I think I am running into a few issues. One of the largest is interpreting my timeing, as relates to action queues and when I need to start counting; from the beginning of the cutscene, or from the previous action.
The other is getting my creature (spawned in during the cutscene) to perform her movement and actions I wish her to do. Also, I need to destroy her at the end, but she is being sutubborn.
I thought, after reading, that I may need to use the GestaltTagActionMove function (and the related GestaltTag* functions), but it had no effect on my creature.
Needless to say, this script is only partly functioning. Can anyone give me some pointers? It would be much appreciated.
If it looks a little messy right now, well...it's because it is.
I'm flailing around, trying to identify the issue. I'll clean it up later.
/*
The following script is the first cutscene taking place in the "Ruins of Shadhet - Catacombs"
dungeon run. This is in the Weaving Room, and shows the ghost Leila. On the loom, the PC
will see a battle scene, depicting Jassad warring against a desert rival.
Leila appears, sitting at the loom, and the PC sees her weaving the half-finished tapestry.
She does not see/react to the PC’s. She stops in her weaving, and lays a hand on the
cheek of Jassad…then does the same for the rival. A single tear tracks down her cheek,
then she fades.
