How to add cutscenes?

[AGamer]

I am trying to add cutscenes to 0 A.D.. For example, when a Hero dies I would like to add cutscene as a video file (MP4), so first I need to know if this is possible, and if so, how I trigger it to go off once the hero dies, also is there a way to pause the game using scripts so that while the cutscene is playing your team is not getting destroyed?

Thank you for your time.

There is no way to play videos in the engine currently.

I imagine you can trigger pause through the GUIInterface though.

Thank you for letting me know, could I create the cinematics in engine like move the camera somewhere, spawn the actors needed and assign the animation that would be in the video to the actors and have the player view locked to that location?

The cinema path should allow you to do that. For triggering animations though that's some extra scripting.
