Title: Simple question: how to start into cutscene
Post by: stuh505 on Wed 05/05/2004 05:45:17
i have written my intro cutscene...but I'm a little confused how to make it start before I give the character control.  Currently it starts when they click the "eye" on a hotspot...but I WANT it to start as soon as the game starts.  How can I do this without putting an inefficient conditional//boolean state variable in the repeatedly execute loop?

So you start it on "Look at hotspot" interaction. Simply make it start on room's "On player enters screen (after fade-in)" one.

No, no. RoomEditor > Settings > then click on"i"-labeled button, "i" is after "interactions"

p.s. Welcome to the forums :)
