Cinematics

[Arcane]

I'm gonna make a cinematic for my rpg beginning but I have absolutely no idea how to, yes I have read the cinematics thingy on the website. What I can't do is actually making the cinematics, how can I make all the units disappear after the cinematics? Use a timer or timed life? And, can you close up or something? Maybe it's just because I'm a newb at making cinematics or because it actually is that way. I think this is gonna be pretty complicated.

Well anyways, this is what I want my cinematic to be like. Just an idea.

Scene: Prophet is in a room with a runner.

Prophet: The Dark is Rising.

Scene: Jump to: a town where infernos are landing and destroying the town.

Prophet: I can feel it.

Scene Jump to: another town where skeleton hordes are destroying yet another city.

Prophet: Call upon the heros, the storm is coming.

Scene: Runner leaves.

Prophet: The storm...is coming.

Scene: Room's door bursts open and a dark rider, followed by a large number of skeletons comes in. Camera: closes up on dark rider's face. Fade out.

Here ya go...

Here's how I do my Cinematics.

To get Cinematic mode started...
First Create a Camera!!

EVENTS:
Map Initialization
CONDITIONS: None
ACTIONS:
Cinematic - Turn Cinematic mode on for all players
Cinematic - Turn Letterbox mode on (hide interface) for All Players fade out over 2.00seconds
Camera - Apply (your cam) for Player 1 Red etc.

Well thats how I get it started.

Here's how to make someone talk:

Cinematic - Send Transmission to (all players) from *your unit here* Named *your name* Play No Sound and Display *your message* Set to *#seconds* and wait.

Just keep doing that over and over till you got what you want and changing the values every time.

To make A Unit Walk Somewhere.
Create A Region(s)!

Unit - Order *unit* <gen> to move to Centre of *your region*.

Well thats the basics and should get you started.
Hope that helped, cheers,
