eisa01 0 Posted October 27, 2002 some time ago i played this multiplayer map where in the intro video the soldiers saluted and the name was shown under. I want to make a cutscene like that. As this is my  first mission ever i need some help with the scripting (i guess i need a script for this). IF YOU HELP ME I'LL GIVE YOU CREDIT IN THE BRIEFING! I want it to show the names off the players, but they wont salute they will just sit around a fire and i want it to be some text before the names begin to appear. tha camera must turn so it points at the soldier being presented. SO PLEASE HELP ME! THANK YOU! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruskiesrule 0 Posted October 28, 2002 i think its somthing like, unitname playmove "effectstandsalute" or unitname playmove effectstandsalute you can also replace playmove with switchmove, i think its for a different situation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir stats worthy 0 Posted October 28, 2002 I half know the answer but i can't be bothered to explain. Look at Operation Flashpoint Editing Centre. Does this help my man? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eisa01 0 Posted October 28, 2002 yeah i know about that but im too lazy to learn about scripting now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir stats worthy 0 Posted October 28, 2002 How good are you at mission editing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eisa01 0 Posted October 28, 2002 its for my first mission, the thing is not very important so i guess ill have to make it without it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir stats worthy 0 Posted October 28, 2002 Yeah. Could i get your permission to send you PM's so we could chat to eachother if we need help? That would be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 1 Posted October 28, 2002 eisa, What you want to do is not hard at all, the map you speak of could very well be one that i made myself. But, you will need to know how to make a scripted cutscene before you can have the players name show up in a caption. I could help you out if you want but you really should get some basic scripting and editing tutorials (they are very user friendly) from www.ofpec.com and mess around with it first.

eisa01 0 Posted October 28, 2002 yeah ive read some of em but ill guess ill just have to read em all if i wantmy cutscene and sir stats u hve my permission (do u really need that on thse forums?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 1 Posted October 28, 2002 What i mean is that i have plenty of intro scripts that you could very easily adapt but, without the most basic understanding of how scripts work when you edit it won't make any sense to you. There is one tutorial that walks you step by step through a very basic mission. Do that and i guarantee, you will be well on your way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
