00:00:00
and action well hello everybody welcome
00:00:05
to another episode of hotline Miami 2
00:00:06
level letter tutorials
00:00:08
I'm your host Rob salmon and this is
00:00:12
Matt so Rob I got a question for you
00:00:15
what question would that be met so I got
00:00:18
this dope ass combat level it's really
00:00:22
great but I'm going to add it intro
00:00:24
cutscene for it how do I go about doing
00:00:27
that I'm Matt well let me show you a
00:00:30
cutscenes is a different beast starters
00:00:33
is a whole different menu for it so
00:00:36
let's open up let's open up this little
00:00:39
test level stuff be showing you how to
00:00:41
make beautiful levels beautiful combat
00:00:43
levels with perfect enemy placement and
00:00:45
we're sure you've already mastered that
00:00:46
so now you want to make yourself a
00:00:48
campaign because you know there's single
00:00:50
levels and aren't really doing it for
00:00:51
you well then we open up the cutscene
00:00:54
creator to open that either open it in
00:00:57
the tabs under level create cutscene or
00:01:00
the hotkey which is what I recommend
00:01:01
ctrl alt C and boom now we have two
00:01:05
additional tabs right here
00:01:08
frames and NPCs now the whole meat of
00:01:12
the cutscene its frames triggers actions
00:01:15
and then most is your you'll mostly use
00:01:18
dialog pretty much everything else is to
00:01:20
make the level looks or the cutscene
00:01:22
look fancy and have a bit more character
00:01:24
but dialogue it's just important so
00:01:28
about we need to understand the
00:01:31
mechanics of the frames advantage now
00:01:33
the frame all happen in order from zero
00:01:36
to whichever and within each frame
00:01:38
there's you're going to have your action
00:01:41
which is going to tell you what to do so
00:01:42
the first thing you want to do is your
00:01:44
triggers nothing gets done until your
00:01:47
character activates a trigger so to add
00:01:50
a trigger you click the add trigger
00:01:52
button and click and drag your rectangle
00:01:56
if you don't like where you put it you
00:01:58
can click it again it's really Andrey
00:02:03
click it like that and boom so now that
00:02:09
you have a trigger until you tell it to
00:02:12
end this cut thing that trigger will be
00:02:15
there and you won't see this when you're
00:02:17
actually playing so make sure that your
00:02:20
player character will be able to go to
00:02:22
it without having prior knowledge of the
00:02:23
location of the trigger so like right
00:02:27
behind the door like this it works
00:02:28
perfectly so now that you have to frame
00:02:31
one or frame 0 it's set for you already
00:02:34
and so you're going to choose what kind
00:02:36
of action you want so the action is add
00:02:40
dialogue wait play sounds music stop
00:02:44
music and then these two here in the
00:02:48
level or you can activate items which I
00:02:51
think will do that like flat yeah I know
00:02:54
if you said it was friend zero it is
00:02:56
considered your friend 1 yeah everything
00:02:59
goes starts from 0 it's more of like a
00:03:04
look a computer nerd kind of thing you
00:03:07
always start with
00:03:09
so the most important one is dialogue
00:03:12
but before you add dialogue you want to
00:03:13
make sure your NPCs are plays these are
00:03:16
all the non player characters that
00:03:19
interact with the character in the
00:03:20
country and to place one down first
00:03:24
you'll want to give them a name so we're
00:03:26
going to call this guy
00:03:28
these hello Steve and you click this bar
00:03:31
here to choose and you have pretty much
00:03:32
access to most of the sprites in the
00:03:34
game in alphabetical order and you can
00:03:38
click it in this window will preview it
00:03:41
so find a lot of them it's kind of hard
00:03:46
to justify PC but eventually you find it
00:03:52
and you can either you can scroll
00:03:53
through with the amounts cool to go a
00:03:55
lot faster so do the writers sitting
00:03:59
down and shift right mouse button get
00:04:03
them to rotate and 90 degrees
00:04:06
I don't you can't place them in angles
00:04:08
for whatever reason yeah they are just
00:04:11
like straight shot like yeah just based
00:04:13
on 90 degrees like you see then he's
00:04:16
gonna be doing some hats with squats
00:04:18
behind this desk and then once you've
00:04:22
