Help with effect
« on: 15 Oct 2003, 20:06:40 »
Okay, let's start the basics = I'am noob in a cutscene scripting  :P
I need help with this:
1) Can I make a "around slow" effect with scripting? Is that used by "cameraeffect" -code?
2) Can I script with "titletext" -code text's to the screen while cutscne is rolling?

And sorry for my bad english, I'm a finn.
Thnx for already ;) who ever will answer (if will)

1.  You can do anything you like with the camera.     Read snYpir's cutscene tutorial, and then read messiah's camera.sqs tutorial.     Once you've figured it out (which doesn't take long) it's VERY easy.     Don't use the camera options in the triggers - scripting is actually easier and gives better results.

2. Yes, you can have titletext during a cutscene.   snYpir's tute tells you how to do it I think.


PS - your English is just fine.   :)

The titletext is:

titletext ["Any text you want","PLAIN DOWN",1]

If you use custom Rsc's defined in the description.ext and use titletext the same time the other one wont show up. I've found a solution to this by using titlecut instead of titletext. The syntax is the same for both. This way the Rsc and text will show up the same time. PLAIN DOWN can be replaced with PLAIN which makes the text apper in the middle of the screen. PLAIN DOWN makes it appear at the bottom. 1 is the time which the text takes to fade to it's "full visibility".
titlecut can also be used with fades.

titlecut ["text to be shown during fade","BLACK OUT",4]

BLACK OUT will make the screen go black and BLACK IN will make the screen fade back so that you can see. 4 is the time (in seconds) it takes until the screen is fully black/faded back. ;)
Hope this helps!
For the camera stuff, see the tutes Macca said in his post. They can be found in the editors depot on this site. :)
