How to skip a cinematic ?

[purparisien]

Hello,
I've a map with a quite long intro. I know that could annoy people. That's why I was wondering if I can get a way to skip it. How can I do that with a dialogue system at the very beginning of the game ? Thank.

Just turn off the trigger of the cinematic with dialog.

you need 2 triggers with the same actions in it...

and you need a checker, a boolean...

in this case >>> SkipBoolean set it to false first...

and this is the Setup...

YOUR CINEMATIC

• Cin01
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)
    • Trigger - Turn on Skip01 <gen>
    • If (SkipBoolean Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from (Triggering unit) named TEST UNIT: Play No sound and display TESTING ME. Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
    • If (SkipBoolean Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from (Triggering unit) named TEST UNIT: Play No sound and display TESTING ME. Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
    • If (SkipBoolean Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from (Triggering unit) named TEST UNIT: Play No sound and display TESTING ME. Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
    • If (SkipBoolean Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from (Triggering unit) named TEST UNIT: Play No sound and display TESTING ME. Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
    • If (SkipBoolean Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from (Triggering unit) named TEST UNIT: Play No sound and display TESTING ME. Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
    • If (SkipBoolean Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from (Triggering unit) named TEST UNIT: Play No sound and display TESTING ME. Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
    • If (SkipBoolean Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from (Triggering unit) named TEST UNIT: Play No sound and display TESTING ME. Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
    • If (SkipBoolean Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from (Triggering unit) named TEST UNIT: Play No sound and display TESTING ME. Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • If (SkipBoolean Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode Off for (All players)

YOUR SKIPPED CINEMATIC

• Skip01
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Set SkipBoolean = True
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode Off for (All players)
    • Set SkipBoolean = False

when your cinematic starts, turn on your Skip01 trigger, Player1 will press ECS, it will disregard the actions in Cin01 coz the SkipBoolean variable is true, and creates 3 footman, at the center of the map automatically...

this is short, but this is the idea of skippable cinematics...
