Even great movies get old

Howdy, been a while since I played WC3 since my old PC crapped all over the floor. My new PC eats children. Anyways back to mapping to pass the time, ne thing I would like to learn is if its possible to stop a movie in-game. I would like to maybe have a mini voting sytem where if more than 50% of the players press ESC then the movie stops. Another odd problem is I am unable to connect to Battle.net, says my CD key is invalid and then stuff about modems. I installed the latest patch, and my CD key should be valid (although i did use it on my old PC). Anyways to change the CD key without reinstalling? Or maybe there is a better solution? Maybe i shoulda posted half of this elsewhere, but this is where the real smart gamers dwell

well reinstalling always does wonders for everything so thats waht i would suggest first. and enter it exactly as its written maybe you entered another CD key without even knowing it. As for the cinmatic part i dont know much about that and i dont really use hotkeys for stuff

What you do is the following:
  1. Create an integer variable "Skip_Votes"
  2. Create a boolean variable called "Cinimatic_Playing"
  3. Now, create the following trigger:
    Code:
    EVENTS:
      (Player 1 - Red) skips a cinimatic
      ... [Repeat For All Players]
    CONDITIONS:
      (Cinimatic_Playing) is equal to (true)
    ACTIONS:
      set Skip_Votes = Skip_Votes + 1
      if/then/else (Multiple Actions)
      CONDITIONS:
        (Skip_Votes) Greater Than Or Equal To ((Count Players in (Players controled by a (Human)) / 2)
      ACTIONS
        set Cinimatic_Playing = false
        Turn Off (<Cinimatic Trigger>)
