Storyboard intro
I'm having trouble figuring out how to get this to work. I'm trying to make my game begin with a story of images and text... to jntroduce the story of the game. I have seen this done only once before, I believe it was with Golden Souls *I think*. Any help appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance.

Hudmessage is what you're looking for. ACS. No, it can ot be done other way.

It can also be done in ZScript. Even better, with more refinement, but, to be honest, without a Delay() function it takes more programming skills to achieve it.ramon.dexter wrote:Hudmessage is what you're looking for. ACS. No, it can ot be done other way.

Well, I understand that zscript is better for the "background" things. But this question could be fulfilled byACS, no need to mess with zscript.

It depends. I had all my hud stuff in ACS/SBARINFO, but now fully in ZScript and have added functionality that would not have been possible with ACS.ramon.dexter wrote:Well, I understand that zscript is better for the "background" things.
I'm sure ACS will do the job here. Just saying that there are alternatives these days!ramon.dexter wrote:But this question could be fulfilled byACS, no need to mess with zscript.
