#

I was working on my cutscenes, and they suddenly decided to stop working and I can't find the reason. What can be behind it?

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:36 AM

#

wdym "stopped working"

#

and which kind of cutscenes

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:36 AM

#

Not expecting anyone to know exactly what's wrong, just things that I could test and see if it's wrong

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:36 AM

#

lua?

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:36 AM

#

lua, yes

#

they just, don't do anything

#

I go into the trigger, nothing happens

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:37 AM

#

restar chapter, walk in trigger, send log.txt

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:37 AM

#

where's the log.txt file location?

#

If you have crashed, and are on Everest Core, there will be a log in the CrashLogs folder, which contains extra information that the regular logs do not. The Core crash handler will tell you the file name, and give you the option to open the folder.

Otherwise, in order to get Everest logs, open Olympus, and:

Press the "Manage", under the "Installations" panel on the main menu
Press "Browse" to open the Celeste folder
Send the log.txt file from that folder (not the error_log.txt or any log from LogHistory)

Note, on both Everest versions, there are older logs in the LogHistory folder inside the Celeste folder, but these are not the relevant logs. The most recent one is directly in the Celeste folder (and in CrashLogs for Core users), and not in any other folders.

Everest logs contain paths to certain files and folders in your system (e.g.: active helpers) to help with diagnosing problems. Remember to censor any usernames in log files before uploading them.

send whole log

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:40 AM

📎 log.txt

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:40 AM

and your cutscene

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:41 AM

#

📎 startCutscene.lua

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:41 AM

#

what is engine?

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:42 AM

#

C# thing I believe, learned it in a tutorial

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:42 AM

#

looks like you need local engine = require("#Monocle.Engine") at start

#

because right now engine is nothing

#

you need to "import", "require" it

#

everything else looks fine

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:42 AM

#

it worked before though

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:43 AM

#

🤷 ~~skill issue~~

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:43 AM

#

split root looks like you need `local engine = require("#Monocle.Engine")` at start

*at start of file, before everything

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

so above the begin function?

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

yeah

#

if you want i can explain what it does

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

Well, I got another cutscene to

#

uses no engine, also doesn't work

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

send it too

#

(.lua file)

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

📎 dreamblockCutscene.lua

#

not finished yet

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:45 AM

#

just look at highlight

#

you forgot " after first dialog key

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:45 AM

#

ah, thanks

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:45 AM

#

and after second

#

which text editor do you use?

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:46 AM

#

notepad

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:46 AM

#

vscode is most recommended
notepad++ is fine
notepad is very bad

#

because notepad++ has highlight

#

allows to detect that easy error quick

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:46 AM

#

alright, I'll get that later

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:47 AM

#

sturdy flame

this one works now

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:47 AM

#

and other one?

#

oh wait i see

#

also add
local celeste = require("#Celeste")

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:48 AM

#

nothing

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:48 AM

#

huh?

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:48 AM

#

not working

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:49 AM

#

which error this time?

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:50 AM

#

same one

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:50 AM

#

add a lot of log()

#

type there anything you want

#

like

#

log("fdslkfdjsalk")

#

just to understand when it breaks

#

you can also try to use celeste.CutsceneEntity:CameraTo instead of celeste.CutsceneEntity.CameraTo ( : instead of last .)

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:52 AM

#

found the issue

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:52 AM

#

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:53 AM

#

missing one )

split root Jan 2, 2024, 11:53 AM

#

ah, lol, yeah

#

btw uhh

#

you can't use corotine.yield in onEnd i think?

#

but idk

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 11:54 AM

#

I can I guess

#

it's working

#

that's the part that had a missing )

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:41 PM

#

@split root Quick question, is there any easy way to do a dash in a cutscene?

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:42 PM

#

not sure

#

if you want i can look

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:43 PM

#

yeah I'd love that

#

Wait, I think I found a way

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:47 PM

#

try player.StartDash()

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:47 PM

#

almost, but not quite

#

alright

#

does nothing

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:48 PM

#

wait lol there is

#

dash(x,y)

#

ex. dash(1,-1)

#

right up

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:49 PM

#

that doesn't seem to do anything either

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:49 PM

#

huh?

#

without player

#

just dash

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:49 PM

#

yeah

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:50 PM

#

it's used in ZKB's 100 traps start

#

i just checked

#

and it definitly works weheline

#

dfsalkjdl wait what iff

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:50 PM

#

it's not working for me though...

#

?

#

maybe that's just a function they made or something?

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:50 PM

#

yea

#

correc

#

t

#

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:51 PM

#

so could I yoink it?

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:51 PM

#

it's kinda wrong i think?

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:51 PM

#

is it?

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:51 PM

#

ah, no

#

local function dash(xVector,yVector)
  player.OverrideDashDirection = vector2(xVector, yVector)
  helpers.setPlayerState (2)
  helpers.wait(0.6)
  helpers.setPlayerState (11)
  player.OverrideDashDirection = nil
end

#

you can just copy this at start of your file

#

and then use dash(x,y)

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

alright let's see

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

keep in mind it stops cutscene while madeline dashes

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

yeah it's the final thing of the cutscene

#

but uh

#

it doesn't really work

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

?

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

well the dashing works

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

what's wrong?

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:53 PM

#

but in the cutscene, I dash into a dream block

#

hold on I'll show you

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:53 PM

#

i understand

#

remove last two lines before end

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:53 PM

#

ah alright

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:53 PM

#

should work

#

(it forces player to stop dashing after 0.6 seconds)

#

also i think

#

you can use helpers.setPlayerState(9)

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:54 PM

#

it still seems to stop after 0.6 seconds

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:54 PM

#

to set player's state to dream dash

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:55 PM

#

sturdy flame it still seems to stop after 0.6 seconds

dashing stops?

#

well, then use helpers.setPlayerState(9), yeah

#

after wait

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:56 PM

#

also doesn't work

#

is it because of the cutscene ending?

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:56 PM

#

i think it should not affect..

#

what exactly doesn't work?

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

it once again stops

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

player is stuck in dream block?

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

yup

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

can you move/dash?

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

I can dash, not move

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

ofc

#

well

#

wait, i guess yes

#

because cutscene ends

#

just add wait

#

for uh any time

#

2 seconds could i think

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:58 PM

#

It's a pretty long dream block

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:58 PM

#

10 seconds

#

best solution imo is dash without cutscene

#

and count seconds

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 12:59 PM

#

about 5 seconds

split root Jan 2, 2024, 12:59 PM

#

set 6

#

and see

#

(wait(6) after setState)

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 1:00 PM

#

after setting it to 9?

#

it seems to work

split root Jan 2, 2024, 1:01 PM

#

cool

sturdy flame Jan 2, 2024, 1:01 PM

#

Thanks for the help again

split root Jan 2, 2024, 1:01 PM

#

sturdy flame after setting it to 9?

(i meant wait 6 seconds, don't set state)

split root Jan 2, 2024, 1:01 PM
