Do anyone know how to add a video cutscene between levels? I know how to add levels and cutscenes in the game by using the preset script templates, but I don't know how to play a cutscene after a level. I tried adding an intro video in level 2 but when the player enters level 2, the game skips the intro video. But when I run level 2 by itself, it plays the intro video.

load a empty level (no player/npc/... actions) and start your video (maybe by an starter-entity in the level or by script).
wait until the video is played (or the user interrupts it) and load the next game level.

npc?? How do you put a starter-entity in the level?

here try this instead
make a new script and name it what ever you want.
put this code in the new script then include the new script in your main script
Code:

---

 string loading_video = <video.mpg>;  //Change to your video
bmap loading_lv = <loading.bmp>; //Change to what ever
panel loadingscreen {
	bmap = loading_lv;   //loading screen name
	flags = refresh,d3d;
}

function movie_play()
{
     media_play (loading_video, loading_lv, 77);
}

function load_level()
{
	loadingscreen.pos_x = (screen_size.x - bmap_width(loading_lv))/2;  //centers loading screen
	loadingscreen.pos_y = (screen_size.y - bmap_height(loading_lv))/2;

loadingscreen.visible = on;  //displays loading screen	
movie_play();
wait(3);
sleep(2);
loadingscreen.visible = off;  //clears screen
bmap_purge(loading_lv); 
LOAD_LEVEL <-->levelname<-->;  //level name 
  
}}


ACTION levelchange //*assign this to a map entity blocking the way out of the level*/!!!!
{

MY.INVISIBLE = ON;       //makes entitie invisible
MY.ENABLE_IMPACT = ON;   //enables player impact
MY.EVENT = load_level;  //function name

}

That should work. Although there might be a problem when the video plays, it may not play the whole thing. I don't know. I'm pretty sure it will work though. BTW, this is written in A6 C-Script not A7 Lite-C.

Thank you. I will give it a try.

@xbox

could you make me an action that makes a sound play on a trigger? thanks

Do you mean something like this
Code:

---

Sound* mysound = <sound.wav>; //Put your sound here
var mysound_handle;


function play_mysound()
{
     mysound_handle = snd_play(mysound, 100, 0);
}

action iplaysound //attach this to the block that you want to trigger the sound
{
     MY.VISIBLE = OFF;
     MY.ENABLE_IMPACT = ON;
     MY.EVENT = play_mysound();
} 

---

Here Hope this helps.

function play_mysound()
{
mysound = my.string1;
mysound_handle = snd_play(mysound, 100, 0);
}

i suggest using this as event, thus you can set which sound will be played by editin entity's(trigger?) string1 in wed.
