Intro Skip

[bloodxgusher 10]

So I am working on a mission that plays a video once the player enters mission.

Its a 15 sec video but i want to give familiar players the option to skip the video once it starts playing

he is the code I have assembled to try and get this done.

//sleep 1;


//1.10 cutText ["", "BLACK OUT"];


_video = ["test.ogv", true];


scriptName "initMission.hpp: mission start";
["test.ogv", true] spawn BIS_fnc_titlecard;	
if (BIS_fnc_titlecard_finished) then {terminate _video};
waitUntil {!(isNil "BIS_fnc_titlecard_finished")};



//_video = ["test.ogv", -1, -1, 3.1, 3.1] spawn bis_fnc_playVideo;


//waitUntil {scriptDone _video}; 


sleep 1; 


1.10 cutText ["", "BLACK IN"];


//hint "video over";  


sleep 15;

The current issue I have with this is that the video stops but audio from the video still runs its course.

I tried to use the terminate command to stop the entire script but I am not sure if it is firing or if that would even stop the audio.

If someone could look at this and help me out would be much appreciated.

thanks.

personally I would make a parameter out of it.

in Description.ext:

class Params
{
class PLAYINTO
{
	title = "Play Into";
	values[] = {0,1};
	texts[] = {"No","Yes"};
	default = 1;
};
}

then in init.sqf:

//Saves all params into vars with the same name.
for "_i" from (0) to ((count paramsArray) - 1) do
{
missionNamespace setVariable [configName ((missionConfigFile/"Params") select _i),paramsArray select _i];
};

And then do a if loop where you call the intro:

if(PLAYINTO == 1) then
{
 //play into
};

Alternativly you could assign a key for the skip action. This is a bit more advanced tho.

35 is a keycode (for the key H: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DIK_KeyCodes). You will need to convert those hex codes into decimal (atleast when I tested it the hex values didn't work for me).

http://www.statman.info/conversions/hexadecimal.html.

init.sqf (I did not test this).

//Waits till the main display is initialized.
waitUntil {!(isNull (findDisplay 46))};

INTRO_SKIP_HANDLER = (finddisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["keydown", "
  if ((_this select 1) == 35) then {
       terminate INTRO_HANLDE;
       (finddisplay 46) displayRemoveEventHandler [""keydown"", INTRO_SKIP_HANDLER];
  };
"];

INTRO_HANLDE = ["test.ogv", true] spawn BIS_fnc_titlecard;

"];

INTRO_HANLDE = ["test.ogv", true] spawn BIS_fnc_titlecard;

Interesting. I will check these out and report back.

Thank you.

fixed a type in my post

(finddisplay 46) displayRemoveEventHandler [""keydown"", INTRO_SKIP_HANDLER];

"keydown" was with single double quotes but it needed double double quotes because it's in a string.

any update on this did these work for the player to skip the intro i am looking into a similar situation i am in i would rather have the user to skip rather than the server admin turn it off
