I use Camtasia so I assume that will be capable of giving me what I'm looking for.

2. Would like to create a custom item to be found in a chest in order to trigger the completeGame([cinematicsFile]) command. Is this possible? I've gone through the scripting reference page but might have missed something as it's pretty long. In fact, it's massive.

3. Is there an area where custom Lua scripts like the ones I'm looking for already exist? There is no point in reinventing the wheel if it already exists.

There is a page on this website, that outlines creating cinematics for LoG1.

You can create a chest that runs the script when opened, or when the item is taken from it—define a new item that runs the script when the party picks it up [via party hook]; or when it is used by them [via item hook].

Yes there is: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3099&hilit=useful+scripts

Code: Select all

function guiT46Init(context)
	context.font("large")
	context.drawText("Test", width/2, height/2)
end

However, this gives an error when I run the dungeon, saying that the font field cannot be found. Any tips as to how I can fix this?

function drawChampionInventory(pcomp, context, champion)
	------------------------------------
	local w, h, r = context.width, 		context.height, 	context.width / context.height
	local f = (r < 1.3 and 0.8 or r < 1.4 and 0.9 or 1) * context.height/1080
	local MX, MY = context.mouseX, context.mouseY
	local mLeft, mRight = context.mouseDown(0), context.mouseDown(2)
	
	
	if Editor.isRunning() and context.keyDown("I") and context.mouseDown(0) then 
		context.font("large")																										
		context.color(225, 125, 125, 255)
		local text = "TEST DRAW TEXT"
		-------------------------------
		context.drawText(text, 	w - f * (w / 2  + context.getTextWidth(text)), 	 h - f * h / 2)	
	end
end
