Hi all 

I know that this is possible - but i just can't find a working example of it..
When the mission starts, i want to black the screen, wait until all players have "loaded the world", and then play the intro. So that all players start the intro at the same time

The easiest way is to just have the admin of the server hold at the map screen till everyone's "blued up", then click Continue.

This does not solve the issue, even when all players manually have blued up, because of the difference in hardware - the world will never be loaded at the same time

Not sure how it works in MP, but the preload series of commands is used in SP at least to preload cutscenes and the like, thus minimizing lag and texture/lod popping. The commands used are camPreload and camPreloaded. So something like:

Code:

_camera camPreload 60;
waitUntil {camPreloaded _camera};

and it'll wait for a maximum of 60 seconds for the scene to preload for everyone (the scene prepared by _camera, I'd imagine, so just put that in front of the camCommit).

Wolfrug out.
