Cutscenes.. Created 18 years ago2005-07-19 10:11:45 UTC by helious

Hi.. Im looking for at good newbie tut on making cutscenes..
I wan?t to make the screen totalt black, and then fade into the world, text appear on the screen, etc etc..

Hope anyone out there has a good tutorial

clicky

You will find those stuff it this example map!

I'm not sure if there is a tutorial,

but I believe that you can do this using simple entities, or try and be creative (Such as using a camera where the player is, and having a black wall slowly dissapear in front of it, then have the camera turned off and you are inside of the player view, then using a simple message for the text).

This site has a great entity guide for HL that was put together by Andy.

I suggest you check it out.

The fade is made by an env_fade
and the message with a game_text

Thanks. But i dont lknow how to use these thing. i have no idead how to make the map start with a cutscene, how to make NPCs trigger sounds, how to make any of those things..

i tjekked the example map. it didnt have a cutscene in the beginning. are there really no "Cutscene" tutorials anywhere? i saw a link here on TWHL to a Cutscene tutorial by Seventh Monkey, but the link was dead..

In the end after you will push the elevator's button a game_text will apear!

Hehe. Yeah.. But im trying to make a cutscene in the beginning of my map. Heck i dint even know how to control a camera, and stuff like that.. And yes, i read the entity list..

???? Trigger it with a trigger_auto! Just write the game_text's name's in the trigger_auto's target value and here you go!

???? Trigger it with a trigger_auto! Just write the game_text's name's in the trigger_auto's target value and here you go!

is it the same with cameras? cutscenes etc?

BTW.. When do what you say, nothing happens.. I chekked what i could find.. Noone has a cutscene tutorial? it cant be true.. :S ive seen cutscenes is so many maps..

You're thinking of my Cutscene Example Map, here.

The thing about cutscenes is that the entities used aren't perculiar to cutscenes. You use ordinary entities as you would elsewhere in a level. I remember finding it rather hard to get the hang of.

Gotta love pimpin' my own work...
