First of all - I searched the forums, but since I'm the uncrowned king of poor searching, I didn't find anything. 

I have recently gone over from the AGS engine to the WME engine, and I am looking for a similar "StartCutscene" function or event.
Does this exist in WME, or are only regular functions used?

I believe the idea with the StartCutscene-function in AGS was that the player could not skip talking lines with a mouse-click, but had to use a predefined "skip-button".

Of course, you could always implement this into any function in WME, but if there's an already existing method that does this it would be great to know about.

No, there's no built in support for this. It's been discussed before and the common consensus was to move the entire cut scene sequence into a separate script, and kill off the script when you need to interrupt the cut scene (using Game.DetachScript()). Unlike AGS, in WME you can run many scripts concurrently (basically all scripts in WME behave like AGS' repeatedly_execute).
