Hey everyone!

I'm attempting to make a film, or what ever you would like to call it, and I've ran into some problems. The others I'll probably solve by myself, but the biggest one is one I'm looking for suggestions on. I'd like any ideas on how to make a sackbot or sackbots, run through your set recorded programing while your using a movie camera, but it can't be set off by a player, I'm open to all advice, thank you.

Sequencers!! You can place batteries on a sequencer and they'll be turned off when the sequencer play head is not on them. If you're a wireless kind of guy, you can place labeled tags on your sequencer where you want events to begin, and place a labeled tag sensor with a radius of 5000 to trigger what every you want to happen at that point in the movie.

Good luck!

Thanks, I'm gonna go try this.

Ok, I tried this with the batteries solution, and at first it seemed to WORK! But now I have reached a new problem, and it's one I have with all my sackbots. I'll put it down record it's act, put it on play once like I want, and then place the sackbot, but then the sackbot begins it's act, I can't get it to stop, if possible could someone help me?

Pause create mode.

Place sackbot.

Connect battery, (which is on sequencer) to sackbot's behaviour chip.

Unpause.


I think THAT^ will work!

Is there a "record" button? I understand how to make something "cinematic" while in the game - but I can't seem to find the "record" button, so I can play a movie intro at the beginning of the level.

I'm sure it's a dumb question and I just need to search more. (There's only 3 types of cameras, right?)
