How?

How do you create a basic cinematic

...there's not even an ANSWER to a question THAT vague. Check the Tutorial thread stuck up there for little tips etc, but to make a "basic" cinematic all you do is make a few cinematic and camera triggers. Work with the WE some and for God's sake never ask questions that vague again.

That's like asking FOX how to make a TV show.

I can tell: Go into the world-editor, create a map with terrain and unit, and go then into the trigger-editor. Delete ALL actions, and click NEW ACTION. Select Cinematic-Disable user control for (All players). Click again NEW ACTION and select Cinematic-Turn cinematic mode On for (All players). Then apply a camera, and then create the things happening in the cinematic. :D

depending on where you click, the action may come before or after what you want it to. I found this out the hard way, when i worked my cinematic's backwards. i can tell you right now, that is no fun what-so-ever.

and, when you say "apply a camera", what do you mean, exactly? Do you mean that i have to apply the camera like this:

(Apply) (camera object) for (player) over (#) seconds

Is that what you mean? If so, then how do i apply it to multiple players?

If you can get me these answers, i would be forever in your debt.:D

oh, btw. Hi everyone. As you might have seen, i just registered here, and i am glad to be here. It seems everyone helps each other, and i would like to be apart of a group like this.:D

EDIT: ok, stupid question answered. I just applyed a camera object, and it works fine. But i still have one problem: even with what grom told the other guy to do, i did the same, but my cinematic will not work. It does ido the disable player control, then it just stops. the camera will pan to where i want it to, but no cinematic.

I have the cinematic stuff in this order:

Diable user control for (all players).

turn cinematic mode (on) for (all players).

apply (opening camera) for (picked player) over (5.00) seconds.

pan camera for (picked player) to (target of opening camera) with height (350.00) above terrain over (5.00) seconds.

7 different: send transmission to (all players) from (king terenes) named (king terenes): play no sound and display ~~~. modify duration : set to (#) seconds and (don't wait).

Turn cinematic mode (off) for (all players).

enable user control for (all players).

if anyone knows what i did wrong, please tell me. I am new, so i may not know this stuff yet :-). Cut me a little slack here;). Im learning.

Thank you.
