Title: Skip Entity.PlayTheora
Post by: The Man on November 11, 2014, 01:50:13 PM

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything about it in the forum!
I'm using entities to play my videos because when I use Game.PlayTheora the quality of the video seems to decrease a lot (I really don't understand why!)

My question is: is there a way to skip videos that are played through an entity? I generally use a code similar to this:

Code: [Select]

var video = Scene.GetNode("video");
video.PlayTheora("name_of_the_video.ogv");
while (video.IsTheoraPlaying())
{
Sleep();
}
I'd be really grateful if someone could help me, because I'd hate to have to choose between having bad quality videos or unskippable videos!

I have not tried.

Code: [Select]

on "Keypress"
{
  // ignore keypresses in the intro screen
  if(Game.PlayTheora("name_of_the_video.ogv")) return;

  // on Esc or F1 key
  if(Keyboard.KeyCode==VK_ESCAPE)
  {
    return;
  }
