How to make a cutscene

Cutscenes can utilize a multitude of different actions, which include:

• Move camera
• Shake camera
• Reset camera position
• Move camera
• Fade transition
• Set NPC/Player direction
• Set NPC/Player movement animations
• Play NPC/Player animation
• Move NPC/Player
• Toggle player movement
• Wait timer

Depending on the type of cutscene you want to make, it will change what actions you will need. For example, let’s say you wanted to make a cutscene where the camera moves, then returns, but the player doesn’t move during the time the camera is gone, you could do something like this:

    - Toggle player movement [Disable]
    - Move camera [x, y]
    - Wait timer [time]
    - Reset camera position
    - Toggle player movement [Enable]

Now what if you wanted to make a cutscene where the player automatically walks to the location? You could do something like this:

  - Toggle player movement [Disable]
  - Move camera [x, y, Reset after completion unchecked]
  - Move Player [x, y]
  - Move NPC [x, y]
  - Dialogue

  ... additional cutscene actions

  (When cutscene is done)
  - Toggle player movement [Enable]
  - Reset camera position

Note: Reset after completion moves the camera back after it goes to where you moved it.