got him play or before you place them
00:04:25
you can choose if you wanted to be solid
00:04:27
or killable solid means you can either
00:04:30
walk through more not killable
00:04:32
self-explanatory but if you did what I
00:04:34
just did and forget to choose what you
00:04:37
want before you set them down you can
00:04:39
right-click on him and go to properties
00:04:41
and click them you can also rename them
00:04:46
change his sprite and change the player
00:04:48
bullets or enemy bullets the I think the
00:04:51
only difference is player bullets can
00:04:53
kill enemies but enemy bullets can only
00:04:55
kill the player whereas player bullets
00:04:57
can kill both it doesn't really matter
00:05:00
unless your characters attacking now
00:05:04
also most NPC's I'm not sure if I want
00:05:08
to say most but the lot of PCs that
00:05:09
can't they don't have a death sprite so
00:05:12
like if the writer has a death sprite
00:05:16
but say I was to choose
00:05:18
for character to the court reporter oops
00:05:21
or the copy / click copy flash clerk
00:05:25
doesn't die McGee thank you truck and so
00:05:29
if I chose for him to die it nothing
00:05:32
will happen keep in mind with utility
00:05:36
one time [ __ ] Christ
00:05:40
um yeah so Robert says basically any
00:05:44
playable character in part of writer etc
00:05:48
is gonna have a total surprise but
00:05:50
something like you choose a Andy the NPC
00:05:52
his like he's not gonna have to that's
00:05:55
right so yeah also if you forget to name
00:05:58
your character it'll just be like
00:05:59
character one two three and it'll name
00:06:01
before you it's probably best if you
00:06:03
name them so you don't lose track of
00:06:04
who's who so now that you've placed them
00:06:08
you can choose your actions so actually
00:06:14
I want to branch off on something so
00:06:16
basically you say you have a cutscene
00:06:18
with a large crowd of people instead of
00:06:21
having to go to the NPC tabs in the
00:06:24
cutscene other considered maybe we cover
00:06:28
this in the previous video but and the
00:06:30
main editing screen the tab with the
00:06:35
items where you can just place the
00:06:37
people and with that is that any NPC
00:06:41
that's not going to be in your cutscene
00:06:43
or interacting you simply had them add
00:06:45
like a background but first yeah based
00:06:49
like that and obviously we talked about
00:06:52
like the animation screen but if you
00:06:54
just leave it to zero and just have like
00:06:55
an idle gang member on the side or maybe
00:06:58
he's smoking of course it's something
00:07:01
that you don't have to worry about
00:07:03
because when we get into dialogue you're
00:07:06
gonna have a list of all the NPC's that
00:07:08
you place down and if you have like 14
00:07:11
people and all this is a lot to use so
00:07:14
again consider using the people
00:07:16
sike I've just to use yeah and that
00:07:19
could be confusing because I can have
00:07:22
the writer sitting like it's the same
00:07:29
sex sprite but it's not because this one
00:07:32
it's treated as an object like a couch
00:07:35
would be instead of an NPC so I can I
00:07:37
can rotate them all the way but like I
00:07:39
won't be able to right-click on them and
00:07:40
he won't be able to talk to the
00:07:42
character remove the camera tone yeah
00:07:46
like I said the only time I use the good
00:07:48
people is just for like those bystanders
00:07:51
look again like just a person smoking
00:07:52
outside but yeah so before we go into
00:07:57
dialogue I want to show you how the
00:07:58
frames work your so when you hit add
00:08:02
action from this location you're going
00:08:04
to get actions that are like the general
00:08:06
to the level like everything pause which
00:08:09
is the weight but nothing that goes on
00:08:11
during that time all right it can if you
00:08:14
have other actions within the frame as
00:08:19
but the weight just kind of like so if I
00:08:21
click it in a two seven frames no matter
00:08:24
what happens is well in the frame at
00:08:27
least seven seconds we're gonna pass is
00:08:29
what and then place sounds you have
00:08:33
access to pretty much every sound and
00:08:35
the game so you can line this up at the
00:08:38
same time with something and you can
00:08:42
preview I'm sorry I chose such a bad one
00:08:46
for example there and then yeah play
