11 September 2005 20:15 (UK time) Wouldn't it be neat if M2 supported having cutscenes? The code would be: SC_StartCutscene( camcoordsX, camcoordsY, lockplayer); SC_NewCamera( camcoordsX, camcoordsY); SC_EndCutscene(); camcoords would be the top-left hand corner of the screen, where you want to move the camera. lockplayer disables movement of the player. New cam would re-position the cam, and end cutscene resores player movement and camera. Between the cutscene scripts you could have conversation going on, etc. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

11 September 2005 23:25 (UK time) well, you can do this ... SC_SetObjectHidden(SC_GetPlayerObjectID(), 1); and relocate him to where ever you need a cut scene You need to login to create posts in this thread.

13 September 2005 17:05 (UK time) One problem. When hes hidden, and i move him, he can still move. Do i need a solid sector to place him on? You need to login to create posts in this thread.

13 September 2005 22:26 (UK time) First, make him an Aircraft object, so he can go over anything, or an object type that can go over anything. See if there is a way to make it so you can have the object get moved without speeding up as an aircraft (aka the Set Object Speed script line). Then, have it follow a waypoint, and OnWaypointReached, disable the "camera player" and unhide the player object where it last was. If i had any time i could probibly figure out a template script for it. You need to login to create posts in this thread.
