cutscene help

[severe hearth]

hello. im new to coding and i made a simple cutscene on moon animator 2. im looking for someone kind enough to help me script it(triggered when join), i have tried so many tutorials and nothing works

[void parcel]

u need to play animation

and then move the players charcter

and tween camera

[severe hearth]

i did the camera aswell on moon itself and actually the animation is in firstperson so basically the camera is attached in the head

i have done the animation and all. like the rig and the camera aswell. my problem is just how can i trigger it when joined

[void parcel]

playeradded

[edgy rock]

did it work? could you show the cutscene

[severe hearth]

so if i script playeradded then get the data of the folders(cam,FOV etc.) then animation i will just trigger it if player is added?

[void parcel]

yes

When u use playeradded everything inside of it happens when the player joins

thats how u save data

[severe hearth]

i havent really tried scripting it cuz im afraid i will ruin the work, im still learning lua and as far as i know i can only do intermediate level and i didnt really understand how camera works if i script it something like that, but here is a video of my cutscene

though im not quite sure if i can do the folder thingy since i didnt understand what's inside it aside from just keyframes. the only thing i understand was how to play the animation for the rig only

[void parcel]

cool ass cutscene

[severe hearth]

Thank you 🙏
thats why i havent really tried scripting it cuz it might get ruined 😭

[void parcel]

You just have to do humanoid:LoadAnimation

[severe hearth]

does this work aswell for the camera? as far as i understand it wont ig because like the camera wasnt exported as a whole animation but a frame by frame inside a folder 😭

[void parcel]

nope

its only for the players animation

i would of just scripted the camera movements tbh

[severe hearth]

what do u mean by that?

like manually do the camera movement using part block?

and just script it

[void parcel]

yeah i guess

[severe hearth]

dang there is no other way to use the camera i made on moon? i do have an idea though instead of making a part block and use it as camera. cant i just script it and use the dummy's head as a camera so that it will still be in firstperson? would that also work?

[edgy rock]

lowkey moon animator camera is very complicated. it would be way easier to just do a renderstepped to make the local cam cframe the head's cframe

[severe hearth]

mind showing me how should i do it? i quite dont understand

[edgy rock]

just do in a local script in startercharacterscripts

local currentcam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local char = script.Parent

local camconnection
camconnection = rs.renderstepped:Connect(function())
currentcam.CFrame = char:WaitForChild("Head")
end)

do this code when your cutscene for the head pov starts and when the cutscene is done do

exampletrack:Stopped:Wait()
camconnection:Disconnect()

obviously this code won't solve everything but it provides a foundation

i am doing something similar heres an example
it is much simpler though

just apply the same principles of putting the camera cframe in a renderstepped and changing it to the part in the position you want it to see through cframe. Remember to put them in a connection and disconnect it when you want to stop the camera being in that position

obviously there are many other ways to do this but this is the most simplest way in my opinion

[severe hearth]

OMG this was the thing i was really looking for. i will try it and let you know if i have any other questions!

[severe hearth]

hello @edgy rock sorry for the ping

i have followed your suggestion and it is doing well yet may i know how can i hide the accessory? if its in the head, u will see the accessories still i want to hide it so i used the localtransparency thingy to 1 for each handler but yet it seems to be not working even though it is correct

@severe hearth Hey sorry for late response, I been a bit busy. Could i see the code you used to set the transparency if you havent already fixed it?

[edgy rock]

Maybe you can try

for _, v in ipairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
    if v:IsA("Accessory") then
        local handle = v:FindFirstChildOfClass("Part")
        handle.Transparency = 1
    end
end

this worked for me
