Usage
Remarks
When the UT_DoAreaTransition function is called the level will begin loading in the background as the map trail animation plays.
Since this event does not have parameters attached to it the target area and waypoint tags must be obtained from another source. The Single Player campaign manages this via the WM_STORED_AREA and WM_STORED_WP module local variables.
For example:
case EVENT_TYPE_WORLDMAP_PRETRANSITION: { string sArea = GetLocalString(GetModule(), "WM_STORED_AREA"); //retrieve the target area tag stored in EVENT_TYPE_BEGIN_TRAVEL string sWP = GetLocalString(GetModule(), "WM_STORED_WP"); //retrieve the target waypoint tag UT_DoAreaTransition(sArea, sWP); //execute the area transition to that target. break; }
