I know this isn't all that new, but I just thought it would be a great idea for some people to try this.

You know how in Ocarina of Time, and a few other of the later Zelda games, when you enter a new area, you see Link wandering in, and it shows the name of the area somewhere on the screen, and then it shows various (animated) areas from your location. I think that's such a great way of going about entering a new area.

The thing is, how do you do this easily? In an overworld, all you have to do is place a pit warp (Stair warp, actually, I'll bet.) and a trig-Perm for it, and you're set. But for a dungeon, .. well.. I don't think it's that easy. Thoughts?

[/M/]

How about if you put a fake floor tiles in the dungeon that's a pit right in near the dungeon's entrance. Then show random pic's of the dungeon by using time warp. Really it's the same..also you have to use the cave trigger prim. I don't think anyone still uses the dungon dmap. They all use cave.

1. Make a cave-type DMap for this scene and entrance.
2. Make a copy screen of the entrance.
3. On the main dungeon screen, place pit warps where the player would enter, then fill the rest of the room with trigger perms.
4. The pits will warp you immediately to the scene.
5. After it's done, have it warp you back to the main dungeon screen where the player will land on the triggers.
6. Have a side warp to the next room be a dngn-type DMap.

Well . . . How about you do something like this. . .



1.)Make the screens as they go. . . (Like beside each other in my shot).

2.)When finished with the screens. . . stary seting all the Time - Warps in Data / Screen Data to about the right amount for that screens limit of view. (The Tic - Warps use 60 seconds as 1 second. So in Data / Screen Data you type 60 or add 60 more seconds on to make 2 seconds. . . you figure the math.)

3.) The make sure the Invisible Link & No Subscreen are cut checked on for the screens that need not use the Subscreen. (You would do this in Data / Screen Data.

4.)Set the rules as needed on onto the DMaps to where you would make for the screens. (Some may use one Dmap or none will or maybe all will. . . no one knows.)

Now, at last. . . . You can set back and play your wonderful cutscene of entrance view you would like. . .

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On to subject. . . that would be neat to do. . . for I did it it in the desert for a beginning cutscene. . . But you could use the tech.

Hmm, this is useful information... I'll have to use it in my quest.

[Shoelace]

That seems like a great idea, I actually thought of that, however, I still don't know how I would present it. I am not sure if I will do it anytime soon. Also, great work Masterlink3000!

This is an awsome Idea. When I get a chance to use ZC again, Ill use it for Strike Of Midnight, LTTP II