00:08:50
music it's the same exact concept so I
00:08:54
don't if you don't remember what the
00:08:56
sound in the face of evil was and it'll
00:09:07
so like if you do that like the song
00:09:09
that's currently playing will instantly
00:09:11
start or stop and this one will start
00:09:13
stop music pretty obvious you can have
00:09:16
an instant or have it fade all the way
00:09:18
to ten seconds and then it'll just be
00:09:21
silent until you tell it to add another
00:09:22
music
00:09:23
and then stop sequence in next level
00:09:28
we'll get to those in just a sec because
00:09:30
those that's how you once you're done
00:09:32
with everything you move on so let's
00:09:35
have the character walk in and they will
00:09:40
they will don't feel a real sound though
00:09:43
here's the shotgun sound for no apparent
00:09:48
reason and then if you have found that
00:09:54
sound will play and it'll go straight to
00:09:57
the next frame unless you have a weight
00:10:01
so that's shotgun it's sort of like a
00:10:03
second long so you click weight you go
00:10:05
to about a second and you won't be able
00:10:08
to move for that second as you listen to
00:10:10
the shotgun first before the next action
00:10:13
which we can have like you can have like
00:10:18
a song fly so I've got my song songs
00:10:21
turned off right now so that won't
00:10:22
that's not really a good example so that
00:10:25
bring that's a good transition to the
00:10:27
other kind of actions which is the NPC
00:10:28
actions so either on the player
00:10:30
character or NPCs you can click and
00:10:33
you'll have a whole host of new options
00:10:35
and click which is walk to change draw
00:10:39
animate sprite attack die so on and so
00:10:42
on so the walk to one you want you care
00:10:45
if you want to take a hold of the player
00:10:47
character or any entities that you have
00:10:48
them so you'll get this flashing little
00:10:52
bar with a waypoint in the circle turn
00:10:54
is like the weight limit so you click it
00:10:57
and they'll walk in a straight line to
00:10:58
this point and you have to keep yep like
00:11:01
a limit I'm not showing on 1 2 3 4 5 6 5
00:11:07
9 yeah sorry to bring up the menu for
00:11:11
the you can sees in the player character
00:11:12
visit you right-click I know you look
00:11:28
you right-click when you're finished so
00:11:30
if I want them told once he walks
00:11:32
through this door he will stop here and
00:11:36
then turn and then look at the camera
00:11:38
and then right click and you're done and
00:11:40
that's how you choose the speed fast is
00:11:43
like blindingly fast almost humorous
00:11:45
normal is like the normal during the
00:11:48
combat and then slow is like if you want
00:11:52
to kiss right yes if you want the
00:11:53
character look normal
00:11:54
you're going to choose slow and then hit
00:11:57
okay if you don't like how you set it up
00:11:58
you get redo and then we'll add another
00:12:01
frame there's nothing else happens
00:12:03
nothing else happen at that exact time
00:12:04
so okay I guess we had an error in
00:12:15
recording and so I'm just gonna I'm just
00:12:18
redoing this part real quick because the
00:12:20
dialogue is important to teach you guys
00:12:22
so we have hammer walk up to Evan and so
00:12:26
we now we've had we have the next frame
00:12:29
so this is done walking the next action
00:12:32
will occur which will have dialogue and
00:12:34
so we're going to have hammer ask
00:12:37
hey Evan House Dawei
00:12:44
how the financially knew how to type
00:12:56
and you see these two lines here the two
00:13:00
lines and the dialogue on each page a
00:13:03
dialogue that you'll see if you should
00:13:06
have you noted the cutscenes look like
00:13:08
and on them you will use two lines and
00:13:10
then you click to get to the next two
00:13:12
lines and the bubble is a head right
00:13:14
here
00:13:14
opening and closing its mouth and
00:13:16
blinking at you and so each time that
00:13:20
you want to have advance the next page
00:13:24
you click plot and then you can type in
00:13:27
the next line don't worry about the
00:13:30
click to edit you don't have to do
00:13:33
anything to get rid of these they if you
00:13:35
don't touch those boxes nothing's here
00:13:38
so then to get the hammer face click and
00:13:41
hold on this Square and just kind of
