Alright I have two major questions on my hand. One serious, the other, not so much.

Alright, I will start off with the most problematic one: a script I developed. I basically wanted the player to enter a trigger zone, pause for 3000 milliseconds (approximately 3 seconds), reload his gun automatically, then the player can take control again.

Two problems:
1. After the player is 'frozen' by the trigger, he can't be unfrozen, even after 3000 ms has passed.
2. The guy doesn't automatically reload his gun.

HELP!
Here's the code:


and second question: I have noticed that I post a lot of questions
quite frequently. Does it irritate any of the admins or moderators?
Just want to know. Thanks!

Not sure kinda figuring out scripting myself. I starting to realize that once you get a basic idea, it slowly starts making more and more sense.
[/code]
:State=0:state=1
:state=1,plrwithinzone=1:plrfreeze=3000,state=2
:state=2 etc




Maybe this?

:state=1,plrwithinzone=1:state=2
:state=2:plrfreeze=3000,state=3
[code]

Now it just occurred to me is plrfreeze a condition as well as an action? Like timerstart and timergreater=x?
I'm sure someone will give u's both answers. I tried.

Pariah, Troutflies

I think the answer lies within using 'plrfreeze' with 'timers' in the script.
Check BlackFox's thread (link below) for the 'etimers and timers' section to get more information on how to set them up in a script.

look into the autosave-script, it does exactly what you want but autosaves instead of reloads the weapon.



edit: sorry, seems that autosave itself freezes the whole game for exactly 3 seconds. i thought it was scripted, but no action here delivers this. maybe you can integrate that feature into your game if you want to create some kind of a savezone.

Yes, Ross tra damus is right. You need to use a timer, then when the set time is up, you need to un-freeze the player. Like this;



I've tested this, it works. I also tried adding the reloadweapon action, but couldn't get that bit to work. So maybe someone else can help you with that part of the script...

(Edited to read couldn't instead of could!)

what did the final script look like.
Where did you place the timers?

@Troutflies:

The final script looked like this:


I got the player freeze snippet to work without the interjection of the timer.
However, in the time the player has frozen, I want him to reload the gun that he is holding, whether it be an M16, a pistol or a massive farting elephant, just to reload the gun the player currently has equipped.
