Title: 1st person view and zoom through binoculars
Post by: sgtBerghof on 11 Aug 2006, 05:46:50

Hello I am quite new and I searched all that I could and found some pretty interesting stuff but I didn't find the answer that I'm looking for.  I want for the mission to start with a completly black screen and fade in, in about 3 seconds, to a 1st person view through binoculars looking at a truck up on a hill and maybe zoom towards it a little.  I have problem though, I don't know anything.  I do know a little, I can make camera move around and focus on different things.  But could someone help me please with the fading and binocs?

Welcome to the forum!

titlecut ["","BLACK IN",3]

should do the trick.    Put it in the camera script at the start.  Can't remember about the binocs, it might be titleRsc.

have a look for the Cutrsc/Titlersc Tutorial by general barron in the editor's depot. i'm pretty certain that has the binocular stuff.

EDIT - okay, maybe not.

to activate binocs for a cutscene use

Code: [Select]

cutrsc ["binocular","PLAIN DOWN",0]
to get rid of them use

Code: [Select]

cutrsc ["default","PLAIN DOWN",0]

U forgot one thing. I recommend use this

Code: [Select]

ShowCinemaBorder false To disable black stripes. It looks much better  ;)
