    Im in the middle of creating a cutscene and am a bit stuck :S

    void Bhaalsummon()
    {
    object oSpawn;
    location lTarget;
    object oTarget = GetWaypointByTag("bhaalspawn");

    lTarget = GetLocation(oTarget);

    DelayCommand(13.6,CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "bhaal", lTarget));
    object oTarget = GetObjectByTag("bhaal");
    DelayCommand(13.8,ApplyEffectAtLocation(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_FNF_FIRESTORM), GetLocation(oTarget)));
    DelayCommand(13.9,AssignCommand(GetObjectByTag("Bhaal"), ActionSpeakString("At last my time has come...")));
    DelayCommand(14.0,AssignCommand(oTarget, ActionPlayAnimation(ANIMATION_LOOPING_MEDITATE, 1.0f, 7.0f)));
    }

    Is my code,

    DelayCommand(13.6,CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "bhaal", lTarget));

    Try ActionCreate rather then CreateObject.

    It is in the Lexicon:

    Code:
    ActionCreate(string, location)
Used to encapsulate CreateObject allowing this function to be added to the action stack


void ActionCreate(
    string sCreature,
    location lLoc
);
Parameters
sCreature
The resref of the creature to create

lLoc
a location object identifying the location to create the creature
    Description
    This function essentially wraps the CreateObject function in a void method so that it can be placed on the action que. It is used in the OnHeartbeat of the placable object "Skeleton Bones" found in the Battlefield pallate. Found in nw_o2_skeleton.nss


    Remarks
    nw_o2_skeleton.nss might be a good place to start if you wanted objects to turn into creatures when the player approached.


    Requirements
    #include "nw_o2_skeleton"

    Code:
    Example
string sCreature = "NW_SKELWARR01";
location lLoc = GetLocation(OBJECT_SELF);
DelayCommand(0.3, ActionCreate(sCreature, lLoc));
/* ***
** The DelayCommand message above could be replaced with
** ActionDoCommand(ActionCreate(sCreature, lLoc));
*** */
