How do I make a cutscene where the camera moves and dream blocks activate? | Mt. Celeste Climbing Association | Page 1

hard sonnet Feb 10, 2024, 7:26 PM

#

I just got into Lua (1 hour ago) and Im really bamboozled about cutscenes. How do I make so that the camera moves left and activates the dream blocks with the dream block string 2 song and after that the 2nd progression of oldsite beginning plays?

Would appreciate it

https://github.com/EverestAPI/ModResources/wiki/Lua-Cutscenes-Recipe-Book#example-controlling-the-camera has good examples how to move camera

ok

tight relic Feb 10, 2024, 7:40 PM

honestly just put there Activate Dream Block trigger somewhere outside room, then find it with GetEntity and change it's .X

._.

#

should ber very compicated i think...

#

or do

hard sonnet Feb 10, 2024, 7:43 PM

#

damn

tight relic Feb 10, 2024, 7:43 PM

#

or, put cutscene outside block (so player will touch it)

#

then getEntity the box

#

and check if it's deactivated (somehow..)

#

with while not <deactivated> coroutine.yield(nil) end

#

and after this loop put actual code for cutscene

#

w h a t

tight relic Feb 10, 2024, 7:45 PM

#

haha

#

i said "compicated"

#

well, not really

#

but not easy :p

I just got into Lua 1 hour ago

tight relic Feb 10, 2024, 7:45 PM

#

skill issue

#

should i make cutscene for you?

hard sonnet Feb 10, 2024, 7:45 PM

#

that would be awesome

tight relic Feb 10, 2024, 7:45 PM

(obv you will have to give me credits ~~and $20~~)

#

tight relic (obv you will have to give me credits ~~and $20~~)

Yeah

#

Also

#

Ignore the music progression

#

I found a better way to place it

tight relic Feb 10, 2024, 7:47 PM

#

just saw it maddyS

#

📎 cutscene.lua

#

hmm try this?

hard sonnet Feb 10, 2024, 7:55 PM

#

I'll try

#

What that mean

tight relic Feb 10, 2024, 8:01 PM

#

that line moves Activate Dreamblock trigger (assuming you placed it somewhere in room) to 0,0

#

with 4,0 being half tile offset

hard sonnet Feb 10, 2024, 8:04 PM

#

so

#

when the box breaks it moves the trigger to the middle of the room?

tight relic Feb 10, 2024, 8:04 PM

#

top left corner

#

oh no snip is typing

#

he will say that i havae 99999 errors in cutscene

#

just like last time

hard sonnet Feb 10, 2024, 8:05 PM

#

probably

stoic snow Feb 10, 2024, 8:05 PM

#

tight relic that line moves `Activate Dreamblock trigger` (assuming you placed it somewhere ...

i suggest reading up on magic numbers and doing something like

local ONE_TILE = 8

and referencing ONE_TILE elsewhere in place of 8

tight relic Feb 10, 2024, 8:05 PM

#

oh look he didn't frogeline

stoic snow Feb 10, 2024, 8:05 PM

#

functionally changes nothing, but makes it more readable

tight relic Feb 10, 2024, 8:06 PM

#

but who cares about readability..? trollshiro
ok, do as snip says

stoic snow Feb 10, 2024, 8:06 PM

#

that way the reader doesn't ask "what does 8 mean", and the variable name tells you what it is

stoic snow Feb 10, 2024, 8:07 PM

#

tight relic but who cares about readability..? <:trollshiro:902180197216956426> ok, do as s...

code is more often read than written

#

so readability is somewhat important

How do I build it in lönn so it works?

stoic snow Feb 10, 2024, 8:08 PM

you kinda don't

hard sonnet Feb 10, 2024, 8:08 PM

#

oh

stoic snow Feb 10, 2024, 8:08 PM

#

you just save the file in Assets/YourUsername/YourCampaignName/yourCutscene.lua

hard sonnet Feb 10, 2024, 8:09 PM

#

I did

stoic snow Feb 10, 2024, 8:09 PM

#

and reference the file in your lua cutscene trigger

#

hover over the path property name for details

hard sonnet Feb 10, 2024, 8:09 PM

#

I did

stoic snow Feb 10, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

then just enter the cutscene trigger

#

if it doesnt cutscene, check your log.txt for details

hard sonnet Feb 10, 2024, 8:10 PM

it doesnt :(
