General information

• The XML code on this page is compatible with OniSplit v0.9.61.0 and v0.9.68.0.
• FILM*.oni files are level-specific (they are usually used in cutscenes and can be found in levelX_Final).
• For best results (esp. for running and jumping), use the same character for recording and playing the FILM files.
• Holster and unholster is the same key event, so make sure the character has their weapon holstered/unholstered as you planned or it will affect their ability to sprint.
• The tags below have their values in radians. THIS page can convert radians to degrees and vice versa.

<Facing>

<DesiredFacing>

<HeadFacing>

<HeadPitch>

BSL support

playback ai_name FILM_name
playback script_id FILM_name

Sample XML

"[...]" below stands for additional <FILMFrame>...</FILMFrame> blocks.

Frame structures

FILM allows two structures for <Frames>.

Fixed structure

There are always 4 elements within <FILMFrame>.

           <FILMFrame>
               <MouseDeltaX>0</MouseDeltaX>
               <MouseDeltaY>0</MouseDeltaY>
               <Keys></Keys>
               <Frame>0</Frame>
           </FILMFrame>

Modular structure

There can be one up to three elements.

<Time> is used instead of <Frame>.

<MouseDelta> is an array of X and Y.

           <Frame>
               <Time>0</Time>
           </Frame>
           <Frame>
               <Time>25</Time>
               <MouseDelta>0.25 0</MouseDelta>
           </Frame>
           <Frame>
               <Time>223</Time>
               <MouseDelta>0 -0.25</MouseDelta>
               <Keys>Forward</Keys>
           </Frame>
