Cutscenes and Objectives

The most recent update to the TileGame is the ability to create Cutscenes and Objectives.

Cutscenes are a series of actions that are played out in sequence. They are defined in yaml and can trigger just about any event in the game.

Objectives are just triggers that can be displayed to the player and can optionally follow up with another cutscene.

Here's an example from the tutorial. It does the following:

• creates a wall to block the path forwards
• faces the player to the south
• moves the player to the start of the map
• plays a dialog
• creates an objective

Name: TutorialIntro
StartTransition: FadeIn
Actions:
  - ActionType: SpawnEntity
