nickexists Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 The single player mission for the 25t called "Presents" starts with a nice little intro with the camera focusing on various units that are significant to the mission. I looked at it in the mission editor and I see the triggers that make the intro messages appear but I don't see anything about controlling the camera or any scripts being run. Does anyone know how this was achieved?
Grimes Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Its basically an intro track file that replays immediately once you get in the game and when its finished the actual mission takes over and progresses as a normal mission.

Does anyone know how this was achieved? Wow, that's amazing, I didn't know this feature was actively used. I found out about it in this thread: mission video intro?is this working? The Su-25T Mission "Presents" clearly has the track data and the "continue_track" file, so the above mentioned technique is exactly the one used in that mission. That's a very creative and simple way to use this feature, cool. :thumbup: Maybe we'll see it a little more often in the future since it's pretty easy to use (once mission designers know about it).

nickexists Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Awesome! Anyone know if this works in MP?

Yurgon Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Do you know if it works in MP? :gun_sniper: I doubt it, but it should be easy enough to test it. Just prepare a mission with such an intro, make sure it works in SP, then fire up MP and try your mission there. If it works, invite a buddy or a forum member or get a server hoster to test if it also works with MP clients.
