Cutscene across multiple rooms

[Dervish]

In order to do a cutscene where the character exits the one room and goes into another and the cutscene continues I obviouly cannot do that in the room script. Is there an easy way to continue a cutscene into another room?

Thanks

If it's the first time the player is entering the new room (where the cutscene continues) you can use the 'First Time Player Enters Room' command, but if you have already entered that room you could use a variable, GlobalInt or if there is a character in the room which is only there for that cutscene you could use

Code: ags

if (cCharacter.Room == player.Room) {
  //play cutscene
}

in the 'Player Enters Room After Fade In'.

Or, if the character comes from a cutscene-only room, you can check for the value of player.PreviousRoom. It depends on the situation, really.

Yes.

There's this variable called game.is_cutscene_playing (or something like that) which indicates whether or not you're actually in a cutscene.

Alternatively, use global variables:
at the start of your cutscene, go SetGlobalInt (1, 1);
in the new room, check if (GetGlobalInt (1) == 1) then continue.
And at the end of the cutscene, SetGlobalInt (1, 0).
