Player-based Cutscenes?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m working on a game that will feature Player based CutScenes.

I’ve tried searching tutorials and / or examples but the only results I’m getting are for Camera CutScenes?

Does anybody have any suggestions or tips on the best practice for creating CutScenes that will feature other Players and models?

Thank you,

Isn’t that a Camera CS?

I.e. Animated, interactive etc.

Do you have an example of a Player-based cutscene, or a more in-depth explanation of what you’re looking for?

A CutScene that involves the local Player?

Example,
Waking up in a jail cell,
Speaking to an NPC,
Storyline scenes?

You need a way to do the following;

  • Toggling the player’s ability to control their character (Movement)
  • Toggling the player’s animations, so you can play your own.
  • A way to tell the camera where it is supposed to be.

You should probably set up a cutscene code-wise like this;
3 functions:

  • Function Setup() - > This will toggle your Player’s animations & movement off and load any animations that you want to play.
  • Function EndScene() → This will stop any cutscene animations, and let the player regain control of their character and animations. (If you are making changes to the game-world in the cutscene, make sure they are finished here, because that way you can add a skip cutscene option later on.)
  • Function PlayCutscene() - > This will call Setup(), and then you can do whatever you want in your cutscene, once its finished, it calls EndScene.

Thats a cutscene that involves the player, I’m not sure what else you mean. Is there a game/video of a game you’re thinking of?

Cloning a blank character rig than using this could work for these cutscenes.

Sorry for ignorance, but I am a newbie in scripting.
So I’m quite confused about how I have to script all of this steps
Can you please show some examples of the full code in roblox studio?
