Cinematics in SCII - how do they work?

[rastas301]

Hey guys, first off I'd just like to say that I'm pretty good with the WCIII editor but when it comes to SCII I'm still a learning nublet.

I know the basics, but I'd like to know how one goes about making an in-game cinematic in SCII editor - I notice it has a special palette but I poked around with that and it had VERY limited capabilities (move unit there, attack this, do that, etc.).

Are we meant to use this new palette or can we still make cinematics using the trigger palette as we did with WCIII? Or will I have to adapt to this strange new way of doing things?

Also, I noticed in SCII cinematics, there was no text to accompany the voices - does that mean I can't have anyone speak unless I get a voice actor?

Thanks in advance!

i think the cinematic window is for the cutscenes like you see in the campaign between missions with the high-poly models

Right well I wouldn't know the first thing about that so I'll assume we make cinematics in the trigger palette.

Thanks!
