you should monitor the player's xyz location in your main loop and when they reach a specific predetermined point, or within a range, launch the avi

well ive tried to trigger it when the camera's x+z cordinates match that of an object this doesnt seem to work (im new at coding so bear wit me)...

cam_posx = camera position x ()
cam_posZ = camera position Z ()
obj_posX = object position X (?)
obj_posz = object position z (?)

if cam_posx and cam_posz = obj_posX and obj_pos z
play animation (?)

also, are you sure the camera can reach the exact coordinates?
you should print the values to the screen in the main loop so you can see if the camera hits the values you expect.
