We have added a character model to the scene to play animations and make the cutscene look good. But you can skip that and try simpler cutscene actions.

3. ## Trigger the Cutscene

Create an empty gameobject and add the <mark style="color:blue;">**CutsceneTrigger**</mark> script to it.

You can find the CutsceneTrigger script from <mark style="color:blue;">Assets ► Non-Linear Dialogue & Cutscene System ► Prefab ► Trigger</mark>

In the CutsceneTrigger script, select **On Start** in the **Choose Trigger** field and drag the Cutscene created in the previous step to the Cutscene field. This will trigger the Cutscene when you start the game.

4. ## &#x20;Test the Cutscene

Run the game and test the cutscene you created.

We have only tried a few cutscene nodes in this quickstart tutorial, but you can try out the other nodes and see their result. The list of all the available nodes can be found [<mark style="color:blue;">here</mark>](/cutscene-system/documentation/nodes.md).

You can try triggering the cutscene using other methods. For example, you might want to trigger a cutscene when the player takes with the NPC, in that case, you can use the **On Trigger** or **On Trigger With KeyDown** options. Check out [<mark style="color:blue;">this page</mark>](/cutscene-system/documentation/cutscene-trigger.md) to learn more.

A great way to learn about the functionalities of this system is to check out the [<mark style="color:blue;">demo scenes</mark>](/cutscene-system/documentation/demo-scenes.md) that come with the asset and see how the demo cutscenes are created.&#x20;
