What it does

flbeats

The staged moments of First Light: Vagant, as cutscene definitions.

require("staging.flbeats"). Each builder takes the context a beat is played in — where the vagant stands, which Commissioner reached him, which lamp caught — and a function to fire a spoken line with, and returns the table cutscene.play takes. Nothing here plays anything.

local beats = require("staging.flbeats")
cutscene.play(beats.seventh(ctx, function(key) fl.emit("say", key) end))
BuilderThe shot
opening(ctx, fire)Low over the water, onto the first dark standard, then in behind the vagant.
seventh(ctx, fire)Off the lamp head and up to the vista, where all seven lights sit in one frame.
firstLight(ctx, fire)The crane up off the vagant to the dawn, fading out into the light.
caught(ctx, fire)The drop to the ground and the push in until the wig fills the frame.
dawnLost(ctx, fire)The same rise as first light, over a fen that stayed dark.

Framing

No eye position in this module is a number chosen for one screen.

  • aspect() reads the live screen.
  • pullWide(a) / pullTall(a) scale an authored offset: a laterally wide subject moves the camera back in a tall frame, a tall subject brings it closer.
  • fitEye(centre, radius, elevation, vfov, margin) solves the distance a subject of that radius fits at, against the narrower of the frame's two half angles — the horizontal one on a phone held upright, the vertical one on a television. That is what puts all seven lamps in shot at 3:4 and at 21:9 without two versions of the shot.

FEN_CENTRE, FEN_RADIUS and DAWN_POINT are the three places the wide shots are about.

Interface

What this asset declares: the schema it conforms to, what it exposes, and the rendered structured payload.

zero/source-extract/v2

strict

aspect( ) → number

Aspect

pullWide(a: number) → number

How far back a shot of a LATERALLY WIDE subject stands, relative to the distance it would use on a square screen. 3:4 -> 1.19x back; 16:9 -> 0.85x.

anumber

pullTall(a: number) → number

How far back a shot of a TALL subject stands. 3:4 -> 0.90x; 16:9 -> 1.20x.

off(subject: Vec, base: Vec, k: number) → Vec

`base` is the offset from the subject on a square screen; `k` is the pull.

fitEye(centre: Vec, radius: number, elevDeg: number, vfovDeg: number, margin: number?) → Vec

Where a camera has to stand for a subject of `radius` around `centre` to fit the frame, at a stated elevation and a stated lens — worked out from the LIVE aspect rather than authored for one screen. A frame is narrower across than it is tall at 3:4 and the other way round at 16:9, so the binding half-angle swaps between the two; taking the SMALLER of them is what makes one station hold on a phone held upright and on a television. `margin` is the air left around the subject.

marginnumber?

vistaEye(push: number?) → Vec

The vista station: high to the south of the fen, looking north and down, so the fen's LONG axis runs up the tall frame and the sky still takes the top of it. `push` closes the distance for a slow drift in.

pushnumber?

sayCue(t: number, key: string, fire: (string) → void

Lines A beat's `say` cues are built from the script so the timing and the words stay together. Staging fires `say(key)`; sound answers it; screens shows it.

lineDur(key: string) → number

How long a line needs, so a shot is never cut off mid-sentence.

1. THE OPENING — you arrive at the sluice house, the fen is shown to you, and the Commissioner speaks first from somewhere you cannot see.

# fl One-paragraph description of what this module provides and who consumes it. ## Exports - `M.exampleFn(arg) -> result` — what it does and when to call it. - `M.exampleValue: type` — what value it carries. ## Usage Replace `<identity>` with the string `asset.create` returned — this module's source path with `/` written as `.` and each segment's type suffix dropped, the way a module at `/source/lib/thing.module` is `lib.thing` and one at `/source/kit.package/thing.module` is `kit.thing`. ```luau local M = require("<identity>") M.exampleFn("foo") ``` ## Notes - Anything callers need to know about THIS module: required runtime ordering, state ownership, side effects.

flscript
module · born here
❒asset
# flscript Staging's view of the spoken script of *First Light: Vagant*: the keys it fires, the written form of each line, and roughly how long each one takes to say. ```luau local script = require("staging.flscript") script.lines["open_comm_1"] --> { text = ..., speaker = ..., dur = ... } script.dur("lose_1") --> seconds to leave for it ``` The text comes from `audio.voice` when that module is present, so what is on the screen is what was recorded. The copies in this file are the fallback, and they are the same lines: a line whose audio never arrives is still a line the game says, in writing. `script.order` lists every key in the order a full round would hear them. Two speakers: **THE COMMISSIONER**, who reads from a minute-book, and **THE VAGANT**, who does not.

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