Triggering event on Movie ends

#1 I know we can do it through C++ but at the moment all the game code is implemented in torque script (not the best I know) and I was wondering if there was a way to do it through torque script.

#2 Briefly looking at that code, it looks like there is a moviePlaybackDidFinish in the source code. However, it doesn't look like there is any console callback in there unless it is another file.

#3 Here is how you can expose it to TorqueScript. Find the moviePlaybackDidFinish function in iPhoneMoviePlayback.mm.

Add the following one line of code at the end of this function:

- (void) moviePlaybackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification
{
   //Remove our observer
   [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:nil];
	[movieViewController.view removeFromSuperview];

   // Reactivate the current audio session
   AudioSessionSetActive(YES);

   //Audio::OpenALInit();

   //We can dealloc this whole delegate once we are done as the playback was asynchronous, which releases the movieController
   [self dealloc];

   // ADD THIS CODE
   Con::executef(1, "movieDidFinish");
}

That should trigger this function you write in TorqueScript:

function movieDidFinish()
{
   // Movie finished playing
}

#4 Let me know if that works for you. I'm on a PC right now, so I can't test the code. If it works, I will add it to the engine for an official release.

#5 SUCCESSFUL!!! SQUEE!!!! Thank you so much!!! You have made me an extremely happy n00b TorqueScript/C++ programmer! *Does a little celebratory dance*

If you load a level and it has a lot of datablocks you can get a bit of a delay... but that I can sort out :)

Thank you again!

#6 One thing to note is that if you replay a movie e.g. a 'death' video it is already considered as having been played and finished so it will load the movie finished script and play the movie in the background I am trying to find a way around it now. Will let you know how I go.

#7 Managed to fix it. It looks like it was a issue with my collision calls not the video end, I had to pause the game and tweak a couple of things so the call wasn't made while the movie was playing. :) Once again Thanks!
