 |

Just wondering if an interactive cutscene is possible. By interactive I mean you have a quick window to press a key, if you press it=good cutscene, u dont press it ontime= you get fucked up cutscene.
Possible yesh?No?

Yes, easy. Just use key is pressed. Example:
| Code: |
variable (counter, key)
counter := 18 #change this
#show an instruction
while (counter) do (
counter -= 1
if (key is pressed(key:space)) then (key := 1, counter := 0) #change the key
wait
)
if (key) then (
#good things
) else (
#bad things
)

The variables are used to A) keep track of how long the player has, and B) to check whether they pressed the correct key.
| Code: | variable (counter, key)
counter := 18 #change this |
This is how many ticks you want to give the player.
| Code: | | #show an instruction |
Don't forget to tell the player what they're doing
| Code: | | while (counter) do ( |
While counter is greater than 0...
...bump the timer down, and...
[/code] if (key is pressed(key:space)) then (key := 1, counter := 0) #change the key[/code]
...check to see whether they pressed a goodly key. If they did, set key to 1, and stop the timer.
Give the OHR some breathing room
| Code: | if (key) then (
#good things
) else (
#bad things
) |
If key is set, then they pressed the key in time. Thus, do good things. Otherwise, they missed the mark, so do bad things.
You can more or less copy this every time you want to use it with impunity. Except, if you use it more than once in the same script, you don't need to re-declare the variables. And, you should clear key to 0, for the next time.

This is a more user-friendly version of the code that makes it easier to understand.
| Code: | variable (counter, key)
conter:=18
while (counter>0) do
(
decrement (counter,1)
if (key is pressed(key:space)) then
(
key := 1
counter := 0
)
wait
)
if (key==1) then
(
#good things
)
else
(
#bad things
) |
Note how "key" will only equal one if the key is pressed, resulting in good things happening. If the counter is decremented to 0 without the key being pressed, the script will exit the while statement, but "key" will still equal 0, resulting in teh "else" statement being executed. Bad stuff *shivers*.
Hope that helps,
~Worthy

You call that user-friendly? I can bloat it even more!
| Code: | variable (counter, key)
conter:=18
while (counter>0) do, begin
decrement (counter,1)
if (key is pressed(key:space)) then, begin
key := 1
counter := 0
end
wait
end
if (key==1) then, begin
#good things
end, else, begin
#bad things
end |

The parentheses are easier to understand.
Also, you guys managed to misspell "counter".

Either I'm stupid, an admin somehow edited our posts without leaving a mark, or you guys are BSing. Quote something.

Well, we've ruled out BSing and admin edits...

Ah, I see. Worthy made the mistake, and I missed it when I quoted him and chopped off all of his post. You'll notice that in the post before, it's spelled correctly.

There's a slight problem with this code.
Suppose that the player simply holds spacebar during the entire cutscene. You would want the script to progress to the bad cutscene becuase the player was cheating
| Code: | variable (counter, key)
counter:=18
while (counter>0) do, begin
decrement (counter,1)
if (key is pressed(key:space)) then, begin
if(key == 1) then, begin
key := 2
counter := 0
end
end
else, begin
key == 1
end
wait(1)
end
if (key==2) then, begin
#good things
end
else, begin
#bad things
end |
with this code, the player has to press the key AFTER the counter has started.
Edit: I should check the dates on the previous posts more often. The last reply was like 2 months ago.  |

| If you want to be evil like the actual RE4, you can also use random to make it change up the buttons/keys to press. |
