I'm sorry to be noobish but just out of curiosity, can anyone please tell me (and of course anyone else who wishes to read this post) what a story zone does?
Thanks...

Take your link and put [img ]<link name>[/img ]

Don't put spaces between g and ]

Your sig is much too large though. The maximum size is 600x120.

Might aswell not make a new thread but just ask here.

For my game I was thinking about cutscenes but without playing a movie. What I want is a story zone how you're stuck in place and all you hear is talking from the character in front of you.

Would I use story zones or trigger zones and how would I make my character stay in place?

Alright so when I get to the reception area in my game I use the freeze command and I won't be able to move and it will play an audio clip if I place a story zone?

Use a sound zone if you just want audio.

Okay so I add a sound zone playing my audio and add a trigger zone having the freeze command.

Or, you could just have the triggerzone play the sound at the time it freezes the player. That'd be easier to script and set up.
