C.T.B Creations 0 Posted March 28, 2020 So I'm making a 5 mission campaign and the first mission is called the lost and I have only set up a briefing so far which you can see here: https://medal.tv/clips/21316929/d1337r5xFx0A and the first typewriter little intro was done in init.sqf but can I make the screen fade to black text shows up and then fades out again in a different location. Let me be more specific. 1. Fade to black 2. Get the same typewriter effect as in the beginning but instead, it says something like "INSIDE TRUCK, NEAR CAMP MAXWELL 15 MINUTES LATER" because i want the player to be inside that car when it fades out again.

stburr91 1011 Posted March 28, 2020 First of all, it's always nice to see new mission makers, and I encourage you to stick with it, while it can be a tremendous amount of work, it can be satisfying. Now, don't take this the wrong way, but if you can't do the very basic things that you have been asking about, you aren't ready to do a campaign. I would recommend that you start much smaller, learn some of the basics before trying to do a campaign. Lastly, while there are people here that are willing to help, it's generally not ok to come in and ask people to write your scripts for you. There are tutorials for everything you asked about in this thread, and you should be spending your time learning these basics. There are many youtube tutorial videos covering basic scripting, so I would recommend searching there. Don't be discouraged, stick with it, it takes time, but it can be wroth it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't mean to break some rules or anything but thanks for the inspiration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't mean to break some rules or anything but thanks for the inspiration You're not breaking any rules. It's clear from the questions you're asking that you don't even have an understanding of the basics. You are going to have to spend a lot of time learning some simple scripting. So to answer your questing, yes, what you are asking about is possible, and is quite easy. Start by looking up how you fade to black. A search will turn up a wiki page, or a youtube video. You will need to learn how to read, and understand the Wiki pages, here's the one on the fade effects. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_fadeEffect There are also good youtube video on how to teleport, search for them, and play around with it until you understand it. The biggest part of mission making is your ability to learn how to find the resources that will allow you to achieve what you want to do in your mission. There are no shortcuts, it takes time, that's why I encourage you to start smaller, and slowly work your way up to doing a campaign. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again I understand that I will have to learn the basics and stuff but I'm gonna keep trying on this campaign until it's finished, no matter how long it takes. See you around 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
