acidcrash 0 Posted June 23, 2002 hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me any help here: at the start of the mission, i want it to start as a black screen and fade out slowly. Reason: I am in a helo and need it to get upto speed, also for a brief message to be displayed (ie the white text, centered on the screen). So far all i have been able to do is make it fade to black then fade back, but not immediatly... anyone got any suggestions? thanks **Acidcrash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowflake 0 Posted June 23, 2002 hi acid, the fadeout thing: TitleCut [" ","BLACK IN",1] enter higher numbers than 1 to lengthen the fade-effect the brief message: titletext ["enter your message here","PLAIN",4] hope i could provide some help greetz Thomas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowflake 0 Posted June 24, 2002 hi Acidcrash, yes that's part of a script, normally called "intro.sqs". ;intro.sqs TitleCut [" ","BLACK IN",1] ;play with the number to get a nice fade _camera = "camera" CamCreate  [x,y,z] ;x,y,z are the coordinates where the cam stands _camera camSetTarget nameofhelo ;target is your helo _camera cameraEffect ["internal","back"] _camera camSetFOV 0.700 _camera camCommit 1 @camCommitted _camera TitleCut [" ","BLACK OUT",4] player cameraEffect ["terminate","top"] titletext ["your text","PLAIN",2] ;enter your text camDestroy _camera exit ;end of script ok that's a short script which just shows your helo just enter the coordinates greetz Thomas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Death 0 Posted June 24, 2002 Acidcrash: just create a file, called: init.sqs in the folder, where your misssion.sqm is located. The init.sqs will be executed automatically by the game, before it starts the mission. Use the titlecut there, but change the delay from 1 to 5 TitleCut [" ","BLACK IN",5] Nothing else' required in this file. This is just the fade in from black, not the message, but the message you can do with a trigger. ~S~ CD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
