my first doodle in cogs AND cutscenes

[DaFan]

no, not really a cutscene, but a camera movement...
after it goes "It is kyle!" the camera moves in too slow. i just adjusted the tuorial's cog really, but whatever:

My guess why the cog doesn't work is that the third IF statement near the bottom doesn't have a beginning bracket { or end bracket }
You also need to balance out the start and end brackets to determine how the if statements are nested within each other. Hope that helps.
----------------------
I think to have a cutscene start when a level does you call the cutscene cog from the startup cog.

[DaFan]

how would that look? and how would i call it from the startup cog?

[llll]

*cough*

[Demon_Nightmare]

Just put

message startup

under the symbols, and for the code, have it say

code
startup:

[DaFan]

would that look like:

symbols
thing cam
thing cam2
thing maraship
thing player local
flex speed=2.0
flex speed2=2.0
sound goalsnd=kk60058.wav local
int done=0 local
sound SoundToPlay=forceblind01.wav local
int Player local
int check local
message startup
end
code
startup:

or

symbols

thing cam
thing cam2
thing maraship
thing player local
flex speed=2.0
flex speed2=2.0
sound goalsnd=kk60058.wav local
int done=0 local

end

code

2nd one...

I don't think it matters, but I always put my messages first.

Demon_Nightmare

[DaFan]

well, its not working

[DaFan]

*cough* if no one can help me, wheres a good place to learn cogs?

[Hideki]

Change "activated" to "startup" both in the symbols and the code.

And also put

Sleep(1);

just below

"startup:" (after you replace)

You missed a semi-colon. I marked it in bold.

Ok, bold doesn't work so well with code brackets, I put a comment next to it instead.

It works up until it gets to cam 3 then it skips everything else in the cog.

also, after this goes, my internal veiw IS cam3 and it sees Mara's ship from its first position whick it shouldn't