00:13:43
like push down until you find the face
00:13:46
you want and the order it goes into it
00:13:49
starts with almost I want to say like
00:13:51
order of a parent from the campaign of
00:13:53
what the main characters
00:13:55
it ends with hammer find then we get to
00:13:58
all of jackets mass like this and then
00:14:05
we get in alphabetical order all over
00:14:07
like the ancillary characters that only
00:14:09
appear a couple times in the game and at
00:14:11
the very bottom you get items like
00:14:14
papers and TVs and whatnot
00:14:18
go back
00:14:25
there we go right there okay so then we
00:14:29
want to respond right here and you can
00:14:32
you can jump back through them to the
00:14:34
arrows and the plus and minus get rid of
00:14:36
different pages so Evan we like and you
00:14:50
will find Evans face which is a bit
00:14:52
higher than hammers and it'll is it'll
00:14:56
be under writer instead of Evan the some
00:14:59
have names some have like their Thailand
00:15:02
and things writer and to the camera will
00:15:08
by default the over the player the whole
00:15:10
time but if you want it when the other
00:15:13
characters are talking you want to
00:15:15
select them so you click this box and
00:15:17
she's Evan image it's the name that you
00:15:19
gave that your PC I think I named him
00:15:21
Steve
00:15:22
in the rest of the video when I went
00:15:24
back in name loop Evan and if you're not
00:15:28
sure who you named they will be
00:15:31
highlighted don't ignore the player
00:15:33
character he's always highlighted for
00:15:35
some reason but so I'm highlighting Evan
00:15:38
can't see him because the stupid box is
00:15:40
that way but like let's say I hired
00:15:42
highlight Victor and seeing he's in full
00:15:45
color but everything else on highlighted
00:15:47
B's like dim so that's the best way if
00:15:49
you forget like who's supposed to be who
00:15:53
and then the other thing is you put in
00:15:58
two dots or three dots might have the
00:16:01
characters space will open its mouth
00:16:02
it'll just like sit there pause and it's
00:16:04
like to add like I guess a verbal pause
00:16:07
or stop waiting periods to like buffer
00:16:11
the dialogue a bit longer and it's put
00:16:16
anything else besides this he'll open
00:16:18
his mouth and whatnot this is how you
00:16:21
get just a single
00:16:23
let's say say then Steve here just
00:16:28
putting this character needs to copy
00:16:30
polish mechanic so we go all the way
00:16:31
down here find the C's copy clerk and
00:16:35
he's like add three dots plus word Mouse
00:16:42
mouth will move the only thing is just
00:16:45
three down and then you hit okay if
00:16:49
you're sure a warning you can't change
00:16:53
this once you get okay you'd have to go
00:16:55
back and retype it there is a way to
00:16:57
change it with notepad but that's you
00:16:59
know that's backdoor when it is no
00:17:00
official way to change the dialog once
00:17:02
you have it I don't even remember if we
00:17:05
talked about this yet but you have to go
00:17:08
in order when you're deleting frames so
00:17:11
so I say you mess up this walk cycle
00:17:13
after rarity of the dialog you have to
00:17:15
get rid of the dialog and the log cycle
00:17:17
to fix the walk cycle so be extra
00:17:19
careful before you think it's the next
00:17:21
thing but you're happy with it so I
00:17:23
would just like every frame you text the
00:17:27
cutscene with a control T to make sure
00:17:30
that you're not you know seven frames in
00:17:33
and realize you screwed up the walking
00:17:34
animation a character spacing or under
00:17:36
actioning of the difficulty
00:17:38
and so we preview this look for spelling
00:17:41
mistakes and why not my grammar is
00:17:44
perfect so we hit OK and then we'll add
00:17:47
the next trend so let's add I think what
00:17:51
I added was the applause sound for some
00:17:55
dumb [ __ ] reason and now if you're
00:17:58
not sure what if it sounds like the way
00:18:00
you want it perfect and so the wat
00:18:10
command works they haven't passed away
00:18:12
she looked me for Pardo and then he he
00:18:16
just kind of stares into you with the
00:18:17
cold dead eyes
00:18:19
this guy had this 2-cent comic's let's
00:18:25
see here the bed of anything seven feet
00:18:30
come walk and we'll have the raft over
00:18:33
here you want him like here so I want
