timeline_get_name

This function can be used to get the name of a time line as a string. if the time line has been created dynamically using the timeline_add() function, the name returned will have the format "__newtimelineN" where "N" is the number of the time line (starting from 0). Please note that this is only a string and cannot be used to reference the timeline directly - for that you would need the timeline index. You can, however, use this string to get the timeline index using the returned string along with the function asset_get_index().

Syntax:

timeline_get_name(ind);

Returns:

String

Example:

var _str = timeline_get_name(timeline_index);
show_debug_message("Current timeline = " + _str);

The above code get the name of the currently assigned timeline and output it to the console.
