_camera camSetTarget [99330.86,-5192.03,47336.04]
_camera camSetPos [11520.30,2249.96,0.86]
_camera camSetFOV 0.018
_camera camCommit 0
titlecut ["","BLACK OUT",6]
~5
titlecut ["Blah Blah ","plain down",1]
~3
titlecut ["Blah Blah","plain down",1]
~3
titlecut ["Blah Blah","plain down",1]
~3
titlecut ["Blah Blah","plain down",1]
@camCommitted _camera
~10

_camera cameraeffect ["terminate", "back"]
camdestroy _camera

exit

Wots frickin wrong wit it?

Thank you, gooner  ;D .

[ponq]

why not use "titletext" instead of titlecut?

[Gooner861]

Please tell me yor aving a laugh...... if ive just spent quite a while moaning bout why it doesnt work and its only cos of titletext im goin to scream.   ;D

[Gooner861]

Nah that didnt work either, it blacks out but then just flicks straight back to the last scene.

First of all, you don't need the @camcommitted there...
Actually there is not many situations you would need that, I have almost never used it...
And most definately you wont need the @camcommitted when you camera has camCommit 0...

The first titleCut is correct, it blacks out the screen...
After that use titleText...

titlecut ["","BLACK OUT",6]
~5
titleText ["Blah Blah ","plain down",1]
~3
titleText ["Blah Blah","plain down",1]
~3
titleText ["Blah Blah","plain down",1]
~3
titleText ["Blah Blah","plain down",1]
~10

If that doesn't work... well.. then it won't

lol, forgot to refresh the page... HateR_Kint said it all.

I tried to play a bit with it myself and titletext did work where titlecut failed.

This code worked for me:
(I did paste your code into my existing intro script)

Code: [Select]


;viewdistance laag zetten voor fps/lag.
SetViewDistance 500

;camera maken
_camera = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]
_camera cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]

I'm not sure why it differs, but maybe this helps.

The blackout effect does exactly what it says on the tin - it blacks out the screen.    When the command expires, in this case after 6 seconds, the effect ends.    You need to do something like this

titlecut [" ","BLACK out",6]
blah blah
~6
titlecut ["","BLACK IN",99999]

to keep the screen black.

Nope.

The 6 seconds means it takes 6 seconds for the screen to get black, it's the 'speed' of the fade to black...

I put titleCut ["","Black Out",6] in a missions init.sqs and the screen has been black now for 2 minutes...

[macguba]

You're lucky, it's never done that for me.   :'(

[Gooner861]

Problem solved macguba's things helped cheers  ;D . Thanks everyone for help.

Well this is the weirdest thing I've heard in a while...

I've used the black out stuff like this since the beginning (of OFP, not me ;D ) and it has always worked for me...
 

Well, that's just OFP apparently
