Hi, uh there's this problem I have with Lua Cutscenes where only one cutscene (.lua) file can work, and it has to be named cutscene.lua.
Although one cutscene is enough for an average custom celeste map, I want multiple cutscenes, and unless I figure out how to reuse a single cutscene.lua file and make it do something different with arguments, I kind of need to have multiple .lua files. ples help :))

what are you using to activate the lua cutscene
anything you use should have a Filename field where you can input the name of the lua file (without the file extension)
could you share what you have in the Filename field and what your folder structure looks like where the lua files are stored in your mod
karmic kestrel
the cutscene.lua file is beside the everest.yaml file
and im using Lua Cutscene [LuaCutscenes] to activate it

i advise not putting stuff directly in the root and rather putting the cutscene in Assets/eprimee184/YourMod/cutscene.lua
this is to prevent asset conflicts
send the cutscene file

yeah i've tried that once or twice but the cutscene wouldn't trigger
it looked like this (maybe this is wrong?)

you'll need to change the Filename field in the trigger to reflect the new location
if your folder structure looks like:
Assets/eprimee184/mod/cutscene.lua
Then the Filename field would read:
Assets/eprimee184/mod/cutscene
karmic kestrel
if your folder structure looks like:
Assets/eprimee184/mod/cutscene.lua
Then the...
so I would have to specify the file path from root?
latent seal
correct
the root of your mod folder
you also don't need to call it cutscene.lua, as long as you change the name in the Filename field. this is how you can have multiple lua files, since each trigger will call a different file
karmic kestrel
so something like this?
Assets/eprimee184workspace/NotSoForsakenAnymore/cutscene
(NotSoForsakenAnymore is the name of the mod, eprimee184workspace is my other name)

You’ll also need to restart your game

sorry if I'm being demanding here, but can you guys send like a video of just showcasing how to use lua cutscenes with proper folder structuring and location? I already know a fair bit of the syntax (I got 1 cutscene to work, which was the one directly from the root next to everest.yaml), I just don't know what I'm doing wrong with the file locations and filename field
I'll come back to this tomorrow, I have to go (good night guys!)

The best I can give you is that I've got the lua file at
.../Mods/NoRestForTheWicked/Assets/AnEnormousSmileyFace/NoRestForTheWicked/intro_approach.lua
My Filename field looks like
Assets/AnEnormousSmileyFace/NoRestForTheWicked/intro_approach
karmic kestrel
hmmm now the filepath Assets/eprimee184workspace/NotSoForsakenAnymore/cutscene works, but I still cant make multiple as they just wont work, I tried the same filepath with just the different file (.../NotSoForsakenAnymore/cutscene1) but no luck. (cutscene1 has the same script as the original cutscene, so I'm sure it just doesn't work somehow.)
kind zephyr
what if you restart chapter
karmic kestrel
what if you restart chapter
still nothing would trigger
kind zephyr
so you have cutscene.lua and cutscene1.lua?
karmic kestrel
so you have cutscene.lua and cutscene1.lua?
yep
karmic kestrel
it seems to only work for cutscene.lua and not any other names (even if I rename the original file to something different)
kind zephyr
what if you restart chapter
jesus christ my brain short circuited.
i meant to say restart the game
i didn't even realize
@karmic kestrel
latent seal
can you send a screenshot of both triggers (the one that works and the one that doesn't)
kind zephyr
it may just be live update
karmic kestrel
cutscene works, but cutscene1 doesnt
first one works (cutscene) but second doesn't (cutscene1)
kind zephyr
did you restart the game like i mentioned
karmic kestrel
did you restart the game like i mentioned
wait, now it works?
huh, maybe I just need to restart the game every time
kind zephyr
live update moment
karmic kestrel
live update moment
yeah haha
thanks for the help
guess I'll close this now
