Hey guys, I started to make my first cinematic a while ago, and as soon as i was done with all that I needed I tested it. First it skipped the first camera, ran all the others like it should, playing all the talking and stuff, and when the final cutscene ended my screen came out black and with the same angle that i used on the last camera. I managed to fix the issue of jumping the first camera and now all of them are running like they should, but the screen still ends black after the fade out. I did turn off cinematic mode, and I have no idea why this happens so if anyone knows about how to fix this I'd really apreciate your help.
Also I'd like to add a group of zerglings attack my base during the cinematic. I did not manage to pull it off myself so if you could help me with that aswell id be much apreciated too!
And just a question:
In the cinematic that I made, an hybrid is meant to unfreeze. The trigger is working well I suppose because it is doing everything but I cannot see the hybrid frozen. Is there no model for a frozen hybrid? I wanted something similar to the hydralisks on HotS campaign.
Here is a btter explanation with pics. So if u want to be good at the editor u will have to master "issue oder". With this u can oder unit to attack other units,structures, make a unit patrol a area... it very importand.
Here is a little demonstration. Make a small map and place player 1 zerglings and hostile zerglings between each other like here:https://postimg.org/image/3t5gznu3r/
Place a point between these 2 army's.
Now go to the trigger section and create new trigger. I named mine "zergling cuddle" :)
Under events pick the " Time elapsed ...lets say 5 seconds
To finish it off just copy paste the issue order action 4 more times and change the 2,3,4 zergling in the triggering section. https://postimg.org/image/7auhz3c07/
Open the map and u see zerglings cuddle each other to death :D
Thank you both! My cinematic is working as I want to now. Need to do some tweaks still.
Ill just use an arbiter stasis field around the hybrid, it looks like ice to a degree and I think its better then nothing.

You might need to add a fade in trigger to get the camera back from the black. I don't think Cinematic Mode does that for you.
Not sure on the hybrid model.
With the zerglings its very easy i think. U can just add an Issue order to unit group or issue order to each individual zergling.
Order (triggering unit) to than click on "(" and change it to "order targeting point" and the change the "target point" to a point u set on the map.
Should look like: Order (triggering unit" to (attack targeting point??)

Under events pick the " Time elapsed ...lets say 5 seconds
Under actions find issue order. Like here: https://postimg.org/image/he5fq9oo7/
Now click on triggering unit and go to value and than click choose: https://postimg.org/image/jmjm7lvs7/
Choose a zergling and click q and ok. Like here https://postimg.org/image/v7klnl2fb/
Now click on the brecket here: https://postimg.org/image/j893g9wuf/
and find "order targeting point" https://postimg.org/image/yidk17hqf/
Than click on ability command: https://postimg.org/image/bra0128td/ and find attack https://postimg.org/image/6iez36qe9/
finally.... click on "target point" and under value choose the point you put before all this: https://postimg.org/image/d3rp2y68x/
To finish it off just copy paste the issue order action 4 more times and change the 2,3,4 zergling in the triggering section. https://postimg.org/image/7auhz3c07/
Open the map and u see zerglings cuddle each other to death :D
To make a zergling attack buildings just change the bracket to attack targeting unit: https://postimg.org/image/mubqulu01/
Change ability command to attack again: https://postimg.org/image/vt6eldo9t/
and under triggering unit click and go to value and find the building u placed on your map: https://postimg.org/image/l83hcuapz/
If u want this issue order to happen when the map starts than go Events: map initialization.
