What I'm gonna try is put a video just after(Or on top of) the winzone. Try that. I'm away from my FPSC computer right now... so, I'll try it when I get back to it. You try it, it might work.

Okay... what you could try is altering the script behind the winzone, having it play a movie.

If the script doesn't work, you could try what Orrion Carn suggested and have a Story Zone inside of the winzone... My first thought on this is that the "Level Complete" code may or may not override the running video.

What you could try doing is setting up a story zone where you want the end of the level to be, have the video run, but alter the script to move the player somewhere else when it finishes. That will move the player to the winzone.

They all seem like plausable ideas, but I can't try them out atm.

I have put a story zone on top of a win zone many times before. The video plays first, and then the level ends. Works like a charm.

Maybe it works but two zones in the smae place is just messy so heres a a better idea place a video zone and set the is objective propertie to 2 thne you have one zone and that should work the same

Thanks

Hehehe, Storm 6k, since when have game developers EVER worried about tidiness before the optimization phase of the project?

Lol

yeh lol the priority is to attempt to get the darn thing to work first!

Then we add the fine-tuning and polish.
