Title: Ending an Intro
Post by: Xai on 20 Feb 2005, 22:09:46

Hi guys, first question for the board!

Basically, I've always loved editing OFP, however, I've only ever made missions for myself, mainly because until only recently I was running on a 56k. Because of this I never felt the need to include an intro, but now I'm making a short mission I'm going to put up here I thought it would be good! I've made the cutscene (I have a good knowledge of the powerful yet simple camera.sqs) and it's looking good, however, once the script finishes it obviously just goes back to the player in the intro (in my case hidden in nearby woods). What script or trigger is needed to tell the game that, once the cutscene.sqs script has finished, it has to go striaght onto the mission? :)

You end an intro the same way you end a mission. With a normal end trigger. The game automatically switches to the briefing after intro ending. No scripting needed.

i had a similar problem, fixed it with a trigger like you said, so now the briefing ends but goes straight into the mission without the briefing screen! Do i need to have a briefing written or is there something else i need to do?

Yeah, you need a briefing. Just un-pbo someone-else's mission and doctor theirs.

ya basically for ending the intro.  you should create a trigger within' your mission and name is something like:  missionEnd
and have the trigger be End #1
then on the Condition over

then within' the camera.sqs script or whatever after the _cam destory or whatever... put this::

over=true
