Play intermission sequence before first level

Post by CaptainToenail »

Is this possible?

I have an episode arranged as a hub cluster, and I want an intermission sequence to play before the first level begins.

Currently I give the player a slideshowstarter item as soon as the first map begins, but this isn't ideal as you still see a screenwipe and the start room before it begins.

I'm not going to have to make a dummy level before the first level am I? :?

Better end the level via script, but yes, that's the only way possible. A game cannot start on the intermission screen.
