Title: Problem creating this cutscene
Post by: on Thu 28/04/2005 02:38:18
I've looked through the forum and have checked the tutorials and everything, but I couldn't find a solution.  I'm very sorry if it's there but I didn't see it.

I have been creating cut scenes and haven't had a problem till now.  I just can't seem to create this one:

Background: Newspaper (fine)
Some talking between two characters reading it (fine)
Now I want to create three drops of blood apearing on the newspaper separately - e.g. drop - drop - drop with about 30 seconds between each drop.

I know there is probably a simple solution to this, I just can't seem to get around it.  Can anyone help.

Have you created all the views for an animation for each blood drop? You would just call the appropriate animation to run at the certain time you want it... such as after a certain amount of game loops have passed

Wait(120); where 120 is a number referring to 4 game seconds. (Are you sure you want 30 seconds between each blood drop?!?)

Heh it's 3 seconds by default, the default game frame rate is 40FPS. :=

That's two corrections on me in a day by you. I'm waiting for the private message that just says for me to read the manual... or, telling me that I'm fired.

Ahhh it's so simple!Ã,  I should have worked that out myself.Ã,  It didn't even strike me to do it that way.

Thank you so muchÃ,  ;D
And for being nice about it ;)

You're right 30 seconds is a bit long, the main point though was the actual creation of the effect, which I now have.   :-*

Hehe, you know I have no control here? You can always correct your posts, delete mine and pretend that nothing happened. It's what you have power to do. :=
