Welcome Cutscene

Getting started

I have created an event called: startWelcomeCutscene - the First parameter is the Gender - 0 = Male, 1 = Female, the Second parameter is the name shown during the welcome process (This can be null)

To include a name on the Welcome Screen using Draw Text when the Plane appears use. Be sure to edit the variable: ServerName (Line 9)

//Server Side
player.call("startWelcomeCutscene",[0,"John"])

//Client Side
mp.events.call("startWelcomeCutscene", 0, "John");

To just simply show the Welcome Screen (no name shown)

//Server Side
player.call("startWelcomeCutscene", [0])

//Client Side
mp.events.call("startWelcomeCutscene", [0]);

This will then start a screen fade out, load the correct items, clone your player for the cutscene, remove unnecessary players from the movie and then being cutscene.

 

 

Once the movie has finished it will call: 

//Clientside
mp.events.add("cutsceneEnded", () => {
	// Do something like new camera etc
});

//Serverside
mp.events.add("cutsceneEnded", (player) => {
	// Spawn Player
});

So be sure to add this either Serverside or Clientside as it does both: call and callRemote for this function.

I would recommend trigger your Spawn Process after the "cutsceneEnded" event.

Things to note:

• If the server crashes - the jet may get left in the cutscene (even after re-log) - Action: Reload Game
• I have tried triggering mp.game.cam.doScreenFadeOut(100); when the cutscene is finished however I had no luck.
• However if your screen does go black, just call: mp.game.cam.doScreenFadeIn(0);

Line 6963 shows you how to register certain models and also how to hide models (using Male and Female as example)
