Attached is my Source for the cutscene file. Basically, all I have it do right now is make the player go invisible. It clones the pc. the clone says "i'm your evil twin" and runs to a specified waypoint. I then ask the player (that is hidden) to move to a 'camera' waypoint, but she doesn't move..... that is until AFTER the cutscene is over. The following is my code. I am running it via a Capt Placeholder npc that simple does ExecuteScript()
Any help would be thoroughly appreciated. and yes, I know about gestalt and I'm currently looking at the lexicon.
