Some assets can be silent killers when it comes to performance. The Quick Cutscene Creator isn't one of them. Don't take my word for it, here's a profiler screenshot of the QCC whilst running the demo scene:

 

Just updated the original post with the Steam Greenlight trailer for Down To One, made with the Quick Cutscene Creator!

 

could you make a video tutorial the documentation is super charged and confusing

 

We actually have one on our Youtube here:

I'll update the OP to link it.

 

Hey is there a way to disable scripts by creating a new scripte and then disable on awake?

 

Hey Allen,

Not entirely sure I follow, but what you could do is make a method in the script that disables it with this.enabed = false, then call that method using the "Broadcast Message" feature of the Quick Cutscene Creator.

 

@GoGoGadget Sure I will try that. Apologies for not being clear of what I wanted to achieve with Quick Cutscene Creator. But what I wanted to do was have a player that was loaded into new level, have it's monodevelop scripts disable. On the player I have the (don'tdestroyonload). So when reach the scene I could use the quick cut scene trigger and disable the players scripts. But I can't use the inspector tab to load player since I using the (don'tdestroyonload). So the player is not part of the scene. So I was gonna use a new separate script to disable the player on the start of the scene.

 

Hi,
Love the tool. Pretty easy to set-up animations and so on. What I am missing as a new coder is a button that says play on load scene I am probably making this overly complicated, but I have a sequence that I want to run the second the scene loads. So I wrote a (poor) script. But it doesn't start the camera animation (animation works great when I press the play button during testing:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
namespace QuickCutscene.Demo
{

public class QCstartcutscene_cb : MonoBehaviour
{

public QuickCutsceneController demoCutscene;
private bool iscutscenerunning = false;
// Use this for initialization
void Update()
{
if (demoCutscene.isActiveAndEnabled == false && iscutscenerunning == false )
{
demoCutscene.ActivateCutscene();
iscutscenerunning = true;
}

}
}
}

Any thoughts?
Thanks for any help you can give.

 

Hey Telecaster,
Try changing demoCutscene.isActiveAndEnabled to demoCutscene.playingCutscene

 

Yes!, that did it
Thank you!

Christian

 

hey, Ive downloaded this and watched the video tutorial but I am still a bit confused. When I look at the demo in unity I can't see where the animation controller for the in cutscene animation is? So i don't know how to begin with that.

 

Hi mellovely,

To be clear, you don't need any animation controller to use the Quick Cutscene Controller at all if you don't want to. I think the animation controller that you're talking about is on a child gameobject of the dancing character models.

 

If you don't need an animation controller then how to you make the character start dancing when it walks over the trigger? where do you store the animations you want to take place after the trigger is entered?

 

For that, you do need an animator controller - just making it clear that the base/core functionality of QCC doesn't require it to work

Aside from that, all the QCC does is change animator variables at points in the cutscene - you can check the addons included in the package for other features like that.

 

Hello, This looks like an amazing Work! but i have a question, how do you make it work while it is in the game, like playing the game, then cutscene comes in, then continues to the game, how do you do it? Thanks

 

Hi Bumthimble, that is entirely up to you! You can call the method to activate the cutscene, lets say for example, when your character moves to a certain position.

 

Hey I want the cutscene to start as soon as the level loads and end after a certain time. Any thoughts on how to achieve it?
Also qcc should feature activating some scripts instead of deactivating them and setting some variables in current running scripts.
Can you please feature them in the next update.
Please

 

Hi Aayushh,

Quite simple to do (1) - just call ActivateCutscene() as soon as your level is loaded (try listening for the callback in a script, I forget what the API for it is, it's something like OnLevelWasLoaded). Then, after however many seconds, just call StopCutscene.

All QCC actions are just an example - as you can see from the legacy animator plugin, it's very easy to write your own.
