Camera Movements/Cutscenes?

[hollow canopy]

Can someone help me make like a cutscene where every player is forced to look at one player for a certain amount of time?

im thinking of summoning an item display at the coordinates of the player i want to spectate and then setting every player into spectator and teleproting them to that item display, but how would i make it so that the player goes back to their original coordinates?

[hollow canopy]

ik u can use data get (player name) pos to get the position, but how would i use that in a tp command

Wouldn't using an armor stand be a good choice for this type of effect? You can always make it invisible and indestructible

[hollow canopy]

ok but how do I teleport it to the player i want the cutscene to start at. /tp the players name will just get it stuck inside of them, so i need their coordinates and subtract/ add some values to make it look more natural

You can run the command as the armor stand and have it to @a to it constantly. You can check for the armor stand specifically by summoning it in with a tag that you can target then have an execute command /execute as @e[type=armor_stand,tag=cutscene] run tp @a[tag=in_cutscene] ~ ~ ~ or something to this effect

And you can move the armor stand where ever. I'm not too sure how well this works, but it's a start at the least.

It wouldn't, armor stands are outdated and everything they can, display entities can do better and more efficient

[steel hemlock]

didnt even know about that

fair nuff

[zealous dust]

I'm at work, so I can't explain but all of this can be done fairly easy and efficient.

[jaunty fern]

I got this one

So you want to summon a marker(better armor stand) and teleport players to where you want them facing the player

for example summon marker ~ ~ ~ {Tags:["pos"]}

and execute at @n[type=marker,tag=pos] run tp @a[tag=cutscene] ~ ~ ~ facing entity @p[tag=selectedPlayer]

This will teleport all players with the tag cutscene to the marker with the 'pos' tag and make them face the selcted player tag

[hollow canopy]

alright but after the cutscene finishes is there a way to teleport all the players back to their original position?

i don't know how to store the values of their original position and teleporting them bac

[steel hemlock]

rudimentary way to do this if they are all coming from a specific spot then just tp them back to that spot. though if you want it to be more dynamic so its less jarring then this is not the way to do that...

Display entities also have the teleport_duration which allows you to smoothly interpolate between 2 positions and creates some real nice cutscenes

You can also give the player an overlay with those black bars on the top and bottom to make clear that there is a cutscene happening

[hollow canopy]

this is my curretn command and i have a command in tick which teleports all players in spectator to spectate the camera

execute as @s run summon item_display ~ ~ ~ {view_range:0f,teleport_duration:TIME,Tags:["camera"],item:{id:"minecraft:air",Count:1b},Rotation:[RY1f,RX2f]}

gamemode spectator @a
spectate @e[type=minecraft:item_display,tag=camera,limit=1] @p
tp @e[tag=camera] @s

tick function:

execute as @a[gamemode=spectator] at @s run spectate @e[type=item_display,tag=camera,sort=nearest,limit=1]

[hollow canopy]

the tp @e[tag=camera] @s is supposed to teleport the camera to the player i want to make the cutscene for

[hollow canopy]

can some1 hel

[jaunty fern]

Sorry give me a sec

[jaunty fern]

Yes so what do you need help with

It should work

[hollow canopy]

how do i teleport the player back to their original position after the cutscene

[jaunty fern]

Im not sure how TheBlackSwitch saw it but summon an marker at the locations and teleporting them back

you can assign each player a marker if you want diffrent spots

or wait for the black switch

[hollow canopy]

so how would i teleport each seperate player to a different one. Like i would execute as each player, but owuldn't all the markers have the same name so how would i tell them apart

[glacial storm]

You will need macros for this but try like this in load.mcfunction

scoreboard objectives add players dummy

And this in the tick

scoreboard players add #player players 1
execute store result storage <storage name> playerID run scoreboard players get #player players
function <namespace>:<function name> with <storage name> random

And in function ```ansi
$execute at @p[tag=!done] run tag @p add $(playerID)
$execute at @p[tag=$(playerID)] run summon marker ~ ~ ~ {Tags:[$(playerID)]}
$tag @p[tag=$(playerID) add done

[jaunty fern]

lmk if you need more help @hollow canopy

and specify in the funtion tag=!done,tag=cutscene

[hollow canopy]

alright ill try it when i get home

thanks

[jaunty fern]

lmk if you have anyproblems

and to teleport back you just have to tp instead of summon
