Cutscene won't display

[Geckos]

Tried to get this code working

Code: Select all

$ renpy.movie_cutscene("movies/jc_phones_null_short.webm")

The screen freezes until the length of the movie is over, and then it resumes the game as normal.

I can get movies to work with

Code: Select all

image jc_phones_null_short = Movie(play="movies/jc_phones_null_short.webm", loops=0, delay=None)

But I can't get this to stop infinitely looping.

Not sure what to do! Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Not totally sure how it would work, but you could try looking at this.

I've been all over the renpy documentation and relevant troubleshooting threads I could find, with no luck~!

loops=-1 is for indefinite looping, loops=0 should not loop at all. Maybe try leaving it out altogether?

Code: Select all

play movie "movies/jc_phones_null_short.webm"

Did some more testing, problem seems to be with the type of ren'py game I created (an older one that doesn't use the new gui). Or at least with the version of the script I'm working with now, which uses some older code.
Movie plays with that code in a new build. Will have to think about what to do! Not quite ready to troubleshoot an entire project so until then I might just use my previous method to show movies and not worry about the "play movie" or "cutscene" commands. Thank you though!
