Jass Cinematic System Help

[LordHunter]

Hi

I'm trying to use the Jass cinematic system http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=79555 but I never manage to actually get the cinematic start playing.

It only works if i use the trigger given as example with the pack, but if i make my own, i won't play.

Can anyone help?

Show me your trigger. It will help.

It is probably a misuse of some function. I think the implementation is just a portion of what to do.

Okay here is my trigger. This is juts a test, normally it should show me a blooodmage, then the camera should move to an illidan further away. Instead every thing is black, and i see a random area on the map

Here is my initialization trigger:

• Test Init
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 2.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call InitCinematicSystem()
    • Set cinS_camera[12] = Camera 039 <gen>
    • Set cinS_camera[13] = Camera 040 <gen>
    • Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)

And here is the trigger that should start after 2sec

function Trig_Test_Actions takes nothing returns nothing


  call WriteToScene(2)

  call ScriptCamera(0.0, 11, 1.0, 1)
  call ScriptCamera(0.0, 12, 5.0, 4)


endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Test takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Test = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Test, function Trig_Test_Actions)
endfunction

Make sure that you actually run the Trigger.

And also, why did you put as a parameter in ScriptCamera 11 for the first function and 12 in the second?

The arrays of your cinS_camera are 12 and 13. So it might crash from the invalid array. Also, I suggest setting your array sizes to the actual camera number to avoid confusion like this.

Well, other than that, I don't know. If you are going to use the "PlayScene" function, make sure the parameter is set to "2" in correspondance to "WriteToScene".

Maybe you also need to specify the time parameter. (First parameter for ScriptCamera) I'm really not sure what it does though. Oddly, I haven't studied this system much.

It still didn't work... i think i'm gonna give up on this system

Try to read the documentation. Or just experiment a little. If you want, I'll study the system, and submit a tutorial on it. Maybe later though. I have so much stuff planned for my spring break so I hardly can even reach my comp!

Good luck! xD