00:18:42
him to walk up to me but you won't
00:18:47
the camera won't pan on him unless you
00:18:50
choose character five down here and now
00:18:54
during that duration he will walk to
00:18:56
hammer so let's let's show that shotgun
00:19:01
oh this bad boy up
00:19:10
[Applause]
00:19:13
oh yeah I forgot I forgot to leave the
00:19:15
trigger see problems about at meta is
00:19:20
actually a good window into the next
00:19:22
thing is if you make a mistake I have to
00:19:26
like delete everything up to that
00:19:27
mistake to get to it so luckily the most
00:19:31
recent thing I did was a mistake yeah
00:19:36
basically what he bought him right with
00:19:38
the delete frame delete actions just
00:19:40
like he said you can select or highlight
00:19:42
something that happened the very first
00:19:44
frame it's almost like you have to go in
00:19:47
order deleting so it's kind of India it
00:19:49
was pretty awful like say I did all this
00:19:51
and I was like yeah I don't like how
00:19:52
long do you wait I want to change that
00:19:54
60 frames to 200 frames you're gonna
00:19:58
have to get rid of all this and change
00:20:02
it so make sure you really get right on
00:20:04
the first same with dialogue there's no
00:20:06
spellcheck or like go back and edit the
00:20:08
dialogue ability in the vanilla editor
00:20:11
so make sure that like you proofread
00:20:13
everything that you're typing beforehand
00:20:15
there is and will cover and literally a
00:20:18
backdoor way to fix it but if I still
00:20:25
would say you know proofread before you
00:20:27
click okay because otherwise you're
00:20:28
gonna have to go see this other panels
00:20:30
method so wow I kind of had this great
00:20:34
idea where you know we talked about
00:20:36
having like an intro cutscene and that's
00:20:38
cool and all but what is in my combat
00:20:41
level in the very beginning I have this
00:20:44
like monologue with my character about
00:20:46
like revenge and it's like 36 lines of
00:20:49
cutscene and then the level starts is
00:20:52
that badass I think you should take that
00:20:54
idea and just shove it way up your
00:20:58
butthole because putting cutscenes
00:21:00
before [ __ ] combat levels is cancer
00:21:05
let me give you guys an example and
00:21:08
here's why here's why now there is a cup
00:21:12
there's a couple reasons why but the
00:21:14
most Street biggest reason is annoying
00:21:18
it's [ __ ]
00:21:19
to get pause each time look at this oh
00:21:23
wait now I didn't add anything to the
00:21:26
trigger
00:21:27
thanks I hate to how you can't pause
00:21:31
women but loading the level yeah like
00:21:34
you just let the sister it slip through
00:21:36
your mistake let's say something really
00:21:49
cool okay okay yes so say you've got
00:22:01
yourself a cool little cutscene your
00:22:02
characters going to say some badass
00:22:04
one-liner before he charges into action
00:22:07
let's show how that actually pans out so
00:22:10
your level your level start and hammers
00:22:13
like oh boy here I go killing again
00:22:15
he comes in kicking ass and [ __ ]
00:22:18
oh boy here goes going again alright so
00:22:21
if you ever ever think to put a cutscene
00:22:24
for combat level don't you don't do it
00:22:28
just stop okay thank you
00:22:32
you're [ __ ] wrong bro no seriously I
00:22:35
don't care how good your story is you
00:22:38
put a cutscene at the very beginning
00:22:39
like that you're fired
00:22:42
just leave just don't ever never ever do
00:22:46
it ever if you place if you place it at
00:22:51
the very end then there's a way so if
00:22:55
you make this door a cutscene door
00:23:00
so let's check off the cutscene mark
00:23:02
then no one can enter it until
00:23:04
everyone's dead you can put a cutscene
00:23:06
in this room that's acceptable but if
00:23:08
you're going to say something before you
00:23:10
finish fighting everybody that's not
00:23:12
acceptable
00:23:12
also it's a store say that doors are
00:23:15
there just a normal door and you trigger
00:23:17
that cutscene you can still be killed
00:23:19
while in that cutscene and then you'll
00:23:21
have to do that you'll have to restart
00:23:23
none of that is good yeah so you have to
00:23:25
be very mindful of what you do the other
00:23:29
thing is once if there's a cutscene on a
00:23:32
person's level if there's a cutscene on
