(Solved) How to use Video Object

Im trying to use the Video Object for a Cutscene in my game but it works well at the beginning except when Im trying to get it to transport you to the next scene after it ends but it never does that
Please Help

Hi, could you post your events? Otherwise it is very hard to say what is causing the problem. There is a condition for video-objects called ‘Is ended’, as an action you take ‘Change a scene’ and it should work.

Here is the events
I tried to use a cutscene ended Condition and had it change to The World scene but it didn’t work so I ended up using Double Click, but I’m not really a fan of it
I’d really like some assistance with this

It would be interesting to read what exactly did not work (did the video play or not). If you just have the video in your scene and nothing else happened before, the video won’t play without an interaction of the player. This is from the video-object documentation:

You screenshot also does not show under which condition the video is playing.

The Video Plays fine it’s just when it ends because I want it to change to the next scene after it ends

I don’t need a Condition for the video to play it’s just when it ends that I get the problem

And that’s exactly the problem. If you play your video without condition, it will never stop playing and thus the ‘video is ended’-condition is never met. So you need a condition, something like ‘At the beginning of the scene’ or even a 'Trigger once" and then this event will work:

Ohhhhhhh Okay, yeah that makes a lot more Sense


I added the Conditions but it still doesn’t work

i wonder if it has something to do with the speed change. hmm. I wonder if testing for current time > XX seconds would be more reliable.

When I use these events, it works for me without any problem:

The only remaining thing that comes to my mind is to check whether you have set your video-object to loop in the properties menu:
video_3

I would also check nzandydean’s suggestion.

If all of that does not solve the problem, I would suggest to start a completely new test project, just put your video-object in the scene (looping is unchecked) and the two event blocks (nothing else) and see if it works.
