2017.1 Timelines: How do I trigger certain timelines to play/stop/smoothly transition based upon interactions?
I'm trying to use timeline to play an animation for an object, then when the player clicks on another object with their mouse it plays the timeline animation for that and also plays a closing animation for the first object as the camera moves away to the second object.
To simplify: 1. Scene starts with first camera active and objects standing still 2. User mouses over to select an object in view and the camera whips around (I'm using cinemachine's free look cam) to get a closer view of it while the object itself bounces/spins to meet the camera and spits out animated text which is used to describe the object. 3. User wants to click on another part/object so when they click anywhere outside of the first object it animates back to it's first position 4. The camera whips around to the next object where it's individual intro animation plays or it can go back to the starting camera angle to see everything (depending on what's clicked)
Forgive me if this is too basic, but I'm not very experienced in triggering animations and I was thinking the new timeline feature would be easier for me to wrap my head around than learning mechanim. I'm just not sure, can someone help me do this?
