Switching between scenes during cutscenes

Ramses

Hi there, 

I have two scenes, both apartments. The player finds a remote control in the first apartment and uses it. I would like to show in a cutscene how a TV is turned on in the 2nd apartment and then switch back to the player scene. How can I do that? 

THX!

Can you put both apartments in the same scene but separated by some distance? Then you can just move the camera between them.

You can also do it with variables, if you want to keep the scenes separate. 

In scene 1, run your cutscene, and end it with a scene change action, but right before that action, set a variable like TVon = true.

Then when scene 2 is run, set up a cutscene on start to check for the TVon variable. If true, run whatever actions you need (turning the TV on) and then end that cutscene with a scene change action to change it back to scene 1. You can also set another variable before changing back to scene 1 which indicates that you have come back from the scene 2 TV on cutscene, so something like TVcutscene = true.

Then back in scene 1, your on start cutscene can check for that variable (or if scene 2 is only used in this way, you can use the check previous scene action) and then run the appropriate actions.

This technically uses 3 different cutscenes, but if you set it up right it should go smoothly as if there is only 1.

Ok, will try that. THX!
