SpigotPlugin

Cinematic Tool is a plugin to make cinematics ingame without needing any mods. Using just commands you can create your own Cinematics ingame just recording in spectator mode the movement of the player camera and then replaying the cinematic you just recorded.



Spoiler: Basic Commands
Permission for all commands: "cinematic.cmd"

/cinematic record <name of scene> : This is one of the basic commands of the plugin. In spectator mode or creative mode you can record your cinematic saved with the name you give. The record will continue saving path made by the player until the cinematic stop command is used.

/cinematic stop: This command is used to stop the cinematic record command.

/cinematic play <true/false> <scenes...>: With this command you can play your scenes in just one cinematic separated by fade feature if is enabled. If fade feature is disabled it is going to just pass instantly to the next scene.

Use true to play the cinematic to all onlineplayers, use false to play the cinematic to just the player that is executing the command.

NOTE: If you want to create scenes with fade and some others without it, you can convine the scenes you want with the merge command to bypass the fade feature in one specific moment.

/cinematic delete <name of scene>: You can delete a scene with this command.

/cinematic rename <name of scene> <new name of scene>: With this command you can rename a scene.

/cinematic list: This command shows you a list of all the saved scenes.
Spoiler: Advanced Commands
/cinematic record <name of scene> <time in ticks>: With this command you can record a scene but with a specific duration that you specify in ticks. (20 ticks = 1 second)

NOTE: The normal record command will only record when you are moving, this means that if you stay static this will be not recorded.

/cinematic record-static <name of scene> <time in ticks>: With this command you can record a static cinematic based on the location you are when you execute the command. It saves the static frame by the time you specify in ticks.

/cinematic merge <new name of scene> <name of scene 1> <new name of scene 2>: This commands create a third scene with the first name you provide and merge the scene 1 and 2 in one.

/cinematic clone <name of scene> <name of the clone>: This command creates a scene with the second name provided that is a copy of the first one.

/cinematic remove-frames <name of scene> <ticks to remove>: With this command you can remove a certain amount of the last frames of the scene. It will delete just the last ones.

NOTE: Every frame is represented by 1 tick, due to Minecraft limitations we can not play more than 20 frames per second.

/cinematic check-frame: This is usefull to check during the cinematic what frame you are at.
Spoiler: Feature Commands
