In the server's data folder with the .txt extension. However in your input parameter or your code in the API leave the file extension off.

Or you need an object on your levels that spawns when the level starts with the script "Test_Cinematic" attached to it to trigger the cinematic.
|
Unless the cinematic had some massively long wait time it would just play the cinematic immediately :-/
Rather then using the level_load event to play the cinematic it makes sense to create an invisible object on level load, but only attach the test_cinematic script to it when you want to play the cinematic file.
Actually you're probably saving time and load by creating the object and attaching the test_cinematic script as and when you want to play it, but destroying the object after the cinematic has played.

Its Just a Zone, when you have 900$ its Creating a Flare at a Position
where a Nod Jet or GDI A10 drops a Orca or Apache. And it plays a Sound.
|
So on the ::Entered event, if the player meets the conditions you create a signal_flare and attach test_cinematic to the flare with the cinematic file name as the third parameter of Attach_Script(obj, "test_cinematic", "a10_drop_off_orca_cinematic"); right?
(note there is no file extension in the third param)
And you've put the cinematic file in your servers data folder?
If you've done that and you know the cinematic works, then it must be your player isn't meeting the conditionals or something :-/

Or the cinematic could be faulty, make sure to test it with an object that is already placed on the level with test cinematic, just to make sure it work, also make sure that the object isn't killing itself early or the script doesn't terminate itself early.

AFAIK you can make cinematics through scripts.dll, rather then trying to learn how to work Renegade's way of using .txt cinematics.. You should take a look at SCUD Storm scripts and see how some of the cinematics in that works.

Its the SSGM Cinematic that drops a Vehicle by a Helicopter
|
If you know the cinematic is correct, then I would start looking at your conditionals. Posting your code might prove useful.
