Can anybody explain me precisely how i can order a worker to build a structure/building for me while a cinematic is playing.

I made a tutorial cinematic, and i just did the whole cinematic in one action, should i maybe cut it down in a couple of actions ? Maybe the construction part SHOULD be apart from the rest ?


second of all, might be the same problem, but the sounds in inputted in that tutorial cinematic action, wouldn't play, might be because it has to be apart from the rest.

Can anybody verify this, or at least push me in the right direction ! :)

If you meant when a cinematic is playing where people are talking and you have no control to click anything, you aren't able to do that, however if you want some worker to build something by itself in a cinematic (without you literally ordering it to build) , you need to use "Unit - Issue Build Order"
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to build a Barracks at (Center of (Playable map area))

I did, but it's clearly not working :x, should i maybe make a different action for that ? and the sound effects ? i'll try that and see how it goes !

I tested the function myself and it works, make sure that the player has enough resources to build the structure or it might not work.
