Cinematic not running-Black screen

RvP21 · Jan 23, 2021

Hello,

I've made a cinematic which has to run when an optional quest has been completed. I have divided the triggers over four triggers. The first two look this way:

When the quest is completed, the screen turns black, but not in cinematic mode. I can still see the minimap for example. Could someone tell me what i'm doing wrong (and why it is wrong)?

Thanks in advance!

Can you show the trigger that set true/false the variable "Cinematicskipped"?

EDIT: Wait hang, on, I'm looking over it again.

There isn't. In my map, there are two cinematics. The first one (the opening cinematic) makes use of the same sort of trigger. The first cinematic isn't having this kind of problem. The second has. Why is it important to have your suggestion?

Footman16 · Jan 25, 2021

Should you not in the last action run the trigger ignoring conditions since there aren't any?

That's the problem, because that variable remains true so in the trigger:

I guess i should do that. I'm not (yet) that experienced with triggering. Could it do any harm if it stays this way?

Thanks for the reply! It ain't clear to me how to solve this. Should I ad another trigger?

I think you must add to all the triggers that have cinematic in the top the action "Set Cinematicskipped = False".

If your map is a single player or a campaing you can use the function "Add to trigger queue" instead of "Run trigger", I'm not sure how its works, but the normal campaings use that function, I think if you use it the triggers you add will run in the order you add them, I mean the next trigger won't run until the previous trigger end to run, so you can use "Skip remaining actions" calmer, so that will be skipped and then run the next trigger (correct me if I'm wrong).

The thing that confuses is me is I can't see any action that would cause the screen to fade to black, since he's using a white mask. So I was trying to see what would cause the screen to turn to black and work backwards from that.

Thanks a lot for the advice (both of you). It is working. There are only two new problems showing up.
1. All the units have been removed from the map after the cinematic plays. I don't know why because they are unhided and i never gave the order to remove them.
2. If i decide to skip the cinematic while it is running, it leaves cinematic mode, but it keeps playing the dialog on screen.

Does anyone of you know what the problems could be?

1. The units are not actually removed, they are hidden. This is because you used this in "Cinematic SetUp2":

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Unit - Hide (Picked unit))

You have to unhide them again after the cinematic has finished:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Unit - Unhide (Picked unit))

2. If a cinematic has started, you should constantly check if it has been skipped, otherwise it will continue to execute its actions. Use this after every dialogue or important moment in cinematics to verify that it has not been skipped:

If (Cinematicskipped Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)

Thanks for the advice. Tomorrow, i'll look into it.

EDIT: The first point is fixed. Thanks a lot!
The second one doesn't however. The dialog keeps running and after the cinematic has been skipped strange building 'animations' appear. This hasn't happened before. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

Another EDIT: all problems are solved by now. To all of you who helped me: thanks a lot!
