OK, I've got my cutscene cog all figured out, no errors, the set is fine, cog implemented in the level (is that right?) but when i enter the level/cutscene, it crashes and exits out of JK

What the $$@^@$!! is WRONG!!!

Post the offending cog.

Ok. A few points:

1) Those 'JKcutscene' verbs only work in MOTS.

2) You dont need to phrase each camera movement. Movetoframe(Thing, Some_frame, Speed) will move an object through all of the frames between its current frame, and the target frame.

3) Youll need to add 'Waitforstop(Camera)' after all of those 'Movething' commands, otherwise the cutscene will be all outofwack.

4) Why do you have a sleep of 0.0?

*grumbles*

see, this is why they should create a tut describing the difference between JK and MotS cutscenes...-_-

But anyway, what should i use to denote the cutscene starting?

You dont need to. Freezing the player on startup and changing the camera is sign enough.

ok thanks a bunch...*goes off to test it praying that it will work*

I think my computer really hates me, really (maybe it's because im a beginner cogger?)

Post your new cog.

no, i wont bother, it probably had to do with the walkplayer not being in a sector, LOL!!! stupid me

ok, how to i move a thing (other than the camera) to another frame? I've tried it but the things just sit there... -_-

------------------
<Rob> Sometimes I think the support dudes go and play netgames when they are helping you.

The things you want to move need the appropriate frames.

Well i have the frames, but maybe my commands are wrong...:\

MoveToFrame(isd1, 1, 1.0);
MoveToFrame(isd2, 1, 1.0);
MoveToFrame(isd3, 1, 1.0);

would that be correct? or what? I really don't know..
