Create and Play Custom Boss Cutscenes

Setting Up Your Cutscene

Use the BossShow editor to build cinematic boss intros and story moments without leaving the game world.

1. Run /eca bossShow edit to enter the cutscene editor in spectator mode

2. Position your camera, place entities, and arrange the scene as desired

3. Define camera movements, entity animations, and timing through the editor interface

4. Save your cutscene with a unique ID

5. Exit the editor with /eca bossShow exit to return to your previous game mode

Playing Your Cutscene

Once saved, trigger cutscenes for players at any time:

• Use /eca bossShow play <viewer> <target> <id> where viewer is the player watching, target is the focus entity, and id matches your saved cutscene
• The cutscene plays in the viewer's perspective while locking their controls
• Reload all cutscene definitions from disk with /eca bossShow reload after editing files directly

Cutscenes work best before boss fights to build tension and establish narrative context.
