Non-Uninterruptible cutscenes (SOLVED in V5 only)

  • #1, by brut69Saturday, 20. May 2017, 13:24 7 years ago
    Is there a way to disallow the player to skip cutscenes by clicking the ESC button?


    ps

    I am on V4 since V5 is buggy for me

    you could add this as a definition script:

    function keyboardHandler(eventType, character, keycode, modifiers)
  if not Conditions["k_esc"].ConditionValue and keycode == eKeyEscape then return true
  end 
end

registerEventHandler("keyEvent", "keyboardHandler")


    Before i start cutscenes i set the condition "k_esc" to false and afterwards to true.

    Doesn't work on V4 but thank you though
    I get this error:

    Warning: Unsupported event 'keyEvent'.

    this should work in V4 (i used it since 4.2 - it should work since 3.6)... There must be something else missing/wrong... 
    Maybe add a "return false" before the last "end"


    Do you have already a keyboard handler script in your project?

    If you look up keyboard handler you will find some more topics related to it.

    It works on 5 though (just tested).

    Just tried this : 

    function keyboardHandler(eventType, character, keycode, modifiers)



  if keycode == eKeyEscape then

   
    return true

  end

  return false  
end 
     
    Which is a simpler version of what you wrote above ... Still not working 
    The "keyEvent" is not recognised in 4.01 even though it says that it should work from 3.6
    This it he only script that I have btw. I deleted the other ones for testing purposes
    Here is the Log file :

    No, registerEventHandler might have been added in 3.6, but keyEvent wasn't added until some point in 4.x. I don't remember which version, but probably around 4.1 or 4.2 maybe? I forget, sorry.

    I would not bet that there will be a fix for this VS4.X in any way...
    Maybe there is a workaround for older versions.

    Yes, there is. Use hide/show cursor wrapper instead of begin/end cutscene wrappers as cursor one can't be skipped with ESC - it actually kills all key input, though texts can still be skipped by left clicking if you enabled the option for it inside of the game properties tab.

    What about putting (kann man das sagen? *lol*) an action to stop animations into the "esc"-button?

    Cool! I will try that and let you know
