Is there a way to write a script to show a movie if an area of the mainhall is clicked, (not the ani that is shown during the mouse over).  I have a new mainhall scene and would like to add this feature but I suck at scripting and need some help.

thanks

AFAICT, there is no function currently in the scripting API that would allow that. It's probably possible to implement it, but that takes a bit of coding.

Well crap! (spins out of control and hits the wall)

What effect do you wish to achieve? There may be a workaround...

First, thanks for your help.
 
The 20,000 ft overview is essentially that there is a video describing the mission you should fly, instead of a briefing screen.

The thought was that this would be lauched from the mainhall.  The overall affect was to make the enviroment a little more immersive.

According to karajorma, it is possible to do just that (play a movie before a briefing) in 3.6.11. You'd have to ask him how that works, though.

You'd probably still need a briefing, though, since using the "No Briefing" flag in FRED will not only skip the Briefing, but the ship/weapon select screen as well.

Thank you.  Actually that is exactly what I want.  I guess I am a control freak or something because I don't want the player to access the weapons load out either.

Things are looking up.  Go 3.6.11!!
