Is this possible in COD WAW ?


there are 3 different models, "onmodel", "offmodel" and "damagemodel"

in front of the screen is a trigger_damage, which is used to switch to the destroyed tv model when the player applies damage.

a trigger_use which requires lookat is used to allow the player to turn the tv on and off.

there's also a scripted light involved to make the tv gleam more realistic.

3 trigger_multiple are placed surrounding the house with the tv. they set two script flags to activate the tv logic (on, off, destroy and cinematic playback).

CinematicInGameLoopResident( "asad_speech_180" ); plays the main\video\asad_speech_180.bik on the tv screen. you may look up the cinematic functions in the script docs: http://www.zeroy.com/script/

it looks ingame like the cinematic video is mapped onto the screen mesh of the tv model. so it's apprently hardcoded for the material name "cinematic_3d", meaning that the model you want to play the cinematic on has to have a material called "cinematic_3d" applied where you want the video.

as you can't call the cinematic functions on an entity, it's apprently impossible to play more than 1 video at the same time (you can play one video on one or more models but not 2 or more different videos). it might be possible to scale the material in a way, that only the upper left part shows for instance. for the next screen you create another model with the right upper part of the cinematic_3d material on it. it should look like if different videos were playing.

to view and convert Bink (*.bik) videos, get the free RAD Video Tools:

I know this is possible in COD 4 atleast

well cod 4 is usually the same as cod 5 when it comes to certai. things, there might need adjusting but none the less you should try it and report back
