Timeline Problem

Does anyone know why this timeline event does not trigger when I use the array that is commented out? It triggers if I specify the timeline id as shown but not if I use the array. Thanks.

    Off hand, I'd say the TIMELINE_EVENT doesn't handle arrays. The documentation is not real clear on what events do and what do not, but it doesn't surprise me in this case; timelines were always a bit different than other event types.

    It may have to do with how you're defining the constant. Instead of LONG Camera_Sequence_TL[], try using LONG Camera_Sequence_TL[20] to specify the length of the array.

    I can confirm that TIMELINE arrays do not work at this time.

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I need to hard code the id.
