- hmmm.... i think i get it:
-so i have a 1 trigger running my cine and storing the 3 fields of data in globals.
-and i have another trigger detecting escape and re-displaying the stored data when someone presses esc.
Yet, it would still screw up the sound afaik. Maybe i could use some kinda timer re-started at every new scene,
and i would retrieve the elapsed time to know at which point the sound was being played, and re-start playing it from that offset whenever escape is pressed...
Yet again, I think there's an auto fading out on the sound when you press escape , which would overlap a little with the re-playing... Besides, i don't even know if lag etc won't screw it all up >.>
Well, when i got time (which i smost likely not before the weekend) ill give it a shot, After i set up the fate of hero-invul-to-units, ofc.
Well, I made a system that fixes it

// By: lame.snow //

// Goal: Ever made a cinematic to explain your game, just to find out that it just always instantly dissapears because //
// people spam escape, and then complain that they don't understand the game? This script solves that by reshowing//
// the text when it get's cancelled out. //
// How To Use: //
// Instead of using TransmissionFromUnitWithNameBJ, you use DCCT_TransmissionFromUnitWithName, //
// which uses exactly the same arguments. //
// And instead of using TransmissionFromUnitTypeWithNameBJ, you use DCCT_TransmissionFromUnitTypeWithName //
// *************************************************WARNING*********************************************** //
// DO NOT use the normal TransmissionFromUnitTypeWithNameBJ and TransmissionFromUnitWithNameBJ or this system //
// will not work. You have to change every single TransmissionFromUnitTypeWithNameBJ with the DCCT functions. //
// How It Works: //
// The normal BJ's register the 'skip' event and cancel the cinematic when it is pressed. The DCCT functions are //
// exact copies of those triggers, but without the registering. //
// //

How to use:
Instead of using TransmissionFromUnitWithNameBJ, you use DCCT_TransmissionFromUnitWithName, which uses exactly the same arguments. And instead of using TransmissionFromUnitTypeWithNameBJ, you use DCCT_TransmissionFromUnitTypeWithName. DO NOT use the normal TransmissionFromUnitTypeWithNameBJ and TransmissionFromUnitWithNameBJ or this system will not work. You have to change every single TransmissionFromUnitTypeWithNameBJ with the DCCT functions.
(Just copied out of my comments
)
EDIT: The system does require VJass, but I guess you have JassNewGenPack?
