What it does

Director

The only thing that advances Standing Ovation. One of these sits on the Director entity; every rendered frame it calls Film.tick() exactly once, which moves the film clock on by a fixed 1/24 s and pushes that time at every registered slice. It ticks in edit mode and in play mode alike, because the film is authored, watched and recorded in both.

Nothing else may call Film.tick. A slice that wants something to happen at a moment registers with Film.on / Film.at — see ovation.film.

Fields
autoPlayRewind and start the film as the component wakes.
filmTime / filmFrame / shot / runningWhere the film is, readable from any scope.

Methods

local d = entity.find("Director").component.get("ovation.director")
d:restart()     -- rewind to t = 0, firing every reset hook, and play
d:hold()        -- freeze where it is, frame still composed
d:goTo(53.0)    -- land on a moment without firing the cues in between

Director — the only thing that advances "Standing Ovation". The scene puts one of these on an entity called `Director`. Every rendered frame it calls `Film.tick()` exactly once, which advances the film clock by a FIXED 1/24 s and pushes that time at every registered slice. It ticks in edit mode and in play mode alike, because the film is watched and recorded in both. Nothing else may call Film.tick. A slice that wants something to happen at a moment registers with Film.on / Film.at — see `ovation.film`. To play the film from the top, from any scope: local Film = require("ovation.film") Film.rewind(); Film.play() `autoPlay` does that as the component wakes, which is what makes the world open on the film rather than on a frozen first frame.

publish( ) → void

step( ) → void

restart( ) → void

Rewind to t = 0, firing every slice's reset hook, then start playing.

examples

entity.find("Director").component.get("Director"):restart()

hold( ) → void

Freeze the film where it is. The frame stays composed.

goTo(t: number) → void

Land on a film time without running the clock through it — a view of a moment rather than a fast-forward, so the cues in between never fire. Authoring only.

update fires in play, editorUpdate in edit. The mode guard keeps it at one tick per rendered frame even if a transition frame dispatches both.

descriptionThe only component that advances the Standing Ovation film clock — one Film.tick per rendered frame, in edit mode and play mode alike, plus restart/hold/goTo and a readout of the film's position.

# ovation.film The shared spine of **Standing Ovation** — a 90-second cinematic demo set in a rotting 1,412-seat theatre. Two things live here and nothing else. ## The constants The Odeon Marisol's geometry (`Film.GEO`, `Film.rakeY`, `Film.stallSeat`, `Film.balconySeat`), its palette (`Film.PALETTE`), its four light sources (`Film.LIGHTS`), its acts (`Film.ACTS`) and its shot list (`Film.SHOTS`). Every slice of the demo reads its colours and dimensions from here rather than restating them, because two slices disagreeing about where row A stands breaks the film in a way no screenshot explains. ## The film clock One deterministic timeline the whole demo runs on. It advances a **fixed 1/24 s per rendered frame** — it reads no wall time and no real frame delta, so the same build produces the same 2,160 frames on any machine, under a recorder or without one. ```lua local Film = require("ovation.film") Film.rewind() -- every reset hook fires, every cue re-arms, t = 0 Film.play() -- the Director advances it from the next rendered frame Film.on("mine", function(t, dt, shot) end) -- called every frame Film.at(47.0, "cue", function() end) -- once, as the clock crosses 47 s Film.reset("mine", function() end) -- back to the t = 0 state ``` `Film.stop()` freezes it with the frame still composed. `Film.seek(t)` lands on a moment for authoring and does not fire the cues in between. `Film.ramp`, `Film.smooth` and `Film.wave` are the shared shaping helpers: this film is made of waves crossing 1,412 identical figures. Only `ovation.director` calls `Film.tick`.

Did the part work as advertised when consumers tried to drop it in. Separate from upvotes: those are taste; this is "did it function".