00:23:37
a person's level then you're not going
00:23:40
to get like a floor cleared thing which
00:23:42
is kind of strange so yeah and you're
00:23:45
getting uh some stuff like that I kill
00:23:47
everyone you can go into the whole level
00:23:49
again yeah they kind of small over like
00:23:50
this it's not a huge issue but if you're
00:23:54
like on a massive takeover sized level
00:23:58
and you think you killed everybody but
00:24:00
you don't you're inching past every
00:24:02
corner terrify that's bad design it's
00:24:07
always the dog to avoid me was yeah yeah
00:24:09
it might it is a dog like spinning in a
00:24:12
circle someplace or do I need to like
00:24:15
cut down that [ __ ] phone or whatever
00:24:17
I need to trigger it so add action and
00:24:21
then add dialogue and teeth light hammer
00:24:23
goes like oh that was easy easy peasy
00:24:29
and you also if you end it like this
00:24:33
like even if you're done with the
00:24:35
dialogue will just stand there you have
00:24:37
to add another frame and stop sequence
00:24:40
so otherwise you just stuck there
00:24:43
forever so now let's try it
00:25:17
okay see so just the go arrow just
00:25:20
magically pops up but you don't get a
00:25:23
floor complete and then he goes like
00:25:26
easy-peasy and he walks to the next
00:25:28
floor so basically I think we just
00:25:35
covered what I was going to cover on
00:25:37
this floor actually by doing that end
00:25:40
cutscene there so same thing works with
00:25:43
this if you have an enemy here there'll
00:25:48
be a little bit different properties in
00:25:50
terms of how things that so say you kill
00:25:53
this kid and then you have a cutscene
00:25:54
here and then you're like level complete
00:25:56
go to car you'll get the big ol level
00:25:58
clear but if there's not an enemy here
00:26:01
when you talk to him and then you finish
00:26:05
that cutscene it'll say floor clear in
00:26:06
the deluded car and it won't trigger the
00:26:08
ending music you know I don't think I
00:26:12
need to show you that just remember just
00:26:16
remember there's some different
00:26:17
properties and there's an enemy there
00:26:18
and as I said experiment you'll figure
00:26:20
it out
00:26:21
what else did we want to talk about
00:26:23
items so yeah items
00:26:26
let's go Brian's no no good at what okay
00:26:29
so items is a weird strange beast
00:26:33
actually had keys place to it's like the
00:26:39
second part of the NPC thing and I want
00:26:44
to say they're super glitchy or maybe
00:26:46
I'm just an idiot hasn't figured them
00:26:48
out I've seen one or two levels where
00:26:50
like you pick up the keys you have to
00:26:51
take it to a door to unlock the door
00:26:53
never been able to figure that out
00:26:54
myself and I think yeah I really like
00:26:57
yeah I think there might have been some
00:26:59
like notepad code sugary if you can
00:27:02
figure it out let me know and I'd
00:27:04
appreciate to hear it I might even bring
00:27:08
you on and have you teach me how to do
00:27:11
that kind of [ __ ] but as I say because
00:27:13
we both don't know yeah the only thing
00:27:16
I've I've used items for is finished so
00:27:18
you act as visible and active
00:27:21
visible the item won't even show up and
00:27:24
until you activate it
00:27:25
if this isn't checked off active so if
00:27:29
you uncheck these stuff the item won't
00:27:32
do anything and you won't be able to
00:27:34
click it until you trigger something
00:27:37
else so I am going to place this wallet
00:27:41
or ever I use the money pile and even
00:27:44
being placed on money pile right here
00:27:46
and it'll it'll finish but you could
00:27:49
have it's kind of clear okay if you can
00:27:51
tell because it's not visible so in this
00:27:55
I already have I'd have a quick little
00:27:58
cutscene but let it let's delete the
00:28:02
ending bit and add action activate item
00:28:06
it's the first item you can also name
00:28:08
these should make sure to check that off
00:28:10
and so now this will be available if you
00:28:14
click it scene complete okay let's give
00:28:20
let's give that a little go so what if
00:28:27
what else you wanna say man did we talk
00:28:33
about with having a cutscene for example
00:28:37
on this one like the second floor how
00:28:40
the player has a silhouette where their
00:28:44
