need help w/ cutscene

[dalton]

yo, i need help w/ a cutscene. in my cutscene ur supposed 2 kill a civie (mp mission). so that means ne1 that is playing can activate it. so how would i do that to make the person that activated the cutscene be the 1 to shoot the civie?

[PaulRPG]

im not to sure if u can m8. But you could make it so if any1 who comes within the area to activate it. Mayby you can come up with a script that goes something like this (dunno the actual scripting)
if player is in area set identy XXX
something like that

Try this:

Create a trigger this size you want.
Activation: Anybody
On Activation: "_x DoFire Civie" ForEach Thislist

If memory serves, that should do it. I may be wrong, though.

shud i put that in the script?

[GrimMonkey]

Create a trigger the size that you want.
In the 'Activation' field of the trigger select: Anybody
In the 'On Activation' field of the trigger put: "_x DoFire Civie" ForEach Thislist

Name the civilian you want dead Civie.
Now, anyone should fire at the civilian when they enter the trigger.

or use an eventhandler in the civies init field


unit addeventhandler [{hit},{_this exec {Cutscene.sqs}}];

and follow with this

Cutscene.sqs

_unit = _this select 0
_shooter = _this select 1

? (side _shooter == side _unit) : exit

? (side _unit == civ) && (side _shooter == thesideyouwant) : goto "play scene"
? (side _unit == civ) && (side _shooter != theoneyouwant):EXIT

#playscene

The rest of your cutscene goes here.
