Steps to reproduce

Do WoTG mission 4: Queen of the Dance

Expected behavior

It should progress thru the cutscenes starting with CS 70 finishing with 153, however after one of the segments it stops at black screen and does not progress.
Clicking on Lion Spring door expecting to resume only yield response: "The Door is firmly shut."

This is a friendly automated reminder that the maintainers won't look at your report until you've properly completed all of the checkboxes in the pre-filled template.

Just to rule it out, make sure no plugins are running that alter framerate or automates cutscene progression. Such things have been known to cause clientside issues with cutscenes in the past.

[apatrickm]

This is happening with and without plugins and on a fresh pull, and fps is default.

Which part is it not showing? Is it getting through the performances? Showing Cait Sith's appearance after the show? Him running down the alley?

Not sure which scene is which number... might help them narrow it down with a bit more info.

One key piece of useful info may be the state of the ticket. Looks it is removed when the mission progress advances to 4 and calls the last CS event

[apatrickm]

Obtained ticket got the first Cs that gets you thru the door, but the one where you discuss the 3 dancers and their performance doesn't start

[RAIST5150]

Looking at the captures discord, it sounds like 70 is starting properly for you (scene where they reject your old ticket, Ragelise speaks up for you and gets you in).

152 looks like the performances, 153 the post show stuff back outside.

There may be a mismatch on the mission status... looks like it needs to progress to 3 to start 152, 4 to start 153. If this is not getting updated properly, or otherwise not getting read properly onZoneIn, it will not trigger the additional cutscenes.

About as far as I am able to read into it (just a player with a reputation for breaking stuff). Server admin can check mission status values for confirmation and what not... a dev would need to review/test the code step by step to isolate where it may be going off the rails.

Need to edit the original post on this to properly check that third box to make the bot happy and all... as it stated, this will hold up progress:

Just found out this today, the issue is firstly because on line 69

missionStatus == 2

in the conditional check, then inside the scope of that theres 2 other checks on line 79

if missionStatus == 3 then
    return mission:progressEvent(152)
elseif missionStatus == 4 then
    return mission:progressEvent(153)
end

which won't fire because of the initial check == 2, so changing line 69 to

return currentMission == mission.missionId and missionStatus >= 2

fixes that part, then lines 80 and 82, the other issue, after some experimenting

return mission:progressEvent(152) and return mission:progressEvent(153)

do not work, I can't lie and say I understand why because I dont, and I'm fairly new to lua, but changing them to just

if missionStatus == 3 then
    return 152
elseif missionStatus == 4 then
    return 153
end

Fixes the mission. I can't say whether it breaks anything else, but it allows progression to the next mission, so its a start.

This isn't specific to this issue but other missions have the same issue. If you get stuck in between (due to lost connection or server crash) and you can't replicate the specific requirements (zoning in at a very specific location because completing a mission BC fight sends you there) you end up being unable to progress.

Say you are required to defeat a mission foe where you obtain the completion status AFTER you're teleported out of the BC and zone into a zone at a specific spot. You are awarded the kill but you disconnect before the teleport, you are now stuck from progressing further.

I've seen this issue happen on the black coffin mission and a GM command was needed to push the player to the next mission. When I looked into it (this happened to my son), the problem looked just like the code above so this will be an issue through most of the missions I'm sure and I guess any quests that have similar logic.

I did find a similar issue in "Purple, the new black" Wotg mission, I'll post it in a separate issue thread explaining it and the potential solution.