position is for the serving out yeah we
00:28:46
can cover that that'll be good and then
00:28:50
lastly we'll we'll close with potential
00:28:53
bugs in the other actually I tried to
00:28:57
get the walks through cutscene till work
00:29:01
or like though early walk to glitch in
00:29:04
the cuts tend to work and I couldn't
00:29:07
trigger like it worked perfectly for me
00:29:08
so
00:29:19
[Music]
00:29:22
so would you say we recovered the how to
00:29:29
make you on like a second floor with the
00:29:32
player walking how we haven't done that
00:29:33
yet we're gonna do that after this so
00:29:38
you get and also if you add an item you
00:29:41
won't get the level complete you'll get
00:29:43
level floor cleared I don't know if it's
00:29:45
a glitter if they put that intentionally
00:29:47
but if that item wasn't there you would
00:29:49
have gotten the big old level clear and
00:29:51
music we played so now that I click it
00:29:53
go to car just like that there's also a
00:30:03
couple things different but the
00:30:05
cutscenes on the second floor for
00:30:07
instance you're not going to see your
00:30:08
player because you sit his spawns on the
00:30:11
first floor so you can if I pull up this
00:30:14
you click on the silhouette for a year
00:30:16
right know this so it this silhouette is
00:30:19
the vasila is the one for level
00:30:24
transitions it's this gray silhouette
00:30:25
that you can click and you can do all
00:30:28
the other things triggers won't work
00:30:31
with the player character walk to can be
00:30:34
a good bit glitchy on second floors I
00:30:37
wasn't actually able to get it to good
00:30:38
trigger like the crash the trigger when
00:30:42
doing this but be careful if before you
00:30:45
ever click walk to on a player character
00:30:47
make sure to save your level because it
00:30:50
might crash I think the best workaround
00:30:53
for this is to just close like actually
00:30:55
close the game and open it back up and
00:30:59
start walking I think what I did is I
00:31:00
copied the level in the files
00:31:03
and that worked for me yeah I definitely
00:31:08
experienced the walk to furnish multiple
00:31:10
times and I completely agree that if I
00:31:13
close it the save and close of the game
00:31:14
completely and rebooted up most the time
00:31:17
it looks good yeah
00:31:18
and then once we teach you how to mess
00:31:20
with the file there's another workaround
00:31:22
I think works change sprite animate
00:31:25
sprite which is so if you change the
00:31:29
sprite because I've already get it
00:31:35
everything complete
00:31:36
so it's delete delete that ending and
00:31:39
the trigger will come back up and so if
00:31:41
I want the player character to change
00:31:42
spray he you have all the options to go
00:31:46
back to it's meant to work with like a
00:31:48
changes suddenly like if you want to do
00:31:51
in animation so hammer goes from walking
00:31:53
unarmed to like the one where he comes
00:31:55
his hair and then and the same thing you
00:31:59
didn't you click animate sprite and you
00:32:02
have the different options like how the
00:32:04
animation works and he'll just look his
00:32:06
hair for X amount of time before it's
00:32:10
pretty glitchy the way that works as
00:32:12
well
00:32:13
same with attack so if your character
00:32:16
has a weapon or if you change the sprite
00:32:20
to happy like pistol attack he will fire
00:32:24
and your player will fire player bullets
00:32:25
I think by default to kill people
00:32:28
and by clicking attack you have the
00:32:31
option to manually target or I guess
00:32:34
auto target the other NPCs and we
00:32:38
already kind of showed you how they died
00:32:41
or click the manual one which use the
00:32:44
little crosshair around the
00:32:45
player-character
00:32:46
over here you can choose exactly where
00:32:49
to shoot like if you want them to miss
00:32:51
or something as well as like choose
00:32:53
their fire rate yeah for like the
00:32:57
directions ooh even for that office
00:32:59
cutscene you could have the computer
00:33:02
monitor on the edge of it not in front
00:33:04
of the character and you can almost have
00:33:06
a good player shoot at the monitor and
00:33:08
have it explode and that's almost like
00:33:10
this cool warning shot and a dialogue
00:33:13
after they got after that and guys like
00:33:15
