Campaign Map Questions, Figured I'd ask all my questions in one. Options

[mg1999]

As stated I figured I'd ask all my campaign questions in one fell swoop so I'm not posting every other minute. I keep experimenting around with my own campaign maps and got a few questions about some things. Hopefully someone will be able to help me out with this as I am at a loss.

1. How can you have the "camera" or screen pan at the beginning of the mission going from one point to another and can you adjust it's speed?
2. I have created 2 campaign maps for the original TS both are named gdi1a.map & gdi2a.map After I finish playing the first mission I can't get to the second it says unable to initiate map and then restarts the first mission over, how do I fix this? Did i name these right?
3. How do I turn off the movies in between missions? So I could just have it go from mission to mission with no movies or stats displayed. I went under "basic" and made skip map selection yes
and thought I made the movies not play but they still do.
4. How can you make a certain area of the map that is black reveal it's self? is this done with waypoints or celltags?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

1. Create a waypoint. Create a trigger. give this trigger action "48 Center Camera at Waypoint". Set the Parameters Speed and Waypoint. Everything pretty self-explanatory.
2. Go to Edit/Basic. Set the Next Scenario to your second map. e.g. NextScenario=gdi2a.map
3. Don't know. Check the Action= Brief= keys in the basic section.
4. Actions "17 Reveal around waypoint..." and "18 Reveal zone of waypoint..." again pretty self-explanatory.
You can also use Action "41 Play Anim At..." and use the animation that is defined in rules.ini with the key DropZoneAnim= (BEACON in vanilla TS). Though to get the right index from the animations list is a bit tricky, since vanilla TS doesn't has a neatly ordered list, so you have to count which index it really has (it is not the number 618 in front of it).
