Functions

Static native functions

KeepPlayingLoadingMovie

native static final function KeepPlayingLoadingMovie ()

Keep playing the loading movie if it's currently playing and abort any StopMovie calls that may be pending through the FDelayedUnpauser.

ShowLoadingMovie

Starts/stops the loading movie

Parameters:

• bShowMovie - true to show the movie, false to stop it
• bPauseAfterHide - optional) If TRUE, this will pause the game/delay movie stop to let textures stream in
• PauseDuration - optional) allows overriding the default pause duration specified in .ini (only used if bPauseAfterHide is true)
• KeepPlayingDuration - optional) keeps playing the movie for a specified more seconds after it's supposed to stop
• bOverridePreviousDelays - optional) whether to cancel previous delayed StopMovie or not (defaults to FALSE)

Exec functions

CrowdDebug

exec function CrowdDebug (bool bEnabled)

CrowdFocus

exec function CrowdFocus ()

Native functions

ClientPlayMovie

native final reliable client event ClientPlayMovie (string MovieName, int InStartOfRenderingMovieFrame, int InEndOfRenderingMovieFrame)

starts playing the specified movie

ClientStopMovie

native final reliable client event ClientStopMovie (float DelayInSeconds, bool bAllowMovieToFinish, bool bForceStopNonSkippable, bool bForceStopLoadingMovie)

Stops the currently playing movie

Parameters:

• DelayInSeconds - number of seconds to delay before stopping the movie.
• bAllowMovieToFinish - indicates whether the movie should be stopped immediately or wait until it's finished.
