<h1>timeline_add</h1>
<p>With this function you can add a new (empty) time line into your game. the function returns the index of this new time line which should be stored in a variable for use in all further function calls that involve this new time line. You should also be
sure to use the function <a href="timeline_delete.htm"><tt>timeline_delete()</tt></a> whenever you no longer wish to use the time line (like at the end of the room) so as to prevent any possible memory leaks that could slow
down or crash your game. To add moments to a timeline created in this way, see the function <span class="inline"><a href="timeline_moment_add_script.htm">timeline_moment_add_script()</a></span>.</p>
