Cutscenes

[Tyger]

:-\
When I try to switch targets on a cutscene, the computer won't switch. Does anyone know why?

The script _cam camsettarget UNITNAME doesn't work.

Please help!

The _cam camsettarget doesn't commit changes. You'll need theese lines in order to do it.

_cam setcampos xxx
_cam camsettarget xxx
_cam camsetfov 0.7
_cam camcommit YourTime

Does it work now?

Hi
Here, try this...

All you got to do is change the 'fade in' text to whatever you want and TARGET 1 and TARGET 2 to your units names.

You can copy 'n' paste the whole thing straight to notepad, call it whatever.sqs, whack it in the mission file and away you go!!


;----------------------------------------------------------------------
;Fades in with text where 4 is length of black in time
titlecut ["YOUR TEXT HERE", "black in", 4]

;Creates the cam, leave these co-ordinates as they are
_cam = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]
_cam cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]

 
;Cam target 1
_cam camsettarget TARGET 1


;Cam position, set the pos using x, y, z co-ordinates
_cam camsetrelpos [ 1, 3, 1.7]

;Length of time to get to target 1, 0 will start on target straight away
_cam camcommit 0


;Length of time on target 1
@camcommitted _cam
~10


;--Cam 2--

;Cam target 2
_cam camsettarget TARGET 2

;Cam 2 position
_cam camsetrelpos [ 1, 3, 1.7]

;Length of time to get from target 1 to target 2
_cam camcommit 4


;Length of time on target 2
@camcommitted _cam
 ~10

;Destroys the cam
_cam cameraeffect ["terminate", "back"]
camdestroy _cam
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------


All you do now is set your trigger to activate the cutscene script with [] exec "whatever.sqs" in the 'On activation' field.

You can also add more targets, just delete the part that destroys the cam, copy and paste --Cam 2-- and adjust accordingly, not forgetting to replace the cam destroy part at the end of course!

Happy editing! ;D
