How do you restore camera positions for players after a special cinematic???

Hey guys.
In my map I have this special cinematic event that takes place when a team's specific building is destroyed. It effects all players in the game, but after the cinematic event the camera pan stays on the location where the cinematic took place.
I jjjust want 2 know to make it so the Camera goes back to the location it was focused on before the cinematic took place.
Thanks so much.
 
Here's my own personal favorite:

Getting into cinematics mode:
Code: 
Actions
    Set CameraCurrent = (Target of current camera view)
    Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)
    Cinematic - Disable user control for (All players)
    Unit - Pause all units

Unpause all units that are supposed to do something...

Play cinematic...


Getting out of cinematics mode:
Code: 
Actions
    Cinematic - Fade out over 1.00 seconds using texture White Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
    Wait 1.00 seconds
    Camera - Reset camera smoothing factor
    Camera - Reset camera for Player 1 (Red) to standard game-view over 0.00 seconds
    Camera - Pan camera for Player 1 (Red) to CameraCurrent over 0.00 seconds
    Cinematic - Fade in over 1.00 seconds using texture White Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
    Wait 1.00 seconds
    Unit - Unpause all units
    Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode Off for (All players)
    Cinematic - Enable user control for (All players)


Note the "CameraCurrent", a variable of type "point", which takes care of the
"being in the wild at the end" part.

I admire your incredible efforts to help the members on this forum. I was disappointed when I saw that I had nothing to add to any topic you answered.

The color settings don't matter for the fade filter, since the color of "Black Mask" and "White Mask" fade filters caannot be adjusted. Also, a black mask should be applied instead of a white mask.
 
Says someone who has over ten times the message count I have... :)

And, I see you found something after all.


That said, I've yet to notice a difference between "white" and "black" for "fade out".
I guess it ignores those settings completely anyway.
It's simply fading out...

Anyway, the "mask" and the "color" are (I guess, but where's an Editor when you need one)
at their default from creating a new "fade in/out".

It would, however, seem somewhat more logical to specify "black" for fade out,
since black is, after all, what it will be at the end.

How do you Pause only certains units that are outside of a specific region, while not pausing units within a specified region?
 
I also do not understand what is being said pertaining to ending the cinematic and restoring the camera position for all players to its original location before the cinematic. I only need to know what trigger action restores camera postions to all players as it was before the cinematic began, everything is fine. Please help

    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.

    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know

    I recently had an experience with a waiter that really brought down @Varine's point about them being in sales. The first waiter just asked "anything else? deserts?" and when the table shook their head said "ok" and left. Then the other waiter came in and started going off describing the deserts and you could see the heads turning, and they finally got a bunch of deserts
  • jonas jonas:
    :p
  • jonas jonas:
    makes sense if you consider that the tip is basically a commission on sales
