Class MarkerAction

Base class for a marker action. Inherit from this class to make an action that would react on selected markers after a menu click and/or a key shortcut.

Inheritance

public class SampleMarkerAction : MarkerAction
{
    public override ActionValidity Validate(IEnumerable<IMarker> markers)
    {
        return ActionValidity.Valid;
    }

public override bool Execute(IEnumerable<IMarker> items)
{
    Debug.Log("Test Action");
    return true;
}

[TimelineShortcut("SampleMarkerAction", KeyCode.L)]
