Title: EZScript problem
Post by: Lemon_Ex on July 22, 2009, 11:29:52 PM
My problem is that my cut scene never plays when I use a substitution for Villain. Such as I type owlman to substitute for villain so that it
forces owlman to the talking. I can go back to using villain1 and villain2 but then I'll have owlman speaking ultramans lines.

Spoiler
Story: Worlds Finest vs Worlds Finest
Encounter: Defeat OwlMan and UltraMan
Villains: owlman, ultraman

Alert Cutscene:
Red Arrow on ultraman

Start Cutscene:
Camera on ultraman
ultraman says, "Look it's my blue American pie loving self. That chin makes me look like one sexy fellow."
owlman says, "Ignore him."
Camera on superman
superman says, "I don't know how you two crossed over to are world again but were sending you back!"
Batman says, "Super Man you take UltraMan, I'll deal with OwlMan."
Camera on owlman
owlman says, "Just like me you got to boss that big blue idiot around."

End Cutscene:
Camera on Batman
Batman says, "Seeing OwlMan and UltraMan show up out of the blue can't be a good sign. I'll run some test on the area and monitor for any time stream disturbances."

Howdy Lemon_Ex, did you make this in the EZScript Editor?  There may be another problem with the scene, because a substitution shouldn't cause problems like that.  For example, is your Batman herofile name capitalized?

I found away around it by changing superman and batman back to hero1 and hero2, then the scene would play. I checked FFedit and Batman herofile name is capitalized. I did notice all other characters including the Irrational characters are lower cased so maybe if I rename change the capital B to an lowercase.

Nah, for some strange reason Ezscript won't play the scene if I substitute hero1 and hero2 for superman and batman.

It's almost always better to use lower case names.  FF and FFvTTR have issues with capitalized names of characters, markers, you name it.

This is going to sound odd, but you could try shortening the name of the story too  (to Worlds Finest).
