[Help] Disable escape options when killed

[bumyplum 10]

Is there a way to disable a players abort button whilst the player is dead then activate it again once they're alive?

[Mr H. 402]

//in your
//description.ext

onPauseScript = "script.sqf";


//In
//script.sqf

disableSerialization;

if (!alive player) then  {((findDisplay 49) displayctrl 104) ctrlShow false;};

Might work (untested)

Another method is keyDown EH. @Mr H.'s method makes sense and is easier.

I'm wanting it to be executed through a button ingame

[Mr H. 402]

What do you mean?

[bumyplum 10]

Something i could put into a debug console

[Mr H. 402]

You mean as an option you can toggle on and off? It's doable but takes more work.

[bumyplum 10]

Yeah, Thats what i'm looking for

[Mr H. 402]

you can try that it should add a button to toggle it on and off at the bottom of your pause screen if you are a logged in admin.
EDIT: Tested at home,works fine, you'll have to resize reposition the button though.

If for some reason, someone will need to disable (by default) abort button while the player is ace unconscious, you need to replace the last line:

if (!alive player) then {((findDisplay 49) displayctrl 104) ctrlShow false;};

with this:

if (player getVariable "ACE_isUnconscious" isEqualTo true) then  {((findDisplay 49) displayctrl 104) ctrlShow false;};

 

I needed to do it for punishing players who are abusing the lack of saving ace unconscious players by GRAD Persistence
