Hey guys. Asking for some help again. I was wondering how I can play a sound AFTER a story zone video. I have both the story zone and sound zone trigger in the exact same spot: where the player spawns, but when the game starts, the sound plays during the video. I'd prefer that the sound play directly after the story zone finished. What can I do to fix this? Thanks!

You would have to do this with a script... Im not exactly a scripting savant but try looking at some tutorials to get youself introduced to the fpi language.

Basically youd have to wirite a script that tells the zone to play the video and after the video is over play the sound.

Quite simple.



Attach to a trigger zone. Player hits the zone and the video plays. The script currently is set to then play sound after 60 seconds. Adjust to fit your video length. If the video is 20 seconds, then set the "state=2,etimergreater" to 21 seconds (21000), or whatever you need.

Or... you could use the "storyinzone.fpi" script and modify the properties of the story zone trigger by specifying the sound file and video file in the properties. I switched the "sound=0$" to come after the "video=1$" and it works for me.

Thank you! It works. However, I have one more problem, and I really didn't wanna make yet another topic. I'm thiiiis close to releasing a demo, but for whatever reason, this current version has a problem with the loading screen. Once the loading finishes, the loading sound still plays over the cutscene I placed. This hasn't happened with any of the other build's that I've made. What can I do to fix this so I can finally release a demo?
