This guide will teach you how to add different attributes to a cutscene. Many cutscenes are already good, but many can also be upgraded.

Now, for example, if this map were bigger, and a better background, and had many people and objects, this guide would be useful to do it:

This guide WILL be updated as there can be more and more attributes to add to a cutscene. What we are going start off with is showing the camera around to examine a map. We can accomplish this task by doing 2 things. Making MegaMan or Lan invisible, and being able to walk through walls.

I have developed a simple cheat to do this:
32009F40 0001
32009F4C 0000

But I will be teaching you actually how to do it. Okay, so first, we're going to use the RAM to do these tasks. Go to the RAM offset 2009F40 16-bit. All of our work will be done here.

Okay, do you see the 16-bit value 0003? That value means that the current player(Lan or MegaMan) is visible to the screen. 0002 is also a visibility value. Now, if you change that value to an 0001, you should be invisible!

Now, Lan is invisible, yay. Run around ACDC town thinking its like a real cutscene showing around cutscene. Well, now we've got this, run to Sky Town to the upper floor. Uh-oh, how are we going to, like, run through all these obstacles? I've got just the things!

Walk through walls! Now, we'll be working on the same line.

After the set of 0004 0004, is your lucky value, 0001! Change that value to a simple 0000. Now, walk around Sky Town thinking its a real cutscene. Be careful of some spots, when you walk on to them, you change layers and it practically ruins the scene.

Now, you've got an invisible Lan who can walk through steel walls... How about when the camera points back to Lan? What we do here is create a fake object posing as Lan. So, we the camera is done, and the scene fades in and out, record playing as the Real Lan.

This is what I've got so far. Request some attributes you'd like, and I'd be happy to add it.
