Play Media

i'm a new man of 3DGS, i'd like to play a video before load level. i tryed very many times......but nothing........Can you all show me the way to do?i would very very thank forthat........help me, please........

Hi!

Use media_play(string,bmap,volume).
Read the manual for using it.

Example:
Code:

---

function main{
var lv_hdl;
 
video_switch(8,32,1);  // set videomode  
lv_hdl = media_play("movie.avi",null,100);   // play movie in fullscreen
 
while(media_playing(lv_hdl)==on && key_pressed(1)==off){wait(1);}   // wait or break
 
media_stop(lv_hdl);
 
level_load(...);
 
...
}

Code:

---

 

var lv_hdl; video_switch(8,32,1);  // set videomode
lv_hdl = media_play("movie.avi",null,100);   // play movie in fullscreen 
while(media_playing(lv_hdl)==on && key_pressed(1)==off){wait(1);}   // wait or break
media_stop(lv_hdl);

You should drop this part of mercuryus' script into your main function, he has chosen to put it before the level_load(); function in his script. I haven't tested it either, but it should play the movie.avi file.

oh i'll try again! thank Wiz
