Ingame Films - Films made in Events. Anyone have some film ideas?
(1/4) > >>
Bester Bageler:
 So this is the basic idea by using

* PathCam
* DefaultCam
* Bot Events
* HeadTurn  We can make videos in-game. Where with bot events vehicles are driven and with clients can see the characters on screen talking by having the chat message event used with the text colored to look like it is being said by players. A general theater save shall be released as a place where a player can go into a 1 person room and view a film. A sort of hub of movies.

  needed: people to have film ideas.

  Now we can do this with a little editing and have a sort of Game Mode in place. PathCam is edited so it works minigame wide and can be sent to all players. Now not only you view a film but you watch it with other people. Mute is turned on when a film is on so its only the show. With the Game Mode films and the activation brick are loaded under Bl_Id: 999999 the theater itself is loaded under Bl_Id: 888888. The films will be cycled and loaded like speedkart. Except that one does not have a replay count and goes to the next one a few minutes after one ends for intermission and discussion time where players can leave the server and talk about said film.

  needed: films, scripting, and a PathCam edit.

  The last idea in in-game films is this can be used in more than just said, it can be used as a sort of secret in builds letting people see films about what ever the builder wants said film to be. It can also work as cut scenes letting people put videos into there challenges for a player to view when they are getting teleported to the next area. This will make transitions and story telling easier in that case.

  What are your thoughts on in-game films? Post film ideas please. At the moment I think I will make a remake of Run Hard.

I got an idea.
Some guys drop out of the sky.
On an iceberg.
And make a city.
The end.

Things are coming out good, the only problem is there does not seem to be away to control bot head movement. when it turns you can not point it in a certain direction

Updated: new add-on fixes this.

Wait, you are actually doing my idea? :D

I am kind of iffy with bot events, so if you could give me the save I could figure out how you make them do stuff :D

Nope! I was thinking along the lines of longer films. Also yours lacks a plot.
