Mid-game Cinematics

[Hitemup27]

Hello everybody. I'm currently making a single player map with a campaign flow to it and I had some questions regarding cinamatics that appear throughout the game.

The dialogue and cinematics that are at the very start of the map all run off of the "Elapsed game time is X.XX seconds" trigger. This works just fine as long as I haven't give the player control over the game.

However, when I wanted to place a cinematic in mid-game, say when a Triggering Unit enters a region, I quickly realized I couldn't use the "Elapsed Game-Time" event as usual, since the user had now taken control of the game (and spent varying amounts of time moving from cutscene to cutscene).

I looked for ways to reset a new clock to set my new cutscenes after, but found none. I'm still trying to get dialogue between two characters to occur, but with no events to base my mid-game cinematic off of, I can't proceed with the cinematic.

Is there some "EVENT" that I'm missing that can help me here? (Perhaps resetting a new clock or somehow activating the triggers one after another?

Any help would be appreciated,

Why dont you just use the event:

Unit - A unit enters <Your region>

Just do what AddE said or if you want them to go off at a certain time just use Elapsed Game Time.
