MOTS Cutscene

[Dude_Mann_JJ]

HI, it's me again. I've gone back over my cutscene cog and re-written it from scratch. I still have the same problem. The object disappears, but no explosions are generated. Help please!

BTW, it's a mots STYLE cutscene, but it's made for basic JK


# A cutscene cog
# camera moves around object, then object blows up
# after destruction, the level ends



flags=0x240

symbols
thing bomber
template explosion
thing exp1
thing exp2
thing camera0 desc=camera0


int player local
int active=0 local
int CamNum=0 local
int TotalCams=1


message startup


thing actor1


int waittime1=6
int waittime2=3

end

# *************************

code

startup:
if(active) Return;
active = 1;

player = GetSourceRef();

if(player == GetLocalPlayerThing())
{StopThing(player); //this stops kyle
SetActorFlags(player, 0xa00000); //this sets his flags to not moving





SetCameraFocus(0, camera0);
Print("CutScene 1");


Sleep(waittime1);
MoveToFrame(Camera0,1,10.0);
sleep(waittime2);
MoveToFrame(Camera0,2,20);
Print("Let's end this");
Sleep(4);
CreateThing(explosion, exp1);
CreateThing(explosion, exp2);
destroything(bomber);
sleep(3);
ClearActorFlags(player, 0xa00000); ////Returns kyle to normal




SetCameraFocus(0, player); //Return view to kyle's
SetCurrentCamera(old_camera);
active = 0;

jkendlevel(1); //Ends the level

}
Return;


end

My guess is, the CreateThing() verb is not what you want to use (I can't imagine why it's not creating explosions :confused: )
Replace your CreateThing lines with these ones below and see if that works

FireProjectile(exp1, explosion, -1, -1, '0 0 0', '0 0 0', 0, 0, 0, 0);
FireProjectile(exp2, explosion, -1, -1, '0 0 0', '0 0 0', 0, 0, 0, 0);

Problem solved! I had the explosion template set as _explosion :rolleyes:
