Otherwise known as "Before Common Error" as a joke on BCE.
What is it?
Well, as someone who has very little experience with code, I decided that trying to wrangle with some complex outdated cutscene script shenanigans would be too difficult. So I made this, a small little script that works off of events. The BCEngine simply turns you invisible (using an invisible peach), and disables almost all buttons except down, for the duration of your cutscene. Demonstrations
Once that's done, put two events in the event section.
One named "Cutscene - Start" and one named "Cutscene - End"
Once Cutscene - Start is called, the code starts doing its stuff. The player won't be able to do really anything until Cutscene - End is called.
More instructions are enclosed in the LUA file.
Changelog:
9/12/21: V0.2 Release. No longer requires invisible peach.
10/5/21: V1.0 Release. Now with camera and cutscene progress mechanics!
Make sure to give credit, and have fun!

Instead of using an invisible peach, you could set the player.frame variable to -50 * player.direction, which is guaranteed to always be invisible, in onTickEnd.

huh, well now there's something i can do for V0.2, assuming i can figure out how that works, thanks!
But when I download the file, it says that is corrupted.
Well, It's not corrupted for me. Tell me what exactly you are doing to download this file
Well, I downloaded it on mobile, clicked on the link, told me to choose a Google Drive account, then told me which app should I use to open the file, and the file seemed empty!

have you tried downloading it onto a pc? smbx2 doesn't exactly work on mobile devices.

I've already did it, and it worked, anyway, thx for help.

Man, I added the two events as said, but for some reason, the camera gets stuck in a single position.
What would be causing the issue?
