Scripted Cutscenes Confusion

[THEkatinamicrowave]

tryna make a cutscene using cutscene script

both cutscenes exist

but whenever I try to reload the game, it doesn't play the cutscene

help

assuming that your difficulties are blended and nuclear, rename cutscene-blended.mp4 and cutscene-nuclear.mp4 to blended-cutscene.mp4 and nuclear-cutscene.mp4 and do:

function postCreate()
    startCutscene(PlayState.difficulty.toLowerCase(), null, null, true);

replace the second null with a function to run after the cutscene ends if you want and replace that true if you want the cutscene to run everytime you restart the song even if you've already finished watching it

i cant test directly so tell me if it works

[THEkatinamicrowave]

is this that?

[NexIsDumb]

ohhhhh
you're running everything from cutscene.hx, the script activates after postCreate()
either try to just place the start video func in create() (which is a different call from the playstate create() dw) or just place it outside of any kind of function

[THEkatinamicrowave]

k so I did this

the video now plays, but the substate never closes. I tried adding close() as the startVideo() callback, but that just closes the substate immediately, making me blind until the cutscene ends
also the trace statement only happens after the cutscene stops playing so what's up with that

[NexIsDumb]

okay first of all, dont use the get_ function directly, its a getter, just use trace(isVideoPlaying)

and what you did there with close() isnt passing the function, you just executed the function, for passing functions just either pass it without parenthesis or () -> close()
