| Summary | 0001039: Camera sexps disable messages | ||||
| Description | The cutscene camera sexps (set-camera-position, etc.) automatically disable most of the HUD when they're called. If a message is sent while the game is in camera mode, I see the talking head but not the message text. This won't affect most missions but is preventing me from making any progress on one I'm working on. The best solution is to just leave the HUD intact when switching to the camera. The mission designer can always disable it separately using hud-disable and hud-disable-except-messages. | ||||

I think some campaigns already use these SEXPs, so what I'll probably do is make them automatically disable the camera, but let it be re-enabled via use of the hud-disable SEXP. Will that work for what you're working on? |
|

That would work fine. I actually want most of the HUD disabled but the messages to show up. The current behavior is that you see the talking head but not the message text. On a side note, it seems that hud-disable-except-messages doesn't get rid of the directives list. Is that a bug or is it intentional? hud-disable removes it correctly. |

bump, can someone take a look at this? It has become a showstopper for me at this point. I have been able to "simulate" a camera and get around it, but that causes a bunch of other problems. |
|
|
Just reporting that this has been "fixed" and can be marked as resolved. It turns out that the directives list thing is a separate bug, but I've been able to get around it for my purposes. |

Excellent. Thanks for keeping up with this bug, CP. |
