Hia.
There'll be a few more script bits coming in the next few weeks (i.e. 0.56.0), i'll make notes on 'em here as they're added.
First off, cutscene images, e.g. :
Code: Select all
myImage = Image( "http://website.com/image1.bmp", 0 );
myImage.FadeIn( 1, 2 );
myImage.FadeOut( 7, 8 );
myImage.SetPos( 0.5, 0.5 );
All totally self-explanatory i presume

Not yet.
Two cutscene vector functions added : SetToPlayerCameraPosition, SetToPlayerCameraTargetPosition. e.g
Code: Select all
camPosEnd = Vector();
camTargetEnd = Vector();
camPosEnd.SetToPlayerCameraPosition();
camTargetEnd.SetToPlayerCameraTargetPosition();
useful for smooth(ish) transitions back to the normal view at the end of a cutscene.
New serverscript event : '
AccessBuilding'. when a player walks up to the building and presses CTRL to access it, the event is triggered on the server. (Which i believe provides a much easier way of using buildings on your world to do 'stuff' on demand).
This combines with some other (somewhat major) changes to the UI and way menus are accessed in 0.56.0, and on that theme, theres a new '
Scripted' BuildingType - These don't do anything much, but provide a 'cleaner' way of making buildings that are there just so you can hang scripts off em.
New system variable : '
gBuildingAccessNum' gives you the individual building 'record num' (not the 'type') being accessed in particular events. The events where this is valid are : BuildingTriggered, AccessBuilding, NewBuilding, BuildingDestroyed, BuildingPurchase, BuildingTriggerSequenceComplete and EndSequence (when triggered from a building)

There was something I ran into before with multiple camera location blends.. it would pause between the two, don't recall if its been addressed before, since, yanno, its been a while. I just recall a time where I needed the camera movement to change trajectory but a half or quarter second pause made it pretty oogly.

o yea and if all this could be implemented in crow-based subspace modes, would be mega-choice.
or tradable buildings, at least
