        Hello,

        The “Send Message” action clip of Events Track only works in play mode.
        If you really want the SendMessage to work in edit mode, although I don’t recommend doing it, let me know and I can add an option for that.
        Thanks.

          reason i wanted in edit mode was because im not making a cutscene for a game, im making a cartoon which ill record into MP4 later.
          More specifically, im trying to make a sprite move along a path AND bop up and down a little like in South Park.
          I know Slate has Action to move along a path, and at same time i wanted to call function in script to make sprite bop up and down.
          But maybe i can make a simple custom action to do that instead of having it in a script, so its ok i don’t need that feature for now thanks!

            Thanks for letting me know of the use case.
            It’s nice to know that you are making a non-game animation with Slate 🙂
            If you need any help, or have any questions/suggestions, just let me know.
            Thanks!
