Why is my cutscene not working?

So im making an intro cutscene sort of thing for my game,

(THIS IS NOT ADVERTISING I PROMISE)
how it works is that the lifecycle sends a signal to the camera point which then uses the camera view to keep you in the black box, then the triggers get to working and slowly cycle through the text using the delays and channels. However, sometime when I try to test it, it just doesn’t do it and goes on with the regular game, which completely ruins it. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Are you on Chromebook or what?

Use a screen record, start recording, download the finished video, go to a gif maker, and BAM.

Yes

Okay, then press Ctrl, Shift, and the desktop button at the same time:

The select the screen recording button, looks like a camera, and press the arrow to the right of the words “Record video” and select Record GIF.
Beware, though, it cannot be over 4MB in file size…

So you spawn into complete darkness in the lobby?

Can I see the settings of the two spawn pads?

Ye, it’s for a cutscene…
It makes the text show up and directs the gamer’s attention to one area.
I have one in my Star wars map beginning.

Check the triggers
Do they have a delay?
Are their channels the channel that ends the cutseen?

Ye, and what I was thinking is that the spawn pad that is not in the dark area shouldn’t be there…
It probably conflicts with the other one, making it the default spawn place.
@UnityHavoc
Delete the second spawn pad and tell me if it works then…

The second one is for the actual game itself, the one in the black room is just a pre-game lobby that tells you to start the game

So the cutscene is for the pre game?
Edit: Nevermind. IC now…

@UnityHavoc
Can I see the settings for your triggers please?

Hmmmm
I normally never say this but
Maybe try placing a trigger under the spawn pad (game, not pre-game) that activated the cutseen
