Universal Fighting Engine Forum → Source Coding → Help with implementing Cut Scene for Super Attacks
Hello;
I need help with implementing a Cut Scene for Super Attacks. I want a full screen cut scene before a player executes a super move. I tried cinematic camera, particles, even projections to a move. None of these work because the cut scene animation is tied to the player; the player is far away then the cut scene shows part of the Battle gui.
Please advise.

How are you performing your cutscene... or how do you want your cutscene to run?

@MrPonton I want the game to freeze, show a cut scene animation takes up the full screen. Once the animation has finished, the game and super move resumes. As of now the animation doesn't take up the full screen if the character is very far away or if the opponent jumps in the air.

I'm sorry, I'm just not clearly understanding what it is you want so I apologize for the clarification questions I'm asking.
When you say "take up full screen" do you mean you have a video file you want to play on the camera at full screen? or do you mean you want to zoom the camera into a specified area through perhaps an animation?

I figured it out without going into the source code.
I created the cutscene animation as a prefab and put in the particles section. I set the Cinematic camera to freeze. And I added extra frames in my move animation to make the attack appear that it's paused while the cut scene is playing. When the cutscene is done playing then the move animation continues.

You could probably also use custom source code in that particle to freeze the game while the cinematic plays by looking for OnMove() and setting booleans there for use in the Update(), then resuming gameplay once cinematic is done. Just theoretically.

Also, I'm fairly sure you're using UFE2 not UFE1.8 so this is in the wrong forum board.

@MrPonton: Yes I'm using UFE2. My apologizes if this is in the wrong forum board.
Please, where's function to "freeze the game"? Is it a public function? My solution doesn't work as I originally thought. It works one time the whole game breaks when I try it again. The Cinematic camera from the Move Editor breaks the game on occasion.

I'm speaking off hand from memory but I believe it's in the UFE class as a static method. UFE.Pause() or something.

UFE.PauseGame(true/false)
and
UFE.IsPaused()
are what you'll probably need in conjunction with the event OnMove(MoveInfo move, CharacterInfo player) which will trigger whenever a move is performed. You'd probably want to use that to check if the specific move has been triggered, from there you can probably set a boolean that it has been triggered so the Update() of the custom script can do its logic for the cinematic to pause the game, run the cinematic, resume the game when cinematic has ended, and clear the trigger.
Conceptually thinking.

HALLELUJAH, IT WORKS!!!!!
I unchecked Freeze Physics from Camera Options and I used "UFE.timeScale = 0" and "UFE.timeScale = UFE.config._gameSpeed" instead of UFE.PauseGame(true/false) to keep the pause message boxes from appearing.
Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!

Yup, people often overlook the event handler methods, they allow you to do a lot of customization.

Yeah, you can also make a global custom method that does it's own "Pause(true/false)" if you find it so you don't have to call those lines specifically every time.
