paused in another place and will pick back up where it was paused.

You might do something like this. When you hold down the mouse button on the slider, you can move it back and forth. More steps and triggers might give better control. Note that steps 1, 2, and 3 play the timeline, while step 4 pauses it.

Thanks Walt,
I will have a play with this and try to modify it to my requirements. Thanks for the help.
