When entering a story zone, the video will play only once. How do I get the video to play each time a user enters the zone?

try adding this to the script.



The last line will force the script to start over so the next time you are in the story zone it should fire off the video again.
Not tested.

Hope this helps

Thanks Pirate Myke. That sort of worked. Ik get stuck however in an infinite loop of the same video over and over, because it's impossible to leave the zone before the video restarts.

Is there a way to play an AVI in FPSC without using a storyzone? Or is there a way to activate a storyzone without actually being in it?

Woops never mind. Solved it by using a switch, copying the script and adding video=blahblahblah to it.

There are probably several different ways to do this and I'm glad you got this working to your satisfaction.

I just wanted to revise what PM had suggested. The code in state #1 is a common mistake for zones. I did the same thing when I first used zones. Revise this code ":state=1:state=0" to

:state=1,plriwthinzone=0:state=0

and it will work like a charm.

I am sure PM is now hitting himself for this.

THEORY - you know everything but nothing works. PRACTICE - when everything works but don't know why. For me, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and I don't know why.
