massive cinematic trigger problem

[ellspeedy]

right basicly i have a cinematic that runs at the start of the map to give info on how the map works etc
this can be skipped by red if he presses escape
the cinematic stops and goes to normal view, and the text is cleared, and no more actions of the cinematic trigger occur. however one of the cinematic actions is to rotate the camera about a point, and if red presses esacpe during this point the camera will continue to rotate and once it has finished rotating it will prevent you from moving the screen around.
this is the trigger.... and yes i know its quite big... ( and probaly doesnt have to be lol)

so the basic question is how come the camera continues to rotate around player start point even though i have told the game to reset the game camera?
thanks in advance

Why don't you just make a new trigger

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Pan camera for Player 1 (Red) to (Where you want the cam))over 0.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off (your cinematic trigger)
    • Trigger - Remove (your cinematic trigger) from the trigger queue

hey, well that is a hell of a lot more simple and almost works fine, however if i do skip the cinematic everything seems to be back to normal (ie how u usually play the game) but when the camera is meant to move during the cinematic it still does it even if its been skipped :S

 

[Bronxernijn]

Just use the

• Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Camera - Stop the camera for (Picked player))

action before panning.

 

[ellspeedy]

nope it still didnt work =(
il try explaining again cos i think i explained poorly earlier
basicly during the cinematic the camera moves around to various locations to show the players where stuff is

firstly: it rotates around the start location and wait Z seconds
secondly: it pans to region X and wait Z seconds
thirdly: it pans to region Y and wait Z seconds
lastly: it pans back to start location
now if i skipped the cinematic at say the first camera action (rotating around start location) then it will stop, and Z seconds will pass but then it will pan to region X? like its following the cinematic still :S
heres the triggers i have:

• Startup cinematic

    • Map initialization

    • Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)

    • Wait 15.00 seconds
    • Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for (All players)
    • Camera - Pan camera for Player 1 (Red) to (Center of Red spawn point <gen>) over 2.00 seconds
    • Camera - Pan camera for Player 2 (Blue) to (Center of Blue spawn point <gen>) over 2.00 seconds
    • Camera - Pan camera for Player 3 (Teal) to (Center of Teal spawn point <gen>) over 2.00 seconds

One thing you could try is to remove the event Map Init and set elapsed game time is 1 second or so, Map init intend to run during loading screen maybe thats why you can't stop it really.

Anyway im not so familiar how you stop already running triggers etc im gonna give you another suggestion how to do this. Ask player 1 red if he want to show intro or not, If he types yes or dialog button yes is clicked run you cinematic trigger else run your setup triggers

i tried changed elapsed time to 1 sec but it didnt help, same problem happened.

i would prefer to have the cinematic auto run at start so im still lookng for a way to fix my problem =(
does anyone out there know what the problem is?!

Keep your 'SkipCinematic' boolean and put it in an if/then/else before each camera control checking if it is false. If it is false, continue with the camera controls. If it is true, Do nothing.

Then, in your cancel trigger, add the action 'set (skipcinematic) to true'

thx m8, i used that as a base and just tweeked it a lil to work and it does seem to now

• Cancel cinematic
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set skipcinematic = True

(plus all the other junk but i dont need to show that now)

and for the cinematic trigger:

• Startup cinematic
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.10 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (skipcinematic Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)
    • If (skipcinematic Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: |cffFFFF00Welcome t...
    • If (skipcinematic Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • If (skipcinematic Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
    • Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for (All players)

and then thats copy the if,then,else action between every line of coding and that seems to do the trick =D
thx guys!!!
