Leader arrival

Leader Arrival Cutscene

What it is

A special arrival sequence for one specific player (the leader). When the user with UserId 5558308322 joins the game, he skips the normal UI (no faction/loadout/deployment flow) and goes straight into an arrival cutscene: he arrives by plane at the airport. Everything in-game stops and EVERYONE in the server gets the same cutscene of the leader arriving, with the planes etc all replicated.

Trigger

• On PlayerAdded, check if player.UserId == 5558308322.
• If yes: that player skips the normal join UI and goes straight to the arrival cutscene.
• The cutscene plays for everyone in the server at the same time (server tells all clients to play it).

During the cutscene

• The game effectively stops for everyone while it plays (freeze input / movement, hide normal HUD).
• Everyone sees the same thing: the leader arriving at the airport by plane.
• The planes and the arrival are replicated, so it looks the same for all players (driven by the server so timing matches).
• Camera follows the scripted arrival sequence.

After the cutscene

• Normal UI / control returns to everyone.
• The leader spawns in (at the airport / wherever the arrival ends).

To fill in

• The plane model / animation path and camera moves (describe from the reference video).
• Exact length of the cutscene.
• Audio (engine, ambience, music) to play group-wide during it.
• Where the leader ends up / spawns after arrival.
• Whether it can replay or only fires once per server.
