Cutsence

[TheMakaan 12]

Hello, Doing a mission, and trying to get the intro cut scene into the mission I've done the camera.sqs stuff and copied all the angles in a file, all I need to know now, is how to put it so when I launch my mission the cut scene will play first?

What you do next depends on how you are designing your mission. Do you want the intro cutscene to play before or after the mission briefing?

Yeah I want it to be after the Mission Briefing

This is what my intro scripts look like.

_camera="Camera" camCreate [0,0,0]
_camera cameraEffect ["INTERNAL","BACK"]
showCinemaBorder false

;=== 0:48:57
_camera camPrepareTarget [107074.45,18349.29,-22153.35]
_camera camPreparePos [9735.07,11479.69,10.57]
_camera camPrepareFOV 0.700
_camera camCommitPrepared 0

;Wait until screen can show something

Yeah I have something like that too, Just how do I make it work, I'm not trying to make fancy videos for youtube trying to make little intro for a mission, but when I play my mission off at the moment it just goes straight to the mission doesn't play the intro ?

Are you actually executing the script?

For a .sqs script like Celery just wrote, you'll have to name the script file somethingorother.sqs and then execute the following code somehow (see other thread):

[] exec "somethingorother.sqs"

[celery 8]

You have to go to the mission folder and create intro.sqs and init.sqs. In init.sqs write [] exec "intro.sqs"

Erm thought I got it.. the Camera Moves around like it should but all the units and stuff I made for the intro are no where to be seen ? am I missing something ?

If you want the intro to happen after the briefing, the intro section of the mission is useless. Use the main mission.

Ok I think I get you, but in the Mission part after the intro has played anyway to get rid of the units that were in the cut-scene, I dont want them running around blowing my butt off ?

ArmA2 should delete the intro units automatically.
