Freeze player,play sequence,destroy marker - thats how it works
I want to freeze Garrett for a minute or more and I know it works with the Script TrapFreezePlayer and timing. But, I also know, that when the Player push any key or just Enter on his keyboard, he can move again.
I'd played an Fm(forgot which one it was) where I could press a key but couldn't move Garrett again after the time was over. Can please someone tell me how does it work?
thx
EDIT
Huups, wrong place, should be for Dromed and T2, sorry!

Ok, so after it starts(by a concrete roombrush for example) I have to destroy it?! I will try this, thanks!

Use TrapKillEvents as this is much more flexible:
1000 - Allow mouse movement.
0100 - Allow mouse buttons.
0010 - ??? (Joystick, maybe)
0001 - Allow keyboard.
Go with intruder's advice. You may have been thinking of the pub scenes in DP2, and I used TrapKillEvents in that case to disable all mouse movement and buttons. I think I still allowed keyboard so the user could hit Esc to get to the menu if they wanted.
Hi Intruder, can I send you a pm/pn in the german forum?Originally Posted by intruder

A pub scene in Dp2? I can't remember
It doesn't matter. Just go with TrapKillEvents.
I followed the link but I don't understand, where I have to enter the nummer(s) 1000 oder 0100?
Do I need a QVarTrap for this?
Basso
Sure!
No, just go for "Editor -> Design Note" and then:
"event_mask=1000" (example)
I used this setup in "Complicated Cargo" to freeze the player during the ingame cutscenes.
Also, be aware that the four digits are a bitmask. So you can use 1100 to enable both mouse movement and buttons, for example.
Just out of curiosity, can you use decimal number equivalents for the bitmask? for example, instead of
event_mask=0011
can you use
event_mask=3
?
The way the documentation is written, that works from a qvar ("If the parameter is read from a quest variable, the binary bits of the integer are used" -- low order bits assumed but not so stated)
event_mask=myqvar
but does it work in general?
and also the documentation states "The event mask is a binary string representing the events to disable." which would have led me to think that the way to specify it would be
event_mask="0011"since without the quotes it's not a string.

Ok, thanks!
@Yandros
Ok so I can combine the numbers.
But I'm curious, you said, you disable mouse movement and Button and allowed Keyboard, so it wasn't your intension to freeze the player?
I would have to check - I probably did disable keyboard as well, but I'm not sure. I may have left keyboard enabled (so they can exit to menu) but PhysAttached the player to a marker so they can't move around.
