How do you prevent a cinematic from being skipped? Is there even a way?

Mechmap · Jan 30, 2008

Now I don't know what you're talking about here. A cinematic should not be skipped unless you tell it to.

I want to make it so the cinematic CAN'T be skipped.

He told you so. The cinematic already cannot be skipped by default.

If someone hits escape the transmission is skipped.

Mechmap · Feb 1, 2008

So... the cinematic ain't skippid? I don't really know if there is a way to stop the transmission from being skipped.

There isn't a way.

Esc just automatically does that. Not even with JASS can you stop it. Unless you mess around with WE strings and everything, yet I still doubt you can change it.

Umm well I know I am a noob, but cinematics are meant to be able to be skipped. Because eg if you already watched it say on a friends computer and go on and play that mission at home, you don't need to see the cine again.

But if you're in a multi-player game. A single player can ruin an entire cinematic. This thread is searching for a way to stop that.

As far as I know, the only way to stop this from ruining it would be to kick that player. =(

Well u can make a trigger i think.When a player cliks Esc then kick the player i think that would work.

I'm not sure if this works but u could try to use the trigger cinematic-disable player control. I'm not sure if someone can still press escape and skip the cinematic but i know when I used it on my map and didn't put the enable user control trigger at the end of the cinematics trigger I couldn't even open the menu to end game i had to alt+F4 to quit wc. Well let me know if it works. :thumbs_up:

Yeah, JSmoke, I tried that before. Sadly, you can still press esc. D:

i dont think even you could skipp transmition from unit, it can always be skipped, and why would you even do multy-player cinematic, it is easier to do for two players or only for one

LordHunter · Mar 20, 2008

Why not make multiplayer cinematics? For rpg's tht's pretty cool like in FF Open Rpg

PurgeandFire · Mar 23, 2008

Are you sure pressing ESC will perform the action for all players?

Else, you can just run the cinematic for each player individually using the GetLocalPlayer() technique. Might desync though, so it isn't suggested.
