Making Cutscene

Dear fellow,

I have problem when making Cutscene.

Can anybody help me?

I am totally newbie in Construct 2.

Include a capx, and tell us exactly what you want or don't want to have happen please.

Easiest way to do it, this assumes the cinematics aren't created procedurally.

Create objects :

1. Player : add 8 direction behavior

2. Cinematic

            Leave the default animation empty.

            Create a new animation with the frames for your cutscene.

            Set image point top right, apply to all animations

            Set position 0,0

            Set size 640,480.

3. Npc : add instance variables Cinematic, and StartSeconds

            Cinematic is the animation name you want to play (step2)

            StartSeconds is point in time to start audio from

Create new layer : set parallax 0,0 move Cinematic to this layer.

Event sheet

On touched Npc

Player is overlapping Npc

      Cinematic set animation : Npc.Cinematic

      Audio Play AudioAll tag "Music"

      Audio seek tag Music npc.StartSeconds

Cinematic on any finished

      Cinematic set animation : default

      Audio stop tag "Music"

Also some of the info in this topic applies..

May I ask for the .capx file?

LittleStain:

Thanks for the information.

you could also do a style similar to

Group: Cutscene

var scene_time;

var scene_start;

On Function "StartScene"

scene_time = time;

scene_start = time;

On every Tick

scene_time = time - scene_start;

// and now the meat of the scene

if scene_time < 0

One while true then set camera to left side

if scene_time < 10

One while true then change door frame to open. have lady walk in from left to right

if scene_time < 15

One while true then stop lady in front of desk

if scene_time < 16

One while true then start lady talking about her cheating husband

this way you have a time set of sequence to create a time based cut scene.
