    Hi, why exactly do you want to do that ?
    It's not possible yet, also if you want to export your game, all videos are renamed.

    I don't think we have a function for playing videos with lua.

    We have startAnimation, startSound & startAction. I believe that is all of the ones we currently have available.

    See: here for all available (exclusive) player functions.

    Sorry.

    ok, no problem. I have a script that check a variable, if this is true, play video...

    if getObject("Conditions[boat_puzzleFault?]"):getBool(VConditionValue) == true then
getObject("Conditions[boat_puzzlePassed?]"):setValue(VConditionValue, false)
(play video here)
else
....
end


    I have solved with a alternative.

    Thanks.

    You could create a called by other action for it inside of the editor containing the play video action.

    By the way: Simon sorted out short-hand lua script code for Visionaire Studio 4.1 plus.

    if Conditions["boat_puzzleFault"].ConditionValue then
 Conditions["boat_puzzlePassed"].ConditionValue = true
 startAction("Actions[action_name]")
else
 -- add else actions here or just remove this line & else if not needed.
end

    also... you can access data tables without using ["object_name"] too.
    Conditions.condition_name.ConditionValue = false

    ...although some of the table names are different when using short-hand.
    Values["value_name"].Int -- Int instead of ValueInt or VValueInt
Values["value_name"].String instead of ValueString or VValueString
-- etc...
