I created a function that calls in paratroopers/reinforcements.
I used a chat hook to call the function, but it could be called in a number of ways in-game.
Here is a link to a short small movie of it working in-game:
http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/para.wmv
And here is how I made it work:
void reb_Nod_reinforcements::Created(GameObject *obj) {
Vector3 position = Commands->Get_Position(obj);
GameObject *flare = Commands->Create_Object("Signal_Flares",position);
flareID = Commands->Get_ID(flare);
Commands->Attach_Script(flare,"JFW_Disable_Physical_Collision","");
Commands->Create_2D_WAV_Sound("m00gnod_secx0007r3nors_snd.wav");
Console_Input("msg Nod reinforcements have been called in!");
Console_Input(StrFormat("ppage %d [Mission controll] You have called in reinforcements, friendly soldiers will be arriving at your position soon.",Get_Player_ID(obj)).c_str());
Commands->Start_Timer(obj,this,3.0f,1);
Commands->Start_Timer(obj,this,6.0f,2);
Commands->Start_Timer(obj,this,9.0f,3);
}
void reb_Nod_reinforcements::Timer_Expired(GameObject *obj, int number) {
GameObject *flare = Commands->Find_Object(flareID);
if(number == 1){
Commands->Create_2D_WAV_Sound("m00gnod_kill0020a3nors_snd.wav");
Commands->Attach_Script(flare,"Test_Cinematic","Nod_Paratroopers.txt");
}
if(number == 2){
Console_Input("msg Nod reinforcements are arriving!");
}
if(number == 3){
Commands->Create_2D_WAV_Sound("m00evag_dsgn0009i1evag_snd.wav");
}
}
void reb_GDI_reinforcements::Created(GameObject *obj) {
Vector3 position = Commands->Get_Position(obj);
GameObject *flare = Commands->Create_Object("Signal_Flares",position);
flareID = Commands->Get_ID(flare);
Commands->Attach_Script(flare,"JFW_Disable_Physical_Collision","");
Commands->Create_2D_WAV_Sound("m00gnod_secx0007r3nors_snd.wav");
Console_Input("msg GDI reinforcements have been called in!");
Console_Input(StrFormat("ppage %d [Mission controll] You have called in reinforcements, friendly soldiers will be arriving at your position soon.",Get_Player_ID(obj)).c_str());
Commands->Start_Timer(obj,this,3.0f,1);
Commands->Start_Timer(obj,this,6.0f,2);
Commands->Start_Timer(obj,this,9.0f,3);
}
void reb_GDI_reinforcements::Timer_Expired(GameObject *obj, int number) {
GameObject *flare = Commands->Find_Object(flareID);
if(number == 1){
Commands->Create_2D_WAV_Sound("m00gnod_kill0020a3nors_snd.wav");
Commands->Attach_Script(flare,"Test_Cinematic","GDI_Paratroopers.txt");
}
if(number == 2){
Console_Input("msg GDI reinforcements are arriving!");
}
if(number == 3){
Commands->Create_2D_WAV_Sound("m00evag_dsgn0009i1evag_snd.wav");
}
}
ScriptRegistrant<reb_Nod_reinforcements> reb_Nod_reinforcements_Registrant("reb_Nod_reinforcements","");
ScriptRegistrant<reb_GDI_reinforcements> reb_GDI_reinforcements_Registrant("reb_GDI_reinforcements","");
class reb_Nod_reinforcements : public ScriptImpClass {
void Created(GameObject *obj);
void Timer_Expired(GameObject *obj,int number);
int flareID;
};
class reb_GDI_reinforcements : public ScriptImpClass {
void Created(GameObject *obj);
void Timer_Expired(GameObject *obj,int number);
int flareID;
};
The real work is done by the cinematic file that test_cinematic makes use of.
The cinematic files look like this:

Whilst this function is used to make a reinforcement mod, you could easily adapt it so you can call any other cinematic file.
Here is the chat hook I used to test the mod in-game:
class NodreChatCommand : public ChatCommandClass {
void Triggered(int ID,const TokenClass &Text,int ChatType) {
GameObject *obj = Get_GameObj(ID);
Commands->Attach_Script(obj,"reb_Nod_reinforcements","");
}
};
ChatCommandRegistrant<NodreChatCommand> NodreChatCommandReg("!nodre",CHATTYPE_TEAM,0,GAMEMODE_AOW);
class GDIreChatCommand : public ChatCommandClass {
void Triggered(int ID,const TokenClass &Text,int ChatType) {
GameObject *obj = Get_GameObj(ID);
Commands->Attach_Script(obj,"reb_GDI_reinforcements","");
}
};
ChatCommandRegistrant<GDIreChatCommand> GDIreChatCommandReg("!gdire",CHATTYPE_TEAM,0,GAMEMODE_AOW);
