Start all Timelines within a Group

Scripting is your friend - though there is no clean way in the LUA API to see what timelines exist, so you will need to cycle through a relevant large number to find them.

Create a startup script

groupA ={} --a matrix with all group A timelines

for i = 1, 20 do --for all timelines in your project
    if get_timeline(i) then --if a timeline with that number exists
        if get_timeline(i).group == "A" then --check if it belongs to group A
            groupA[#groupA+1] = i --add it's nubmer to the table
        end
    end
end

function StartA() --declares a function
    for i = 1, #groupA do --for all numbers in the group
        get_timeline(groupA[i]):start() --start the timeline
    end
end

and then as your action for the trigger needed  a script that runs the function

StartA() --runs the function StartA

Depending your project needs you might want to build a table for all groups, let me know if you need help with this.

Thank you!  I'm running a similar script.  I couldn't find a more slick version of this.  (A Module is what I had in mind.)

Again, thank you!!
