Scene tools on CarbonNetwork Creative: triggers and cutscenes

The tools behind a scene on CarbonNetwork’s Creative server — triggers, props, costumes, mood and the cutscene recorder, all of them in one menu.

Hard3 min read

Everything here is in /rp manage → Scene & World, except costumes in Roles & Characters.

Triggers

Lists of actions that run automatically, top to bottom, all at once. There's no branching and no delay.

Points → a place. Fires on walking in (On Enter) or right-clicking inside (On Interact). Game Triggers → the game. Fires on start, end, join, leave, role assigned, cutscene end.

Actions: title · sound · teleport · assign role · unlock point · show/hide areas · say dialogue · play cutscene.

  • Unlock point gates a scene into stages — mark later points locked at start.
  • Play cutscene plays for the whole roster, not just whoever tripped it. Mark that point once per participant.
  • A closing shot must play before /rp end — ending cuts any running cutscene.
  • Two-beat opening: On Game Start → cutscene, On Cutscene End → title.

Edit in the World (in a point's editor) draws the radius as a particle ring while you resize it, so you don't have to guess a number.

Props

Placed with the End Rod in edit mode. Hold what it should be in your off-hand.

Block display · item display · text display · armor stand · NPC. Displays scale 0.1–4.0; stands are small/full and can wear a head; NPCs wear a player's skin. 20 per game. Unbreakable, can't be looted.

Props only show up while the game is running or while you're managing it (in edit mode, holding a tool, or with one of its menus open). While you're managing it, only you see them.

They show up in the Points grid. Click one for its triggers, or Appearance for its looks.

  • To make one talk: On Interact → Say Dialogue. Private to the clicker. Blank speaker = the prop's name.
  • Appearance → Edit in the World for Move Here, Face Me, scale.

Also: /rp prop list shows which props are still standing.

Costumes

Role Costumes → click a role. The costume belongs to the role, so it comes off when the role is unassigned or the game ends.

  • Skin — search a name, check the preview, confirm. Shift-click clears.
  • Nametag — prefix/suffix above their head.
  • Placeholder prefix — for tab-list/scoreboard plugins. Invisible unless one uses it.

Mood

Scene Mood — per-player time, weather, sound and particles. Nobody outside sees it.

Cycle a Preset first, then tweak channels. Preview on yourself tests it solo.

  • Storms are rain + thunder sound; the sky won't go dark (Minecraft limit).
  • Players can opt out: Scene Atmosphere in pause-menu options, or /rp mymood off. /rp resetmood if it sticks.

Cutscenes

Camera Paths — click a path to play it for everyone, shift-click to delete. Record New Path names it and starts.

Recording hands you a spyglass: fly the shot, right-click to save, left-click to cancel. 3 min max, 5 paths per game, playback 0.25×–4×.

Skipping is typed — /rp camera skip for everyone, /rp cameraskip for yourself. Tell your cast about the second one.
