...erm, hello?
1 week and 11 views
How do I make an intro (with ease), and how do I make it run when my island is on?
HELP!!! Dont leave me another week!

Make your Intro in the Mission Editor, but save it as Type Intro instead of User Mission.

So it would be Intro.island?
Anyway how would you be able to execute ur island intro through pbo? or can u not: the user has to place it in their missions folder, eh?

[Planck]

No.......you should end up with a folder called:

yourisland_anims

Inside this folder there should be another folder called:

intro.yourisland

Inside this folder will be your mission.sqm and any associated files that make your Intro work......for instance.....scripts.

The yourisland_anims folder goes in the Addons folder.

the island_anims doesnt go in your pbo?

[Planck]

No.......put it in your Addons folder, not in your addon PBO.

OK, it worked fine, chars planck!
oh and one last question can you get multiple intros to play randomly or am I going a bit too far?

[Planck]

I believe you can have more than one anim, but, I am not sure whether you need something extra to get them to be chosen randomly or whether the game chooses one itself automatically.

Anyway, I think if you make another intro you can put it in the same yourisland_anims folder along with the first one, just rename it to intro2.yourisland.

You will need to list the cutscenes in your island config.cpp though, like so:

cutscenes[] = {"..\addons\yourisland_anims\intro","..\addons\yourisland_anims\intro2"};
