In-Game Movie Events

[Avestron]

As the topic suggests, would it be considered possible and desirable for there to be implemented a means of inserting conditional animation sequences using the active game?

Possible cues for sequences could be varied:

mission success
mission failure
total power worth exceeds X
Checkpoint reached
Certain Unit/ Structure hp reaches X level
Time elapsed
etc.

This would permit events like a transport entering the map, heading for a particular landing zone, or some more elaborate series of events.

If text boxes could also be implimented - then such could also open the way for further campaign development and depth. No need to insert movies - simply use in-game effects to, for example, represent a nuclear shockwave chasing after a fleeing transport.

There are already discussions about putting more cinematic features in to the JS API -- read through this topic for infos: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=10036

BTW, I hope that one day we'll be able to create stuff like this by scripting the game engine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzzIRnDJ ... ure=relmfu
