It would go something like this:

SAY ~Let us go now.~
IF ~~ THEN DO ~ClearAllActions()
StartCutSceneMode()
StartCutScene("Port")~ EXIT
END

ClearAllActions()
StartCutSceneMode()      // GUI disappears
StartCutScene("Name_of_cutscene_script")


So if I want the move to happen after a certain line in a dialog, where does this need to go?

You'd use

ClearAllActions()
StartCutSceneMode()      // GUI disappears
StartCutScene("Name_of_cutscene_script")


For your cutscene script, you need one of these blocks per player/character
IF
   True()
THEN RESPONSE #100
   CutSceneID(Player1)     // so player1 controls this block. Keep the major actions in Player1's block as player1 is always present
   FadeToColor([20.0],0)  // This makes the screen go black
   Wait(2)
//   action list
   FadeFromColor([20.0],0) // The screen goes back to normal
   EndCutSceneMode()       // GUI reappears
END



But if you're moving players from one area to another, you can just use

StartCutSceneMode()
FadeToColor([20.0],0)
Wait(2)
ActionOverride(Player1,LeaveAreaLUA(S:Area*,S:Parchment*,P:Point*,I:Face*))  // Note that the Parchment value should just be left empty, ie leave it as ""
ActionOverride(Player2,LeaveAreaLUA(S:Area*,S:Parchment*,P:Point*,I:Face*))
ActionOverride(Player3,LeaveAreaLUA(S:Area*,S:Parchment*,P:Point*,I:Face*))
ActionOverride(Player4,LeaveAreaLUA(S:Area*,S:Parchment*,P:Point*,I:Face*))
ActionOverride(Player5,LeaveAreaLUA(S:Area*,S:Parchment*,P:Point*,I:Face*))
ActionOverride(Player6,LeaveAreaLUA(S:Area*,S:Parchment*,P:Point*,I:Face*))
MoveBetweenAreas(S:Area*,P:Location*,I:Face*)  // this one's for Raelis or any non-party NPC
FadeFromColor([20.0],0)
EndCutSceneMode()

This way you don't need a separate cutscene script, but I'm not sure if this method is recommended. :)

If this has already been covered somewhere then forgive me. I can't do a search for it because I'm not entirely sure what I'd search for.

But I need to be able to get an npc to move the party to another area. IE, Realis send the party back to the inn's basement. She does that using a cutscene, but I need to know how to get the cutscene to start.
