« on: 20 Dec 2004, 18:18:42 »
im very new to cutscene and the camera editing part and this is probaly a very easy question i have i cant seem to make cutscenes end it just fades out and stays in black. another question how can i get a camera follow a chopper it just seems to watch it fly into the distance and when i renew the cam it catches up with the chopper then watches it fly into the distance again ??

sometimes cutscenes wont end if the camera is still operating

try:

Code: [Select]
_camera cameraeffect ["terminate","back"]
in your last line of code

i also think there is a comm like "destroyCam" but you'll have to look that up in the CommRef.

I too am looking for the answer to your last question.

"_cam cameraeffect ["terminate", "back"]
titlecut [" ","BLACK OUT",2]
~2
camdestroy _cam

exit"

thats wat im using at the moment to end it but it just stays black i tried using a trigger with "end" on it but it comes up with a debriefing if i could get rid of that then that would be good enough?

OK, this problems very easy to solve.

To explain with more detail than an answer:

Basically, it looks like you have "cut" out of the cutscene and destroyed the camera.

The problem is, you need to "cut" back in (ie. to the game). I made the same mistake countless times when I was starting out as well.

The answer:

You need a

titlecut [" ","WHITE IN",2]

inbetween camDestroy _cam and exit

You can also "BLACK IN" - depending on your preference.

Then (a crap but easy way) do this:

Don't put in the line I said, put this in in it's place -

~2 //don't really need, just put it in for a lil delay or something

endlevel = true

Then, in the mission editor, put a trigger with the following "attributes":

Condition: endlevel

and set it as an "End 1" or "End" or whatever depending on what you've said your endings are in the briefing.

all it needs is one line of code
Code: [Select]
_cam cameraeffect ["terminate", "back"]
i would submit a fixed version of your mission but i dont have anything to zip the file, unless just replace your camera script with this one and to get a camera to be fixed on the heli, you need to create a loop useing game logics to setpos the position of the camera every split second but thats complicated stuff. Just look in the editors depot under cameras theres a few scripts there that can help you.

I havent tested the script yet but it should work.
