Title: Cutscenes and no messages...
Post by: bomb3rman on August 21, 2017, 04:09:01 pm

Hi, I'm trying to create a cutscene as an intro. Works well (camera etc..), but when I want to display a message it doesn't appear... I can give it a "beep" and hear it, but can't see it...

I used a .tga image to be shown as a subtitle image before the messages, could this be a problem somehow? I'm kinda lost here...  :wtf:

Did you disable the HUD before starting the cutscene? If yes then you probably used the hud-disable SEXP. If you use hud-disable-except-messages then messages will still show up but the rest of the HUD will be hidden.

Not only that, you might want to take a look at show-subtitile-text and show-subtitle-image: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Advanced_Cutscene_SEXP_Reference (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Advanced_Cutscene_SEXP_Reference).
