how to prevent 2 things

[Wiki 1558]

Well, I want to prevent the player from accelerating time in some moments - for important dialogs for example.

Not all the time of course.

For example, when the player reaches the objective and the dialogs begins, I want the player not being able to accelerate time.

Concerning the second point, I just want to prevent 3rd pers view (or force 1st pers view) when the player is in a vehicle - just like Sarge Studio did in their "Deliverance" campaign.

And force the 1st pers view as soon as the player enters the vehicle - even if he was in 3rd pers view.

Start your dialog/cutscene with this:

disableAcctime = true;
[] spawn {
while {disableAcctime} do {
if(accTime != 1.0) then {setAccTime 1.0;};
Sleep 0.01;
};
}; 

And when the scene is over: disableAcctime = false;

you dont need a while loop running the whole time. Use a waitunitl together with sleep. It saves performance. You can reduce the sleep time.

The player can see just one sec the 3rd person. After a while, the players stop to try to switch in 3rd person :smile:

if (local player) then 
{
while {true} do { 
waituntil {sleep 1; (vehicle player != player) && (cameraView == "EXTERNAL")};
vehicle player switchCamera "INTERNAL";
};
};

But it's funny. Most servers do it this way, the the player can use 3rd person, when they are inside a vehicle and outside they have only 1st person.

Well, everything works fine now, just as I wanted.

Thank you all.
