🚀 Quick Overview

- When and why to use each type of cut scene
Let's go! 🎯
Step 1 - Adding a Cut Scene 🎯
In the main editor menu, scroll down and click "Attacks".
There, set Boss to Other and Attack to Cut scene.
✅ During the cut scene, everything disappears except the background, sprites, and the skip button!
Step 2 - Adding the Dialog 💬
In the main editor menu, click "Dialogs".
There, click "Add" and type in what you want your boss to say.
📣 Dialogs happen before attacks, in the order they are placed.
Don't put critical commands inside the custom attacks commands when skippabable
If a player skips, the commands inside the command are skipped.
Example:
{boss-set-hp-percentage=100} will not work if the player skips the cut scene.Commands that are inside Dialogs will still be executed as of version 2.5.1

Step 3 - Making a Custom Attack Cut Scene 🛠️
Want more control?
You can also make cut scenes using a custom attack!
- In the Attacks menu, click "Custom".
- Click "Add" to create a new custom attack.
- In the custom attack settings, turn ON "In Cut Scene".
- Back in Attacks, set Boss to Custom and pick your new attack.
Custom attack cut scenes are advanced versions of regular cut scenes:
- You can use behaviors (like "commands") to show dialogs during the cut scene.
- You can add projectiles, custom animations, and more.
- ✨ The soul is hidden — so it can't be hit during the scene!
- You can also make it unskippable, perfect for important moments.
