Title: Need help.
Post by: RavenBlueIndigo on December 31, 2008, 07:09:16 PM
Um. I am making a game so I want to make a kind of in game cutscene where I walk in to a place..my charachter takes a few steps forward and the other charachters on my team show up beside me or in a nearby place and they walk to a locaition..or a few steps forward..and a small conversation occurs..then the charachters walk in a direction or dissapear..or just disapear. And if anyone has an MSN or something to better describe this to me, and help me with future things cause I got some things that needs clearly up, that would be greatly appreciated.

For your character, you need to make an event and set it to autorun, then set move route to how ever many steps you want them to take. Then insert a switch(call it whatever you want, but I'm going to refer to it as CutScene). Now make a new page with CutScene on, Leave it blank.
Then for every character make an event where you want them to appear. Leave the first page how it is, then make a second page for all of them with CutScene on, and set it to autorun. Then just set their move routes however you want. Then you can insert a switch for each member, I'll call them CutScene1,2 and 3. Then you can add a new page for each member, with the character graphic and all. Then on the first event, make a new page(this will be page 3) and set the switch to either CutScene1, 2 or 3. Then start your conversation. Then set move route to whatever you want(make sure it is on player everytime you set move route) and then teleport your player to wherever. One more switch, then leave the next page blank, with the new switch on.
Oh, and if you want the members to say anything afterwards, like if you return, then on the new page for each member you make, just put what you would want them to say.

So if that wasn't clear, feel free to PM me, I'll be happy to explain it a little clearer.

Oh, I forgot to say, that probably isn't the easiest way, you may be better off looking at tutorials for cutscenes or something.
