Closing shot without actually ending mission.

[Fiddi 68]

Hey, is it possible to establish a closing shot without actually ending the mission and continue afterwards instead?

Or is there an other way to get the closing shot effect? I think that it's a cool effect and would like to have it in my side missions.

If you look in the config viewer in game, you will find rscTitles. Using those and the commands cutRsc or titleRsc you can add all kinds of effects.

Okay, I'll do that, thanks. Always thought that a simple notification that a side mission was completed were a bit weak.

Look at the endMission function in the function viewer, you can see how the static effects are done.

I created this function, works perfectly. Fades perfectly in and fades perfectly out, while playing a little bit of music.

FRED_fnc_endSideGraphic = {
	/*

	Private ["_endGraphic"];
	_endGraphic = _this select 0;
	
	missionnamespace setvariable ["BIS_fnc_missionHandlers_end", _endGraphic];
	
	_layerInterlacing = "BIS_fnc_endMission_interlacing" call bis_fnc_rscLayer;
	_layerStatic = "BIS_fnc_endMission_static" call bis_fnc_rscLayer;
	_layerEnd = "BIS_fnc_endMission_end" call bis_fnc_rscLayer;
	_layerTiles = "BIS_layerEstShot" call BIS_fnc_rscLayer;
	
	{_x cuttext ["","PLAIN"]} foreach [_layerInterlacing,_layerStatic,_layerEnd,_layerTiles];
	playmusic "EventTrack01_F_Curator";
	2.5 fadesound 0;
	0 fademusic 2;
	
	_layerStatic cutrsc ["RscStatic","PLAIN"];
	
	Sleep 0.3;
	
	showhud false;
	_layerEnd cutrsc ["RscMissionEnd","PLAIN", 0.5];
	_layerInterlacing cutrsc ["RscInterlacing","PLAIN"];
	_layerTiles cutrsc ["RscEstablishingShot","PLAIN"];	
	
	Sleep 5;
	
	_layerStatic cutrsc ["RscStatic","PLAIN"];
	2.5 fadesound 1;
	
	Sleep 0.2;
	
	{_x cutFadeOut 1} foreach [_layerInterlacing,_layerStatic,_layerEnd];
	_layerTiles cutFadeOut 3;	
	showhud true;
	missionnamespace setvariable ["BIS_fnc_missionHandlers_end", ""];
};

Thanks for the help and advice!
