initplayerlocal and passing playerobject properly?

[mindbl4ster 10]

hi there,

i tried various ways to handle this problem but nothing works as it should and now i do need help with it.

my intention is to pass the playerobject from the initplayerlocal.sqf to a function that should freeze him after spawning.

but actually i get the error that the function does not get the right form of parameters ?!

can somebody help me out with it please ?

thanks!

initplayerlocal.sqf:

_localplayer = [_this select 0];
[_localplayer ,true] call mbicr_fn_freeze;

fn_freeze:
private ["_listOfUnits","_conditionMovement"];

_listOfUnits = _this select 0;
_conditionMovement = _this select 1;

hint format ["%1, %2", _listOfUnits, _conditionMovement];	
if (_conditionMovement) then { 
{ _x disableAI "ANIM"; 
  _x enableSimulation false; 
  cutRsc ["default", "BLACK", 20];
} foreach _listOfUnits; 
} else {
{ _x enableAI "ANIM"; 
  _x enableSimulation true; 
  cutRsc ["default", "PLAIN",1];
} foreach _listOfUnits; 
};

_localplayer is a unit and your function expects an array of units. So just put square brackets around _localplayer in the call line to turn it into a singular array.

i converted _localplayer already to an array in the first line of code?

_localplayer = [_this select 0];

edit: ok ... now i do not get any error, but the function still does not work :(

Oh excuse me, I missed that in haste. Looking over it again, I'm just as confused as you are. The only thing I can really think of is that something is confusing the parser. What does

fn_freeze:

do?

It seemed to work fine when I tested it by defining the function on top of initPlayerLocal.sqf.

How do you define the function? Looking at the function name you're not using the Functions Library? Should be mbicr_fnc_freeze if you are.

@magirot: thanks for pointing this out ... now it works like a charm :)

If you want to have that unit to be frozen forever, you could simply use the "createVehicle" command as it creates a unit sort of like a mannequin ("lifeless").

@waltenberg: thanks for advice but my intention is to freeze the player in a tdm mission until a startsignal (unfreeze) comes from the server. that way i can be sure every player has finished loading the mission and gets the startsignal at the exact same time.

I see. Nevermind then. ^_^
