Cinematic Starting Problem

[kids711]

Hello.. I have a problem about starting a Cinematic.. I read all instructions Archian made on his BASIC CINEMATIC THREAD TUTORIAL!... I look at all the pictures and everything... And this is the Triggers

• Triggers
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All Players)
    • Cinematic - Turn on Letter Box (Hide Interface) for (All Players): fade out over 2.00 seconds
    • Cinematic - Disable User Control (For all Players)
    • Cinematic - Clear the screen of Text Msgs for (all Players)
    • Cinematic - Turn subtitle display override On
    • Camera - Apply Starting Cam <gen> for player 1 (red) over 0.00 seconds
    • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All Players) from marine 0003 <gen> named Dr.Volts:Play no sound and display Whoa... That time t.. modify duration:add 0.00 seconds and wait
    • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All Players) from no unit named Tester:Play no sound and display Test ended work... modify duration:add 0.00 seconds and wait
    • Cinematic - Enable user control for (all players)
    • Camera - Reset camera for Player 1 (red) to standard game-view over 0.00 seconds
    • Cinematic - turn cinematic mode off for (all players)

I have posted the trigger to make it easier to solve the problem..

You have to tell us the problem as well. What problem you're facing, is it related to the transmission problem or camera.

From what I seen from that trigger, it seem like you refer to transmission problem, that is because you did not set the time for it.

I copied Archian's Tutorial thingy..

My problem is.. When the loading is finished.. The Cinematic won't start.. I can still control my units bla bla bla..

--edit--

I put seconds in it and it won't still start

 

[Septimus]

Because everything happen right away and end right away.

From what I seen, everything was happen in a flash because you set it to 0.00 seconds without any wait or timer action.

Remove the reset camera for player 1 and turn cinematic off. Move this 2 action into other trigger or use wait function.

Kk.. Ill try until i got to my computer ... My bro's using it~

I also might suggest to learn how to use trigger tags as this is very messy and unorganized. But yes, as Septimus said, the problem is that you start and end everything at the same time.

Trigger tags?.. how?..

You need to put a space between the "-". For example you wrote "Cinematic- Enable user..." and you should have written "Cinematic - Enable user..."

Also you need to write the Events, Conditions and Actions at the top, even though you might not have conditions or events.

I put wait.. It won't still start~

 

[CMarket]

Hmm, only now do I see that me and Septimus were wrong. It doesn't all start at once. It activates the cinematic mode, displays the subtitles for 10 seconds and deactivates it.

Try just putting the part where it says:

• Trigger
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All Players)
    • Camera - Apply Starting Cam <gen> for player 1 (red) over 0.00 seconds
    • Cinematic -Send transmission to (All Players) from marine 0003 <gen> named Dr.Volts:Play no sound and display Whoa... That time t.. modify duration:add 0.00 seconds and wait

I though it was run via precise timing.

Is it just me, or does the trigger miss events?

You might want to read the whole thing before posting, LordDz. The answer is in the post above you.
