making a custom text appear during a cinematic

[LordHunter]

hello

I apologize in advace if this is the wrong forum, i really don't now where this would belong.

Is there any way, that during a cinematic i make this screen (see attachement below) appear for x seconds?

If so can anyone explain me how to do this? Or alternatively, tell me which forum i could get the most help concerning this?

Its a filter I believe oh and BTW Lord, Could you do me a favor? I need a SMALL cine to be done and Ill do your voice work.

Is it a filter? Or is it a custom text?

If it is a filter, just apply it over X seconds and then fade in over X seconds.

Ezikielth, yeah sure i can do a small cine, i still need to hear your voice before, i'll Pm you.

But i don't understand what do you mean by is it a filter? I don't know how to get this in war3 yet, so atm it' nothing. Should I use war3 importer to import it in my map, and then use as custom text? Does that work? Or how exactly should i do this?

 

[Ezikielth]

Ok Import it, Then make a trigger and as an action go Cinematic>Filter

 

[LordHunter]

Hmm, i have problem.

The image is a JPG, i use the warcraft III Viewer to convert it as a .blp
But then once imported should i use a custom path? the normal path makes the game crash. (i also tried some random custom paths, for the same result)

Alright i need help just making the faces and text appear on the bottom, make the unit move somewhere with the camera following him + and starting the cinematic. Plz help if possible.

Welcome to the hive Jojoman.

Next time, try to post it in a new topic.

Try to view some of the stickied threads for help. For the transmissions, (text + faces) you must do this:

Cinematic - Send Transmission ...

Just fill in the proper parameters. And to have a camera follow a unit, you must create a repeating timer and continuously lock the camera to the unit. Or you can just create another camera, and apply it so that it travels to the unit's distance and moves at the same speed of the unit.

Um... This might be a bit confusing. Read the stickied tutorials and look at the links.

Hey jojoman welcome

Oh btw to start a cinematic, use the trigger

• cinematic mode on

and the same one at the end but with cinematic mode off.

hope that helped

 

[jojoman55]

Ok guys thanks so much for the help and i'll try those triggers next time I work!

 

[jojoman55]

Oh I almost forgot this but it wouldn't let me post new thread....

 

[LordHunter]

That's strange it should let you. There's a small time limit between posting new threads though. Just wait a few seconds and you can make new threads again ^^

 

[jojoman55]
