Title: Cinematic Problem
Post by: eliex on August 02, 2008, 02:30:21 am
Hello, excuse me in advance if what I'm asking is odd.

 I'm using an Inferno FRED build, 3.6.10 and I'm trying to create a cinematic to conclude my campaign.
 The problem I have is making subtitles for the player to read.

 (I have opened up Blue Planet, Intro cinematic as a guide)

When I first open up the SEXP show-subtitle, I can only get 4 arguments.
                1:   X position (negative value to be from right of screen)
   2:   Y position (negative value to be from bottom of screen)
   3:   Text to display
   4:   Time to be displayed, not including fadein/out

 In the Blue Planet Intro in an event there are 6 arguments, but whatever I try, I can't get the arguments to increase to 6 from 4.
 Sorry, I can't show you what I mean with pics of the Events editor I don't know how to upload them here.

 How do you increase the arguments in a show-subtitle SEXP? Thx

Do you try right-clicking on "-show-subtitle"?  It should give you an option for "Add Data--><any string>"

Nice nuclear.

By the way, could you tell me how to access the models of the FS1 ships, like the PVF Anubis?

 Anyway, I'm collecting all the information into a Word document so don't worry, I'll only as things once.  ;)
