script call for playing a movie

hey guys..

i'm having a bit of trouble, just not too sure what im doing wrong here..
simply trying to script call a movie and im not getting any result..

Graphics.playVideo(movies/test.mp4);

put it in quotes.

If that doesn't work, open up the dev tools and see what the error message is that's in the console.

Why are you doing it via a script call instead of using the Play Movie event command? Game_Interpreter does other stuff, not just that command.

because im planning a game where every single battle interaction has a video animation tied to it. so when you hit a move a video is played based on which characters attacked which. this would take ages adding every single combination VIA the event command process (though it totally works that way, just would take forever.. basically wouldnt be possible)..

my plan is to script call the movies so that it would be much easier to implement them as there will be well over a thousand.

anyway, it seems that putting it in quotes didnt do that trick. when i put the quotes nothing happens at all.

without the quotes i get this error..

Seriously, put it in quotes. I want to know what the error message is when you're calling the command the right way, not the wrong way.

i did put it in quotes. nothing happens at all.

the only time the developer tools pop up is when i didn't put it in quotes.

how do i access the developer tools so i can see what the issue is then?

come to think, this isnt the only script call i need to figure out...... i could be in over my head here..

if anyone out there is interested.. inbox me and i will pay you to write a couple simple script calls for me. i know its possible, however, i'm just a beginner when it comes to anything about scripts.

You can't commission people until you have access to the Classifieds area.

F8 will open up the developer tools. Please put the movie name in quotes, play to the point where it should show the movie, then go into Dev tools, and grab a screenshot of the Console tab - if it shows an error. If it doesn't, then it may just be that you need to do the extra stuff that I said Game_Interpreter does when you use the Play Movie command.

Also, just to confirm, you may not offer paid commissions anywhere except in the Classified section. At the moment you don't have access to it, but it won't be long before you do.
