Hello, I’d like to do a basic rhythm game and my goal would be to put two markers between the note to have a margin for error. The problem is that I can’t get the markers in fmod studio. I tried FMOD.STUDIO\_EVENT\_CALLBACK\_TIMELINE\_MARKER, but it gives me the type(2048 or 0x00000800). How to get the markers in fmod and use them? Thanks for your future answer ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/2/2915a76c7b6fc83f033b04880cf6fb157794fae1.png) Louca ---

[`FMOD_STUDIO_EVENT_CALLBACK_TIMELINE_MARKER`](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.2&page=studio-api-eventinstance.html#fmod_studio_event_callback_timeline_marker) is called whenever the playback position passed a named timeline marker. You can check [`FMOD_STUDIO_TIMELINE_MARKER_PROPERTIES`](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.2&page=studio-api-eventinstance.html#fmod_studio_timeline_marker_properties) to find your markers’ names and positions. With this information and the position of the timeline playback position, you should have all the information you need. ---

Mmmmmhh, strange. I print FMOD\_STUDIO\_EVENT\_CALLBACK\_TIMELINE\_MARKER and as soon as I compile, it prints me 2048 to infinity. Is there a reason? ---

> [@Louca](#): > > I print FMOD\_STUDIO\_EVENT\_CALLBACK\_TIMELINE\_MARKER and as soon as I compile, it prints me 2048 to infinity. I’m not sure I understand. Why are you printing FMOD\_STUDIO\_EVENT\_CALLBACK\_TIMELINE\_MARKER? When you check [`FMOD_STUDIO_TIMELINE_MARKER_PROPERTIES`](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.2&page=studio-api-eventinstance.html#fmod_studio_timeline_marker_properties), do you get the name and position of the marker? ---

I’m sorry if I’m talking nonsense. I’ve been learning to use it since Friday, so I’m new. When I check with FMOD\_STUDIO\_TIMELINE\_MARKER\_PROPERTIES(with a print), it stays nil when you pass the marker. I guess I have to check otherwise, but how? ---

Are you able to post the code you’re using to get the timeline marker properties?
