Creating in-game cutscenes?

[defac]

Is there a way to use the camera to create an ingame cutscene? I've tried searching all over for a way to create cutscenes before I post but I found nothing. I thought about using fraps and recording video and using bink but is there another way?

 

I basically want to create and play a "crane shot" of my level as the player enters.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

You need to make a staged timer and then use commands like:

 

DisablePlayerControls

SetPos

SetAngle

 

To control where the 'Player' is to give the illusion of a moving camera.
