✅ JCinematic ✅ fluid cinematics

This project will no longer be updated; it will be replaced by the new plugin, EtherCinematic, which improves upon many aspects that JCinematic implemented poorly.

It will have a free base version and a Pro version with improvements and some add-ons that will make everything better and smoother.

My plugins are characterized by being easy and quick to use; don't expect complex or super-advanced mechanics.

Usage Guide

Recording a Cinematic

1. Record the cinematic path /cinematic rec (duration) eg /cinematic rec 10 (this will record all the points your player is passing through for 10 seconds)

2. Save all paths to have the cinematic /cinematic save (NAME) eg /cinematic save test (this will save your cinematic with the name test)

3. Play your cinematic /cinematic play(cinematic name) (all or Player name) all = all

4. Cancel the path /cinematic stop (all or username) this will cancel the cinematic path

5 . Change language /cinematic lang en, es, ru, etc. (with this command you can change the plugin language without being in the config)

6. Reload the plugin, command /cinematic reload

7. Delete cinematics /cinematic delete (cinematic name)
