Image Cutscene

[TPM_Aus 137]

Hey all,

 

I need some help with creating a trigger which produces an image on the players screen for a few seconds and plays some sound affects.  Trying to produce a hallucination or flashback affect. 

What I think needs to happen is have in the trigger (on activation) null = [] execVM "images\flashback.sqf"; playmusic "example1";  or playsound "example1";

But I am not sure what to put in the flashback.sqf to make the image display.  I am new to scripting so any help would be awesome.

Peace

So Commy2 on the Arma 3 discord channel helped me out.

------------------Solved---------------------
Trigger (on activation) null = [] execVM "images\flashback.sqf";

Flashback.sqf (as below)
 

"commy_hallucination" cutRsc ["RscTitleDisplayEmpty", "PLAIN", 0, false];
private _display = uiNamespace getVariable "RscTitleDisplayEmpty";

// kill duplicate vignette
private _vignette = _display displayCtrl 1202;
_vignette ctrlShow false;

// texture control
private _control = _display ctrlCreate ["RscPicture", -1];

private _width = safezoneW;
private _height = safezoneH * (getResolution#4);
private _left = 0.5 - _width / 2;
private _top = 0.5 - _height / 2;

_control ctrlSetPosition [_left, _top, _width, _height];
_control ctrlCommit 0;

_control ctrlSetText "<path_to_image>";

// fade effect
0 spawn {
    sleep 10; // keep 10 seconds
    "commy_hallucination" cutFadeOut 2; // fade for 2 seconds
};
