Can you overwrite timeline duration in code?

We have an animation for a visual timer set to 3 seconds in the runtime.

If needed, can we overwrite this in code later?

If so, is there anything I need to set up in my timeline or state machine?

Overwrite animation duration in code Hey team, in this video, I demonstrate a visual timer set for 3 seconds with a call to action to record a screen. I discuss the possibility of overwriting the timer duration in the code. Check it out for details on how to customize the timer!

Hi it semi depends on the runtime you're using. But the short answer is "no". Especially not if it's an animation timeline that is used within a state machine.

It'll be better to drive this logic entirely from code. So instead of having a 3 second timeline, you'd have a start and end timeline, and blend between those values, and use an input to control the progress.

You can then set the input from the runtime, for example a value between 0-100. Then the timer can be controlled through code at runtime.
