Global 'enableSimulation'

[lemondragon 10]

Hey there everyone.

I have this problem:

I am using

_target enableSimulation false

to freeze players (in multiplayer), the user freezing the other players sees the other person frozen, but the frozen person can just walk around.

I figured out the problem: "This command only works locally and must be run on all machines to have global affect.". The problem is, I can't find out how to use it correctly, so it's running globally.

Any help is appreciated ;)

Im no pro but i believe what enableSimulation false is doing is stopping the client from being synced across the server by well disabling there simulation if you want to freeze a player in MP try using the disableUserInput command instead

Hi,

put this into your init.sqf

fn_enableSimulation = {

(_this select 0) enableSimulation (_this select 1);

};

Then you call it during the mission using BIS_fnc_MP.

enableSimualtion false:

[[_target, false], "fn_enableSimulation"] call BIS_fnc_MP;

And back to true:

[[_target, true], "fn_enableSimulation"] call BIS_fnc_MP;

Nope it does exactly what he wants, it disables all physics, so to speak, for the given object. Not sending updates across the network is a side effect of that.

disableUserInput is never a good idea.

If the player was holding down W at the time you disable his keyboard he will keep running forever. Very unpleasant command to use. ALT+F4 is the only way out then.

I was about use that command, when I saw a post on the forums saying that it is discouraged to use that command.

@sxp2high

Thanks a lot , I will test this out tomorrow!
