That outburst about cutscenes at the beginning of a combat level was so satisfying.

The only acceptable cutscene to put at the beginning of a level is the henchman cocking his gun, because the game autosaves or something after that and makes it so the animation doesn't play after you die.

I was listening with headphones and 8:58 made me jump.

this is actually helping me alot

After 2 years there's finally Level Editor tutorial on KZread, thank god

just a thing i found there is roughly 1 second difference between the time you start the level and the time where you restart so if you have a really short cutscene at the start of a level you can bypass the restart issues doubt you can use this for fuck all but worth a mention

Note: To end the cutscene, go to "add action", and then "stop sequence"

I find it funny how I used a cutscene before a combat level on my first campaign

You're a literal god

Wow thank you!

I placed some dialogue and later on put Pardo in to add a little more. The dialogue that was made before is totally ignored now. I used frames for each action.

Good tutorials, can't believe they are this recent too. I want to note that naming the NPCs too long causes problems with cutscenes. I was testing stuff out after watching this, and naming an npc too long caused cutscene to start while editing. The save got corrupted. Same thing happened again with another save (I thought reason of crash was different), I force quitted as the animation was playing in edit mode. Seems like the save got corrupted again but only slightly this time. I can't put down weapons my character uses, I can't fire a gun that I pick up and only certain actions of the cutscene is not working properly. TL;DR: Caution as you name your NPCs.

interesting... I've had a cutscene trigger while editing before and it scared the living daylights out of me. Maybe this was the cause

Is it possible to have 2 separate cutscenes per floor? What I mean is something like this: There’s a diner, and the main dialogue exchange happens at the counter. After it’s over, you can leave: OR you can go to a table where the guy you’re playing as comments on what’s going on. Like 2 separate triggers for two separate cutscenes.

Yes, when you use the stop sequence command, DONT check the box to end the scene. Then add a new frame and click the add trigger button again and draw it where you want it. There you can create the second cutscene. however the two cutscenes must be done in order. You cannot trigger the second cutscene until the first is done

,,Hope you read this,, i have buyed hotline miami 2 and even if this video is verry old i want to thank you for helping me do my campaign

26:48. One way is to edit an NPC/furniture sprite in any Picture editing software with multiple frame animations and remove ALL pixels in those sprite animations then Place a single pixel on the very last frame animation. The first frame of the sprite will be invisible and you have to Place a single pixel on any other sprite frame so that it can be patched into the game without a full black screen. Then you patch that 'invisible' NPC/furniture into the game. Next is to open up the key item sprite and re-sprite an NPC/furniture with the keys. Patch that NPC/furniture into the game. Now here's the trick: Place the key sprite as an NPC/FURNITURE that you had RE-SPRIT'ED anywhere you want in your level and make it non-solid as a cutscene NPC. Then add a trigger to the NPC/furniture keys as a click trigger. Then add a frame + action where you change the key sprite into the invisible NPC/furniture. That makes the keys dissapear when you click on them. Now Place the invisible NPC/furniture AT a door. This one has to be placed to BLOCK the door from entry so make the NPC/furniture solid. Now give the invisible NPC/furniture that is blocking the door a movement path. Make the invisible NPC/furniture move away from the door into a Place where it wouldn't block the player anymore. This movement has to be FAST, otherwise there will be a pause when you pick up the keys. Then you're done. The cutscene will play as follows: Pick up keys, keys dissapear, invisible NPC/furniture at door runs away fast, door is free to enter. BUT you could also do an alternative for Visual pleasure to help guide the player. Place ANOTHER invisible NPC/furniture behind the door (On the other side) and add a Quick click trigger on it without adding any frames/actions for it. Then it will display an Arrow pointing at the door to help players know their goal. The reason why the Arrow has to be on the other side is so that players don't go to the door too early or actually click away the Arrow when trying to interact with the door. But for even more pleasure you could add your own sprite with an Arrow and a key beneath it that tells the player that keys are required to enter. Make that sprite non-solid and make it dissapear once the player had JUST gone through the door. I could show you the process if you'd like.

I know you said that we shouldn't put a cut-scene at the beginning of a combat level, but could there be a way to bypass that by ending the level after the cut-scene ends? As a better example lets say the player gets shot at and runs upstairs to avoid the bullets. The level's combat would start on the second floor and dying would just start you off there, rather than forcing you to sit through that cut-scene again. Would something like that be possible or not?

For some reason I just can't get the attack command to work. I tried making Richter killing Biker, but nothing works. Biker does have a death sprite, Richter's uzi_attack sprite is selected, but when it should work, Biker just doesn't die, and the cutscene ends with Richter having the first frame of muzzle flair coming out of his gun. The cutscene does end right after the shot, so I might have to add a wait, but that's all that's coming to mind. I have also tried manually making Richter shoot Biker but neither does that work. Sorry for commenting again and again, I think this might be the third time, but you're the first person who comes to mind to help with this, and I am also thankful for the quick responses.

Boss fights are really tricky to make, especially if you don’t have access to NP++, if your campaign involves hammer my personal suggestion for a boss is to reskin a military enemy (not a normal one, dodger or fat, due to them having guns and being more akin to bosses) and have them as the boss. On a level for a cancelled campaign I made I had the last floor have only 1 melee weapon and a military dodger in the middle, and every enemy either had guns or was a fat so you were forced to shoot and then hide, and get the melee weapon to beat the dodger. Of course HLM2 isn’t really made for bosses. If you do have access to notepad++ you could use pre-existing bosses (and probably reskin them) but be wary that they can cause crashes/bugs (SWAT boss turns you into the big butcher when executed)
