I'm writing a script so that when you approach a character, it plays a sound and freezes you in that spot. Here's what I have:

:always:state=1
:state=1,playerdistwithin=50:freeze the player,state=1
:state=2:sound=sound.wav,state=2
:state=3:unfreeze the player

However, I have no idea whatsoever if freezing the player is even possible, let alone what action it would be.

In bold=Never use this.....

In italics=Don't exist...

Assign this script to an invisible entity,and give it the name "freeze" without quotes, and it'll "freeze" the player in position for 15 seconds...(you'll have to activate it with a trigger zone first though)...

Doesn't this just keep looping and keep the player frozen forever?

best.

...I wondered about that, too.

Wouldn't the script be rendered useless once the entity was destroyed? If so, perhaps the player could use a switch, or shoot another entity to deactivate the locking effect?

It doesn't look like it would be looping because it requires it to be activated. And I think that if you ativate this with a zone then the zone would only activate this script once, unless you have the zone activate this script twice or more times then you could have it loop.

Hmm....

Just looked at it again, I think it will loop, I need someone to test it to be sure though,(I can't, this PC ain't got FPSC on it).....

Here's a theoretical version that can only be used once, freezes player for 15 seconds...

Well, it'll move the player to it, but it won't root the player there. Try this instead:




That should do it. The entity will permanently follow the plr around, then upon activating the freeze entity, the player will be unable to move for 15 seconds. After that, this entity will deactivate and be free to activate again if necessary.

NOTE: Do not use timers inside any other scripts in your game, as they will conflict with this one.

@Ply

Is it alright if I make a Mercenary style game with your mod, you know, get money for kills......

I was planning to make a game like this, and then saw on Gunn3rs forum that you were planning one too.... :/

That's perfectly fine! I only require that you use my latest mod.

I'd actually appreciate it if you did make it exactly like the one you had seen me announce, because I may not have enough free time to get it done.

Ok, it was pretty much the same, except the part about renting beds to restore health, but that was a good idea, so I'll use it.....

Thanks, expect a showcase thread soon....

Not use timers? Hm... That could be a major problem...

Yup, but if you use my Mod, you can have entity timers that will allow you to use timers in every entity (if you so desire).

I've been looking at that... It really sounds useful, but will it be included in the final release of Lemur?

Yes, it will. And if you purchase Lemur, that annoying little WaterMark will also disappear.

Or you can use the new PLRFREEZE command in update 1.09, provided that you don't use any source code mods.

Added new PLRFREEZE action. Set to 1 to hold plr in place, zero to release

AirMod 0.6 now has PLRFREEZE and PLRUNFREEZE commands. However I think I'll go ahead and remove the PLRUNFREEZE command and change it to be more compatible with stock (so bond's zombies and wizard should work properly).
