Creating a CutScene

There are a set of prebuilt scripts that you can find in the 'CutScene' folder. Using those scripts, you can create a system to execute the scripts to create a scene. (Optional arguments in each script will have an '*' next to them)

---

Current Scripts

• scrCutSceneMove(Object, Speed, XDest, YDest, Relative) - Move selected object to position
• scrCutScenePath(Object, Path, Speed) - Have selected object follow path
• scrCutSceneEnd() - Internal use only
• scrCutSceneWait(Time) - Wait a set time (seconds)
• scrCutSceneTextBox(TextArray, *TextInitStruct = new TextInit(), *TextExtStruct = []) - Create a textbox message
• scrCutSceneBattle(Enemy) - Start a battle with the selected enemy
• scrCutSceneFinish() - End the cutscene
• scrCutSceneEmote(Object, Sprite) - Have the selected object spawn an emote
• scrCutSceneCamera(Target) - Change the current focus of the camera
• scrCutSceneMoveToObject(Object, Speed, ObjectFollow, *FinishDistance = 0) - Move the selected object to another object

---

First, create an array that will hold the sections of the scene

Example

    CutScene =
    [
    ];

---

Next, fill in the array with the scripts in the order you want. Make sure to include the required arguments

Format

[ScriptName, Argument0, Argument1, Argument2, etc]

Example

var Text = "", TextInitial, TextExt = [], Line = 0;

Text[Line] = "Hey its a crab";
TextInitial[Line] = new TextInit(0.05, c_black, 0, oDog);
TextExt[Line] = [];

Line++;
Text[Line] = "%slook ok we get it, u were bullied as a kid, %fi really dont %ccare";
TextInitial[Line] = new TextInit(0.05, c_red, 0, oCrab);
TextExt[Line] = [[show_debug_message, "test!"],0.1, c_green];

CutScene = //A group of scenes
[
    [scrCutSceneMove, instance_find(oDog,0), 3, 2440, 1152, false],
    [scrCutSceneWait, 1],
    [scrCutSceneMove, instance_find(oCrab,0), 3, 2540, 1152, false],
    [scrCutSceneTextBox, Text, TextInitial, TextExt],
    [scrCutSceneWait, 0.5],
    [scrCutSceneBattle, oCrab],
    [scrCutSceneFinish]
];

Note: Make sure to include the 'scrCutSceneFinish' to finish the cutscene. If you don't, the cutscene will never end.

---

That is it! To execute the cutscene, run the 'scrCreateCutScene' script and enter the cutscene array as one of the arguments.

Example

 scrCreateCutScene(CutScene); // "CutScene" will be replaced with whatever you called the cutscene