whoa like hold up so yeah but if I
00:33:18
wanted on my dialogue because that would
00:33:21
be before I shoot right yeah of course
00:33:25
the other thing is rotate which you know
00:33:29
you prize figure out which that one is
00:33:32
the snap feature is just there I guess
00:33:34
to you know see if your easy cardinal
00:33:36
directions to just go to or you can not
00:33:39
just uncheck it to make it specific as
00:33:41
an animator instant animate means like
00:33:44
you'll see the character turn or
00:33:45
instantly just pops in that direction
00:33:47
for some reason player characters always
00:33:50
start facing this direction the way I've
00:33:52
got it pointed it in like level intros
00:33:55
so if you want to be like facing this
00:33:58
way of talking to somebody you have to
00:33:59
like you're gonna have to like check
00:34:02
this into that thing and I think we'll
00:34:03
cover those kind of glitches when we
00:34:05
teach enemy campaigns because there's
00:34:06
also a glitch with the song doesn't work
00:34:09
in introductions
00:34:10
Oh God use me so that is for a different
00:34:12
time and all those things we just showed
00:34:17
you work for nothing to eat the enemy
00:34:19
not
00:34:19
NPC work for these characters as well as
00:34:23
things like trigger so I think we
00:34:26
already showed you that one and died
00:34:30
both I said I'm what happens what
00:34:33
happens when you tell your player
00:34:34
character to die like I don't think
00:34:37
right like pretty much yeah okay person
00:34:41
yeah you can't I don't even think you
00:34:43
press artery start it's just like you're
00:34:44
stuck there so the best choice is to
00:34:46
choose that like in love will fade out
00:34:49
instead
00:34:50
yeah that's what I'm kind of I wouldn't
00:34:53
be able to tell couldn't thing I used
00:34:54
that but I've seen campaigns were like a
00:35:00
group of NPCs come up and they look
00:35:02
shoot you but yeah I'm not sure would be
00:35:05
player character directly putting that
00:35:07
in yeah also elevators will cause levels
00:35:12
that in levels with cutscenes to crash
00:35:16
right yeah I even get out there crashes
00:35:20
in normal combat well needed to snow
00:35:23
they're just unstable but I remember
00:35:24
specifically making nine lives that I
00:35:26
couldn't have the elevator in the
00:35:28
hospital because when it's faded like
00:35:31
like it'll the elevators will walk with
00:35:34
levels with cutscenes if the way you end
00:35:36
the level is you go back to your car but
00:35:38
if you want to like fade out to go to
00:35:40
level screen then it will just crash oh
00:35:44
I don't know if it's always or there's
00:35:48
something specific that causes the trick
00:35:50
crash but I remember having to do with
00:35:51
that on multiple occasions that's fun
00:35:55
anyway okay so I tried doing an attack
00:35:59
cat saying while you're talking didn't
00:36:01
work out so I think we're just going to
00:36:03
do some closing words you know
00:36:06
technically hard um a lot of yelling I'm
00:36:09
sorry
00:36:10
you just have to expend like what this
00:36:12
video was to show you really was like
00:36:14
triggers frames and actions to like get
00:36:19
a hold of the
00:36:21
they're like those videos long enough so
00:36:23
I don't think you guys want us to go
00:36:25
through Ed's little nook and cranny of
00:36:26
the tech yeah and obviously like we're
00:36:29
what he took from the get-go we
00:36:31
obviously can't teach you everything
00:36:32
just the core essentials but even Mikey
00:36:36
said like playing campaigns and starting
00:36:39
getting a feel for how they're like
00:36:40
setting up their triggers or how they
00:36:42
have a layout of a cutscene just use
00:36:44
that to inspire you and hopefully I'm a
00:36:45
reference in that case too yeah if you
00:36:49
can do competent dialogue cutscenes
00:36:52
that's like probably 80% of all cutscene
00:36:55
you anywhere it's mostly just done so
00:36:58
hopefully this helped make the clean
00:37:01
creator look less intimidating we of
00:37:04
course I'll try to answer some comments
00:37:06
some questions you have the comments
00:37:08
about more intricate stuff so feel free
00:37:11
to ask me and yeah I hope you guys have
00:37:15
a good day and we'll see in the next
00:37:17
episode
00:37:18
yeah see you next week - howdy else
