In game tile based movie sequences ?

Has anyone tried any in game movies in tilebased games?

For Example:

Hero walks up 3 tiles turns right and a message box appears

Hero : Hello

NPC walks left 3 tiles and messagebox apperas

NPC im fine.


If anyone has tried this could you gimmie a buzz and tell me how u went about it :)

Hi Hooligan
Yeah i had a go at it. I used the Z index to trigger things
e.g.
If(player.z==01)
_level0.wall11_6.whatever.play();

where player.z is the value returned of the current z index of the player on the map and level0.wall11_6.whatever is a movie clip in the isolandscape (could be anything)

Having reread what you put i think I got the wrong end of the stick. Yeah any movies can be placed in the library of symbols that make up the map not just static ones.
The problem is you can't see what you are doing until the map has been generated so movement design is a bit trial and error

Yaeh i see what your saying thanks hexagone

Anyone else have any inputs :)

You'd probably just be better off animating it manually then trying to code movie sequence based on the game mechanics.
