Intros not possible in mp?

[Mohamz 0]

Is it possible in MP to have intros ?

I mean the cutscenes not the in-game scenes.

I made a mission, when exporting it to single player the intro plays but playing it in multiplayer I don't get the cutscene

Why is this?

And more important is there a solution, how to do it?

Thanks

It's not possible.

If you are referring to an intro.sqs file to be played at the beginning of a multiplayer game - it is possible. You create it much like you would do with any intro.sqs file and then activate that file in the init.sqs file ([] exec "intro.sqs"). I have seen intro movies work in MP game (beyond my own) - so I know it is possible. If you are using the in-game editor to make your movies, I am not so sure... I only make movies in the .sqs file.

Yes! thats what I was talking about, movies from the .sqs file not the in-game scenes.

I prefer them because one can use "esc" to end them, for me it's essential in MP, since MP games are restarted very often in my squad and we don't want to see the intro 1000 times.

So it's possible, will try that...

Thanks a lot!!!

lots of missions have cutscenes in MP. It just tajkes some triggers and a lil scripting.

Making cutscenes in MP is kind of the same, no matter if you do it with triggers or in a sqs-file, isn't it? sqs-cutscenes can be more complicated, of course. But otherwise there is no differences. Or is there?
