Animated Cutscenes? and NPCs ...and Music
« on: December 04, 2009, 14:18:43 »
I hope this is the right place to post this, but I was curious if there was a possible way to create animated cutscenes, and how do I do this?

This is for a college project and it's due sometime at the end of the month, so I hope for an answer very soon, thank you  :^^:

Also, I'm curious to know if you can actually set motion paths and actions for NPCs outside of cutscenes

Edit: One more thing, about music, will anything work as long as it's in .ogg format? Or will I need to name it something specifically like 'song21'

If this is for KS, then it should be in this board.
Anyways, there is a thread about animated cutscenes here.
Custom music and ambience has to be named Song# (# being a number between 0-225), or KS won't be able to find it.

Edit to answer all of the questions
Nope, you can't set motion paths for any object in the game. You can always animate your own though.
