: : Nothing like that, but you can get the same effect using mots style cutscenes. Basically all the characters are controlled by cogs... if you want help on doing that, go to Darkness falls and read the cutscene tutorials.

Well, I'm sorry to say that there is no way to do it without cogging the whole deal -- you don't really need mots though...
Another option would be to learn how to edit in Quake or Quake II -- they have thing called quake movies that let one person "film" a multiplayer sequence -- then you can add sounds and stuff... do you have quake? Reply again, hopefully I can find you the site to download all the quake and quake II movies.
