Creating Cutscenes

Cutscenes are created using plotscripting.

To get started, see the Plotscripting Tutorial and the Plotscripting Dictionary

Edit by Dr. Baconman...

One possibility is to have the following:

• NPCs that move around, if they're performing an action that requires movement, using

walk NPC (NPC #, Direction, Move Speed)

• Having Text Boxes that can be used as speech OR used to show large pictures. Use the below to show a text box:

show text box (box #)

In order to show a picture using Text Boxes, go into their Appearances menu and select Choose Background. You can upload a scenario screen into the Backgrounds and use it from there.

• Be SURE to use this command if it's a cutscene:

suspend player
[action(s)]
resume player

This way you (the player) have no control over the Hero as the scene plays out, while you (the game-scripter) have total control.
