02-19-2004, 01:21 PM

I just completed the the terrain on my first map and im going to do a movie in the begging of the map.

Its just ONE problem, after the movie it doesnt go back to "normal mode" and with normal mode i mean it doesnt go back to the mode were you can move the characters, its like when i click them nothing happens.

I really need help and if anyone could talk to me over MSN i could explain my problem better.

PLEASE help me... i really need your help.. :(

EDIT: Please help me :P

It would be helpful to see the beginning nad ending actions for this trigger -- you need to make sure you unset everything that you set for the movie's display.

Some possibilities are:
[Cinematic - Cinematic Mode] Turn cinematic mode (Off) for (All Players)
[Cinematic - Letterbox Mode Off] Turn off letterbox mode (show interface) for (All Players): fade in over (0.00) seconds.
[Cinematic - Enable User Control] Enable user control for (All Players)
[Unit - Pause/Unpause All Units] (Unpause) all units.

That'd defeat the whole purpose of the forums -- so others can learn from your problems. This way we need not repeat ourselves over and over again.

Now what do you mean by there is none? Are you using The Frozen Throne or Reign of Chaos?

Shimrra	The action, Cinematic Mode, allows you to select the option On and change it to off. You should also use Camera - Reset Game Camera so you won't have to play the game with odd camera angles.

ok, i finally got the movie to work :D
but heres my next problem:

How do you start an movie when a unit enter a zone, like when your hero enters a camp a cinemetic starts.

I tried with
*A Unit Enter region 0000 <gen>*
*Turn cinematic mode on*

(Its more but thats the most important part)

but the cinematic keeps coming when you start to play, not when you enter *Region 0000 <gen>*.

plz answer, and if you don't wana talk over MSN atleast i can send the map and you might be able to fix it ;)

Shimrra	Try putting a condition like, triggering unit is equal to <YourHero>. I'll look at the map if you want.

Code:

Run Cinematic
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Entering unit)) Equal to Blood Mage
    Actions

Replace "Region 000 <gen>" with whatever region you want them to enter, and replace "Blood Mage" with whatever type of unit your hero is. Alternately, you could use the condition

Code:

        (Entering unit) Equal to Blood Mage 0000 <gen>

instead of your hero is one that's placed on the map at the beginning of the game and remains the same unit up to the point of the cinematic -- or if you have several different hero units (multiple copies of the same one, that is) and want only a specific one of the several to be able to trigger it.

Shimrra	That's basically what I said...

RaeVanMorlock	Must you comment on everything? And you said to use Triggering Unit -- you should never use that; always be as specific as possible. Plus, I went into more detail on the hows and the whys. People can't learn from 5-word answers.

Vagabond	heh, easy fellas :P aye, i can send it to ya but if you could PM me your email for MSN? DAMN!! IT WORKED, omg your the best :D:D:D:D

Vagabond	hehe, just another thing, where do you change so that the player have to be Orc for example. I mean how do you change so the player cant choose what rase to play?

Vagabond	haha, I need help again :P The last quest on the Map im creating should be that you kill 3 ogres, but each time you kill an ogre you get the message "The Ogres has been slain" How do I create a trigger that will do so the quest doesn't complete until you've killed all (3) ogres? really need help now :bgrun:
