Paths that draw over time

A journey, a campaign march, or an expanding trade route can draw itself as history unfolds. Tag a path’s events with how far along the route they reveal, and the time slider extends the line leg-by-leg.

  1. Click the path to open its tool panel.
  2. In Linked timeline events, click Add timeline event and pick the event for this leg.
  3. Set Reveals up to point to the waypoint index the route should reach after that event (0 is the first point).
  4. Add an event for each leg. The chip shows the reveal extent, e.g. → 2/5.
  • Before the first reveal event, the path is hidden entirely.
  • After each event, the path is drawn from the start up to that event’s waypoint.
  • Once the last event is reached, the whole path is drawn.

A path with no reveal points behaves like any other feature — it simply appears when its first linked event happens.
