Usage
Remarks
This is where you want to call UT_DoAreaTransition(); the level will begin loading in the background as the map trail animation plays.
Note that since this event doesn't have parameters attached to it, you'll need to get the target area and waypoint tags from some other source. The main campaign manages this via the WM_STORED_AREA and WM_STORED_WP module local variables. For example:
case EVENT_TYPE_WORLDMAP_PRETRANSITION: { string sArea = GetLocalString(GetModule(), "WM_STORED_AREA"); //retrieve the target area tag stored in EVENT_TYPE_BEGIN_TRAVEL string sWP = GetLocalString(GetModule(), "WM_STORED_WP"); //retrieve the target waypoint tag UT_DoAreaTransition(sArea, sWP); //execute the area transition to that target. break; }
