Is this possible?

[DarthJebus05]

When the PC and party members get to a certain location, the screen fades to black twice (so it fades to black, then you see the screen again, then fades again) and then a dialog starts?

 

Thanks,

Well, if it happens....then duh. Seriously, may just be buggy is all. What location specifically (or has this happened in multiple spots) and which game?

I think he's trying to make it work, I don't think it was a bug he found.

Maybe you should give this script a try, Jeb:

 

//:: k_swg_bastila29
/*
   Simple fade to black. . .
*/
//:: Created By:
//:: Copyright (c) 2002 Bioware Corp.

#include "k_inc_debug"
void main()
{
   ActionPauseConversation();
   SetGlobalFadeIn(0.0, 1.5);
   ActionWait(1.5);
   ActionResumeConversation();
}

 

It is the fade to black sequence for the Bastila Romance scene on the Ebon Hawk. How you attach a script to a trigger you already know, I guess.

The easiest way of doing this is probably to create a trigger at the location where you want the fade and conversation start to happen. Then use an OnEnter event script set on the trigger to do the fading and start the dialog.

 

Something like:

void main() {
   [color=PaleGreen]// ST: The player controlled character is tripping the trigger[/color]
   if (!GetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40) && (GetEnteringObject() == GetPartyMemberByIndex(0))) {
       [color=PaleGreen]// ST: prevent it from happening more than once.[/color]
       SetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 40, TRUE);

       [color=PaleGreen]// ST: Fade to black for 2 seconds, then fade back in[/color]
       SetGlobalFadeOut(0.0, 2.0);
       SetGlobalFadeIn(2.0, 2.0);

       [color=PaleGreen]// ST: Fade to black again for 2 seconds[/color]
       SetGlobalFadeOut(4.0, 2.0);
       SetGlobalFadeIn(6.0, 0.0);  

       [color=PaleGreen]// ST: Start conversation at the end of the second fade[/color]
       object oNPC = GetObjectByTag("[color=Yellow]TagOfNpc[/color]");
       DelayCommand(6.0, AssignCommand(oNPC, ClearAllActions()));
       DelayCommand(6.0, AssignCommand(oNPC, ActionStartConversation(GetFirstPC(), "[color=Orange]DialogFile[/color]", FALSE, CONVERSATION_TYPE_CINEMATIC, TRUE)));
   }
}

 

Where you change TagOfNpc to the tag of the NPC to start the dialog with, and DialogFile to the name of the DLG file containing the conversation.

Thanks you guys, I'll test them out soon and give you the feedback on if it worked or not.

Good point. Sorry, Jeb.
