Movies

Can you get Warcraft to play small movies inside of itself?

what do you mean?

Like play movies in maps? No, thats not possible till scII will be done

Well, you can and you can't. If you place a .avi movie with the last bit changed to .mpq in your warcrafts movies folder you can play it like this:

call PlayCinematic("Your_Movie_name_here")

It will play when you finish the map (I'm pretty sure you have to win), but it isn't any good becuase the movie has to be local not part of your map.

Oh really? Dang. Well, then could you help me with something else then? In my map i made it so that it looks like there is no ground, and it is just black, all the models seem to be very shadowy, and the same with their picture in the lower left. It all works out great, but there are some parts where i need the light, and some parts where i don't. And if you navigate your camera into the top right corner the shadows will go away, and never come back for the rest of the map. Is there a trigger that can do this for me? I'd post a picture, but i am unsure how; I have one on my computer if you need it.

That would be helpful, I don't get what your problem is really.
Just attach it to your post.

It asks for a internet address, i don't get that.

When your writing a post scroll down to "Additional Options" and then hit the "Manage Attachments" button.

Or, while your writing a post hit the paper clip button. (Its next to Undo)

Okay heres the picture

If you have any idea how i can make it happen again would be nice. I'll give you the map two if it helps.

From the image it looks like a fade filter. Use fog in the weather settings, or with a trigger, search for text fog.

Uhh..It didn't work. If you look in the map i gave you, in the upper right hand corner. (You must be in world editor to see this.) I have placed a 'Underground Dome' When you are playing the game and your camera enters the dome, then you can see everything again. (Note this is done without any triggers.) I've tried placing a dome outside of map visibility boundaries, but i didn't get the same results.

Here is a look at a fog filter. You just go to Scenerio-->Map Options-->Fog filter. Zstart: 0 Zend: 2000. You can remove it with a weather trigger.
