Scenes

Scenes are pre-configured animation sequences that enhance the realism and immersion of heist gameplay. They provide custom animations for various heist activities such as hacking, drilling, stealing

Using Scenes in Heists

To add a scene to an interaction point, include the scene parameter in your interaction configuration:

scene = { 
    name = 'thermite2', 
    offset = vec3(0.32, 0.40, 0.0) 
}

Scenes that aren't depending on objects are positioning by the 'zone.pos' parameter, but you can use optional parameters to adjust their placement:

  • name: The name of the predefined scene (required)

  • offset: Vector3 offset for fine-tuning position 

    x = left/right  
y = forward/backward  
z = up/down

  • pos: Override the default position with absolute coordinates

  • rot: Override the default rotation

Scene Types

Scenes can be categorized by their behavior:

  2. Non-Offset Scenes - These scenes are attached to an object

Using Scenes with Minigames

Scenes and minigames work together to create engaging heist interactions. For most interactions, you'll want to include both:

Example
-- Example of a complete interaction with scene and minigame
[1] = {
    zone = {
        a_type = 'box_zone',
        label = 'Hack Door',
        pos = vector4(261.92, 223.11, 106.28, 251.0),
        distance = 1.5,
        qb_target = { min_z = 105.0, max_z = 107.3, length = 1.2, width = 1.2 },
        ox_target = { size = vec3(1.0, 1.0, 2.2) }
    },
    require = {
        item = { name = 'electronickit', remove = true },
        bag = false
    },
    scene = { name = 'laptop', offset = vec3(0.0, 0.35, -0.05) },
    minigame = { name = 'datacrack' },
    on_complete = {
        functions = {
            { type = 'function', name = 'unlock_stage', params = { stage_id = 3 } },
            { type = 'function', name = 'doorlock', params = { door_id = 1, locked = false } }
        }
    }
}

This creates a complete interaction where the player:

  1. Approaches a door and sees a "Hack Door" prompt

  2. Performs the laptop scene (setting up a laptop)

  3. Completes the datacrack minigame

  4. Upon success, the scene completes, the stage unlocks, and the door unlocks
