AI Timeline

At a glance

What the agent can do with it

Adds no MCP tools: it contributes an RQL module with the timeline source and adapters for TimelineAsset, TrackAsset, TimelineClip, Marker, PlayableDirector. That powers 5 capabilities the agent reaches through rql-query / rql-mutate. How RQL works →

• Create timelines

  Create TimelineAssets and signal assets, and list every timeline in the project with its tracks and duration.

  timeline | call Create("Assets/Cutscenes/Intro.playable", 30)
• Tracks

  Add Animation, Activation, Audio, Signal, Control or group tracks; list, mute, lock or delete them.

  unity.asset("Assets/Cutscenes/Intro.playable") | call AddTrack("Animation", "Hero")
• Clips & timing

  Add clips to tracks and set start, duration, clip-in, speed, blends and eases — or move them in time.

  unity.asset("Assets/Cutscenes/Intro.playable") | get tracks | where name == "Hero" | call AddClip(unity.asset("Assets/Anim/Walk.anim"), 2, 3, "Walk")
• Markers & signals

  Place markers and signal emitters on a track or on the timeline’s marker track.

  unity.asset("Assets/Cutscenes/Intro.playable") | call AddMarker(3.5)
• Play timelines in the scene

  Point a PlayableDirector at a timeline and bind each track to the scene object it animates.

  objects | get components | where $ is PlayableDirector | set playableAsset = unity.asset("Assets/Cutscenes/Intro.playable")

Install

Requires the base plugin com.ivanmurzak.unity.mcp. After installing, the RQL module loads with the package — the agent sees it in rql-schema.

When to ask the AI for it

Ask for cutscenes and sequences — a camera move timed to audio, an animated intro, a scripted event track.

Example prompts

Copy-pasteable first requests. Start with one, verify it in the editor, then build up.

1. Create a TimelineAsset called `Intro` with an Animation track bound to the `Camera`.

2. Add a 3-second clip to the animation track on `Intro` and place a marker at the end.
