For making an intro do I simply diable the player movement and force them to look at certain things ?

It would be very helpful for somebody to give me sample of code for an intro so I can understand what needs to be done.


Thank you, Jamsong

you would use startplayerlookat and SetPlayerActive(false);

That can use an example:

You will also want to get rid of the player's crosshair.

ShowPlayerCrossHairIcons(false);


This will delete the little dot in the middle of your screen

Is there a function to hide your arm and lantern or would I just use the function that zooms the screen in ?

Well to hide the arm and lantern you would use SetLanternDisabled(true); this disables the players ability to use the lantern and will get rid of the arm and lantern
