Need Help With Cinematic Stopping Problem

[death_knight]

Hey guys,

Here's my cinematic:

Bandits

                            Else - Actions
            Else - Actions

My problem is that after the first transmission which is from Villager (Male) 0041 <gen> is that the cinematic seems to stop. The second transmission from the player's unit doesn't happen and nothing seems to happen.

Any ideas?

Cheers

 

[tommerbob]

I think it's because you're telling it to Wait. You don't specify a time, so its indefinite. I think you need to use "Don't wait".

 

[death_knight]

Just tried that. Same thing happened.

 

[Whoareyou.]

Can you break the trigger into 2?

 

[death_knight]

You probably could. But where and why?

 

[Whoareyou.]

Idk, but I see no problem in the trigger. But its not too long either. So -.- thats just my idea

 

[death_knight]

kk I'll give it a shot

 

[Whoareyou.]

If it doesn't work, don't blame me GL.

 

[death_knight]

I didnt work (and I'm not blaming you ) Got any other ideas?

 

[Whoareyou.]

Well, does it have to be cinematic? Why not just Game - Display to all Players Text?

 

[Sajin]

add a sound effect que in there (this wont fix it but it will help you find the problem) and put it below the last working line in your trigger, if it still plays the sound then go back into the editor and move the sound que down one line. then find out what line it stops at and then double/triple check it thats all I can really say :\ I dont really see anything wrong with the code itself

 

[xPass]

Lol, I have the same problem as you, but mine totally don't work at all, not even the 1st camera... I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong. So if I find out sooner or later, I'll inform you. If you find out 1st, inform me

 

[skyblader]

I'm guessing the wait doesn't work in loops. Waits just don't work in loops. Try doing something like moving all the actions out of the loop, but under else, add an action "Skip remaining actions". This way if the unit is in range, it will continue but if it's not in range, the remaining actions will be skipped.

Do you mean the transmission wait or wait for game-time?

 

[skyblader]

There is a wait for a game-time? But anyway, as long as there is any wait within a loop, I guess it's a big no no. (Unless it's an event)

 

[xPass]

No, I meant the normal wait, not cinematic wait.

Skyblader. Thankyou. What I did was this:

So I basically removed the actual cinematic itself from the loops so that the Wait functions actually work. This fixed the problem I had.

xPass, I hope that will help you to solve your problem. If not, post your trigger(s) and I'll see what I can come up with.

Sajin, Thanks for the suggestion.

Well what you could do is do what I did and move every action in Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions) and move it to a completely new trigger, and then under Loop - Actions, put "Trigger - Turn Off (This Trigger)" and then "Trigger - Run <Trigger Name> <gen> (checking conditions)"

@xPass I just mentioned any waits wouldn't work in loops.. Just use whatever method you have, or as suggested by me or death knight to bring the actions out of the loop and it should work.
