Hey guys,
so i just started working on my first custom story and i was wondering if there was any way that the game can start with the player automatically running.

also how to you force the player to look in a certain direction.

so essentially is there any cinematic ish options with the editor suite and how can i use them?

Hello ^^. You should check out the "Engine Scripts" page on the frictional games wiki.
Here it is, in case you have some brain lags : p

Then go to camera functions, and see what it offers ! They allow you to make the player close his eyes, move his head, look at specific entities. About making the player run, it should be possible to make him walk with void MovePlayerForward(float afAmount) but I never used that function. Other members might help you as well.

If you have other questions, I'd be pleased to help you. I have free cookies.

Edit : it's actually called screen effects and player, in the wiki.

okay. well that actually really helpful so thanks a lot

My pleasure ! I'm still not a great modder but I know some stuff already ^^
And I always have cookies with me, here have one.
