Hi everyone, I have been looking at the cinematic pack for GG and it is fantastic for in game cinematic but what I'm wondering is if there is a way of producing a pre rendered cinematic in blender or something similar that can be launched at the beginning or mid game?

I assume something like a script to call a video file is possible but I haven't found any examples.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you for the reply, I understand that you can use this in game, but can the script be called right after the loading screen?

Cheers.

You can just drop the storyzone on the player start marker to achieve the same effect.

There was a bug a while back where it didn't trigger properly doing that so instead you needed a small script to move the player into the zone at the start of the level then it would trigger. The bug may have been fixed now though.

That was rather tongue in cheek.

No I'm pretty sure it was fixed.

Well, either way, I appreciate the help! I have noticed that GGMax storyboard feature basically makes this super easy anyway, so I might just wait until it launches to start my game.

Sadly, I discovered GG after the pre-orders had closed, or I would have purchased that right away!
