How would you make a simple still image cutscene?

Questions & Answers

I’ve looked for tutorials but they all are for animations… I want just a simple slideshow between levels, kind of like angry birds, to help the storyline. Would I need a separate scene, or a GUI thingy?? I don’t even know where to start.

If all you’re doing is showing some images, just do it in the OnGUI() function of a top-level object in your scene, by using GUI.DrawTexture(). So, something like:

var frames : Texture[];
var frameTime = 3.0;
private var frame=0;
private var nextFrameTime = 0.0;
function OnGUI()
{
    if (frame < frames.Length) {
        if (Time.time >= nextFrameTime) {
            frame++;
            nextFrameTime += frameTime;
        }
        GUI.DrawTexture(Rect(0,0,Screen.width,Screen.height),frames[frame]);
    }
}

How/when you start the animation depends on the rest of your game. You could just use the active state of the GameObject.

Note that for a WebPlayer game, you may still be better using those 3D tutorials - you’re going to pay more for the single-use cutscene images than you would to make a 3D animated scene using your existing assets.
