Need help with this script (Scene_Movie)

[Rntgamer]

Hi everyone,

I try to make this script work but it just wont work please explain to me how its works. its a script for playing your own made movies into your game. When I try to use it my game crashes and goes to full screen to small screen and something in the middle it just crashes and before that I got this message "augument error while running the script wrong number of augument (3 of 1)"
then I changed my event and that above happened  :crazy:


Thanks alot!

my event:
$scene = Scene_Movie.new ("intro",145,false)


script:

class Scene_Movie
##Copy this into a new section of your game.
##To play a file, move the avi file into a "movies" subdirectory (yourgame\data,
##yourgame\graphics, yourgame\movies).
##Then call "Scene_Movie.new(filename)" where filename is your movies actual filename
## (minus the .avi).        exp Scene_Movie.new("???")
## If you want to play multiple movies in a row
##(for example before the game starts, maybe a "developed by", "produced by", "intro movie"
## set or something... Go to the "main" section of code and find the line "$scene = Scene_Title.new".
##Just after that line add:
##CODE
##Scene_Movie.new("dev_by")
##Scene_Movie.new("pro_by")
##Scene_Movie.new("intro")
##$scene = Scene_Movie.new("intro",8,false)assuming the filename of the intro movie is "intro.avi" and it's 8 seconds long.
##class Scene_Movie
def initialize(movie)
  @readini = Win32API.new 'kernel32', 'GetPrivateProfileStringA', %w(p p p p l p), 'l'
  @movie_name = Dir.getwd()+"\\Movies\\"+movie+".avi"
  main
end

def main

  game_name = "\0" * 256
  @readini.call('Game','Title','',game_name,255,".\\Game.ini")
  game_name.delete!("\0")
  @wnd = Win32API.new('user32','FindWindowEx','%w(l,l,p,p)','L')
  @temp = @wnd.call(0,0,nil,game_name).to_s
  movie = Win32API.new('winmm','mciSendString','%w(p,p,l,l)','V')
  movie.call("open \""+@movie_name+"\" alias FILE style 1073741824 parent " + @temp.to_s,0,0,0)
  @message = Win32API.new('user32','SendMessage','%w(l,l,l,l)','V')
 
  @detector = Win32API.new('user32','GetSystemMetrics','%w(l)','L')
  @width = @detector.call(0)
  if @width == 640
    fullscreen
    Graphics.update
    sleep(1)
    Graphics.update
    sleep(1)
    Graphics.update
    sleep(1)
  end
 
  status = " " * 255
  movie.call("play FILE",0,0,0)
  loop do
    sleep(0.1)
    @message.call(@temp.to_i,11,0,0)
    Graphics.update
    @message.call(@temp.to_i,11,1,0)
    Input.update
    movie.call("status FILE mode",status,255,0)
    true_status = status.unpack("aaaa")
    if true_status.to_s != "play"
      break
    end
    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
      Input.update
      break
    end
  end
  movie.call("close FILE",0,0,0)
  bail
end

def bail
  if @width == 640
    fullscreen
  end
  end
end

def fullscreen()

$full.call(18,0,0,0)
$full.call(13,0,0,0)
$full.call(18,0,2,0)
$full.call(13,0,2,0)
end
$full = Win32API.new('user32','keybd_event','%w(l,l,l,l)','')

I'm not experienced scripter and i can't answer you but i have a tip:
after test the game and the error appears go to the scripts(F11) and put cursor on the scene_movie script then it will automatically be in the error line, then say here what's the line it'll help to solve the problem.

Try $scene = Scene_Movie.new ("intro")

The error is because the 'initialize' method of Scene_Movie is only set up to receive 1 argument, and you entered 3 arguments. (as far as I can tell, the instructions are wrong)

Be Well
