How i can make when the player touch a trigger volume, a cutscene starts (I know how to create cutscenes but no with trigger volumes) and, while the cutscene is working, how i can create a chief walking in the cutscene you know like the lumoria cutscenes or campaign levels. THANKS

getting on laptop in a sec. Will post basic cutscene script.

Here ya go:

(sleep_until (volume_test_objects cutscene_start (players)) 15)
(game_save_totally_unsafe) ;not neccessary
(fade_out 1 1 1 30)
(player_enable_input 0)
(garbage_collect_now) ; cleans the map a bit
(rasterizer_decals_flush); cleans the map a bit
(sound_looping_start levels\d40\music\d40_08 none 1) ; epic music
(sleep 60)
(object_teleport (unit (list_get (players) 0)) hide) ; if you need to teleport the player away send them to a cutscene flag
(cinematic_start)
(cinematic_show_letterbox 1)
(camera_control 1)
(camera_set cam1 30)
(sleep 30)
(fade_in 1 1 1 30)
(sleep 60)
(camera_set cam2 90)
(sleep 60)
(fade_out 1 1 1 30)
(object_teleport (unit (list_get (players) 0)) cutscene_end) ;teleport the player back (if neccessary
(cinematic_show_letterbox 0)
(cinematic_stop)
(garbage_collect_now)
(rasterizer_decals_flush) :cleans again
(sleep 30)
(camera_control 0)
(fade_in 1 1 1 30)
(player_enable_input 1)


Also if you have ai in a cutscene and you don't want them to die use:

(ai_playfight middle_marines true)
(ai_playfight middle_covenant true)

and just replace true with false at the end of ur cutscene

Ok thanks, but the problem is that theres no camera movement, and thers no chief walking in the scene the only thing working are the fade effects :S

Did you put in cam points??

Yeah, i create 5 cameras points in the video.

U may have forgetten the sleep command between each camera_set command. please explain in more detail

Here is one i used in b30 to make the odst jump off the map.

(script dormant cut_two
(fade_out 1 1 1 30)
(player_enable_input 0)
(camera_control 1)
(cinematic_start)
(cinematic_show_letterbox true)
(camera_set cam5 0)
(object_teleport (unit (list_get (players) 0)) nav2)
(ai_place player2)
(fade_in 1 1 1 30)
(ai_command_list player2 jump)
(camera_set cam6 100)
(sleep 300)
(fade_out 1 1 1 30)
(sound_looping_stop sound\halo2\music\inamberclad1\in_amber_clad)
(map_name b40)

The sound looping was already playing.

Hold on ead Noob! This guy can't get cam movement going yet, lets save the fancy stuff for later

Then the number is wrong in the set cam maybe.

Use this command at the beginning of the level, right before any other cameras:

(object_pvs_set_camera loadbipeds)

Make a camera point called loadbipeds, and have it looking at the entire map.
What this will do is load everything that it sees, and it should make it work.

Did you play the lumoria single player map?! Ok at the beginning there is a cutscene, where master chief is walking and start talking with marines, i want to know how to do that

That's how.

still not working :S

Do you have a biped with an ai attached with a command list?

U can just use actor_varients and make them deaf and blind and they will do a command list.
Script (ai_command_list master_chief hello)
Hello=Command_list found in ai
master_chief= an encouter that is deaf and blind.

Just wondering, but why the hell is your name Head Noob???

I can't remember but it was something to do with halo 3. I was playing it a my friend called me a noob for chuking a plasma gnade at a brute and he moved and i stuk my friend who was behind. So he called me HeadNoob. I liked that name so i use it for everything but xfire because someone else has the name of headnoob.

oh great. So i just added a random ped on xfire???

NO! I donpt have an Ai attached to a command list :S o hell, i only know how to create normal cutscenes but no with bipeds and that stuff
