Author | Topic: Scripted Scenes
Xenomrph Member Posts: 326 From:Phx, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 05-06-2001 06:22 PM I just started skimming through that massive Adobe file they call the manual for the level editor, and I was curious if I could do scripted scenes in custom levels. I don't mean camera pans and fly-bys, I mean straight-up, the AI takes control of Lara, makes her dash towards an enemy, guns blazing, does a rolling dive, kicks the guy in the shins, kills him with a barrage of bullets, and then control is given back to the player (or something like that) -- i.e., I could script out an entirely-AI-driven level, where the "player" just watches Lara do insane stunts, as scripted by yours truly (after I design a level, of course). Is it possible? Thanks in advance. ------------------ Xenomrph Webmaster/Administrator: The Aliens Online Encyclopedia IP: Logged

Nobody has made sucha program eighter, but if there are some real hardcore programmers out there, maybe in the future..... btw: I'm wondering if the cut-scenes were ALSO made with 3dsmax.... well, keep hoping dude! ------------------ Custom TR levels, textures and other TR goodies on www.driber.cjb.net [This message has been edited by Driber_IF (edited 05-06-2001).] IP: Logged

And in TR4/5 they were IN the *.tr4 file! So I think that thay must have edited the cut-scenes with the editor....if you know, what I mean........ Fips ------------------ IP: Logged

Thanks for the help, and I'll keep my eyes open. ------------------ Xenomrph Webmaster/Administrator: The Aliens Online Encyclopedia IP: Logged
