hi there! i want to do something i don't even know if it's possible.
i usually use a script i got from the forums here. it is: "pick up X items before you can enter a door."
i got this (when you need, i can post it here) and it works great. i have customized it within my very limited scripting skills but this seems impossible for me:

i tell you what is requested.
this is for "island hopper". mike must search an enemy outpost for information about the goals of the pirates. there must be a few informations that mike must collect. until there it's the script i mentioned above. pick up X items before you are allowed to open door Y.
now i would like every single collectible to activate an individual video.
mike comes closer to the collectable, then you read "Press E to collect information" and then a video is played. an individual video for every single collectable item.

is this possible, can you help me with this?

May not be able to do this yet till Lee gives us path capabilities for videos in LUA.

I believe right now they are only able to be played in a story zone.

Have you considered using sprites? These can be defined in script and shown when needed.

Mike is right, about video paths and son.
Meantime I've wrote you some workaraound



Attach this script to each collectible.
Notice you'll have to enter collectible number here:
Collected(1)
Destroy(1)

in my map the collectible is number 1.

Edit; I forgotten, you've to place storyzone closest to each collectible, don't forguet enter the video path>via properties panel, for each storyzone you use.
