Flashback scenes - Help

Hi, i'm considering of doing a part of a map for an entire flash back scene. But how could i make it that you can hear the people that are talking while in the flashback?

Also is it possible that i can make shadows of the flashback happen?
Say like i could use Alexanders shadow as one of the people that are in the flashback and someone else as the other?

Also how could i do the pure darkness like in the wine cellar.

Rep if like me or im helpful or you love my stories!

RE: Flashback scenes - Help

For voices, I'd use this command:

void  AddEffectVoice(string& asVoiceFile, string& asEffectFile, string& asTextCat, string& asTextEntry, bool abUsePostion, string& asPosEnitity, float afMinDistance, float afMaxDistance);

//This adds a voice + effect to be played. It is okay to call this many times in order to play many voices in a row. The EffectVoiceOverCallback is not called until ALL voices have finished.

That explains one part of my question.

What about

RE: Flashback scenes - Help

Are your flashbacks working correctly? Like ingame, with the fade ins correct and stuff?
Mine shows the text with small letters, on the bottom of the screen. The screen is not white, only for 0.5 seconds or so.

If yours work correctly, could you post your scripts + file info here (.flash)?
