Hello,
@Naelavok fixed a bug for his 8 player Human coop campaign (8-Player Co-op Campaign: The Scourge of Lordaeron (RoC Human)) which I've been trying to solve for my maps:

"
v1.04 changes:
  • Fixed an error that caused cinematic dialog to be cancelled when voting to skip
"

How did he do so players can vote to skip cutscenes but the dialogue (text and voices/sounds) doesn't get removed/muted for all when a player is spamming skip button (ESC)? I am looking for help to simplify the triggers and actions used to achieve this so anyone can add it to their map. I tried some of the variables and actions but I can't get it to work, perhaps I missed something vital.

Here is an intro cutscene from one of my maps:
  • Intro
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)
      • Cinematic - Fade in over 2.00 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
      • Sound - Play Comradeship <gen>
      • Player Group - Pick every player in Players and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Camera - Apply Camera1 <gen> for (Picked player) over 0.00 seconds

      • Unit - Order Arthas 0032 <gen> to Move To Point1
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point1)
      • Set VariableSet Point1 = (Center of IntroJaina1 <gen>)
      • Unit - Order Jaina 0033 <gen> to Move To Point1
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point1)
      • Wait 3.00 seconds
      • If (IntroCancelled Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)

At map initialization, I call two custom scripts:
  • Custom script: call TryInitCinematicBehaviorBJ()
  • Custom script: call DisableTrigger(bj_cineSceneBeingSkipped)
These prevent the dialogue from being cancelled when people press Escape.
