Or when Ballos is holding his head like Macaulay Culkin, since that's in the script, you can <PRI the scene so the entire game can be paused and while <PRI is up, you can have him speak. Use <KEY if you want him to go back to his animation.

 

You definitely don't need to assembly hack to do this.

Alright, I managed to do so, however, the message stays, and the player cannot move whilst the message won't go away until the second phase actually begins, forcing you to take damage. I used <CLR and <KEY.

The sidebar on the script editor is your best friend for finding which command to use, and for seeing how the command works.

Alright, now the message is gone, but the player is still motionless and unable to counter Ballos Phase 2.

 

Did you put in <CLO before the <KEY?

 

Yes, I had.

 

Hmm, did you put it under the first <ANP line like this?

I think that's supposed to go there. I've done something like that before.



Edit: The <WAIXXXX is there depending on how long you want the animation to go before it freezes midway into it.

 

Yes.

 

Problem is if you use <KEY then the PC is locked in place until the end of the event
I feel like there isn't a fix for this bar hacking in a new command, I might be wrong though

Use <CLO (not <CLR) to make the message box go away, and use <FRE after you use <KEY to free the keyboard input (should work).

 

Oh <FRE does that. Wow. So much stuff that I had to make overly complex is now easy.

 

Thank you! If people want the code for future mod projects, it is this!

Oh shit that's what <FRE does? I feel stupid and enlightened
Wow

It's mostly used in the inventory scripts, to let the player move the cursor around the inventory again once the description's done being displayed on the screen. Not a command that's normally seen or used otherwise.

How long does the "Studio Pixel Presents" cut-scene last?

It was posted somewhere around here, in this thread white a while ago.

It's only modifiable via assembly.
