Disabling Escape Button Options

[pliskin124 4]

Thanks for reading my thread!

 

I am trying to create a script that will disable a players Escape button options while they are serving jail time for friendly fire, then re-enable it once the cell door opens. This is to prevent them just respawning and circumventing their punishment.

 

I have searched through the forums and cannot find an option that actually works. I do not want to disable all of the players input so they can look out the window and communicate with others should they wish to see them.

 

Here is the current script which teleports the player to the jail cell and makes them sit for 5 minutes following their killing of a friendly unit:

 

playMusic "gameIntro";   
titleText ["Court Martial!","BLACK OUT",3];
player setPos (getPos Cell1);
Jail1 animate ["door_2_rot",0];
	removeAllWeapons player;
	removeAllItems player;
	removeAllAssignedItems player;
	removeVest player;
	removeBackpack player;
	removeHeadgear player;
	removeGoggles player;
	removeUniform player;
	player forceAddUniform "U_C_WorkerCoveralls";
titleText ["You must serve 5 minutes in jail","BLACK IN",4];
sleep 300;
enableSerialization;
if (!alive player) then  {((findDisplay 49) displayctrl 104) ctrlShow true;};
titleText ["Jail Time Served","WHITE IN",4];
Jail1 animate ["door_2_rot",1];
player addRating 2000;

Any assistance would be appreciated.

0 = [] spawn {
  waitUntil {!isNull findDisplay 46};
  findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler ["keyDown",{
    params ["_ctrl","_key"];
    private _h = false;
    if (_key == 156) then {_h = true};
    _h
  }]
};

Managed to dig around and find a solution for disabling the key... 

However I need to re-enable the escape key once the timer is up. Suggestions?

not tested now but I used something like this in the past to suppress pause menu:

 

  interrupt_EH_index = ( [ missionNamespace, "OnGameInterrupt", 
  {
   _this # 0 closeDisplay 2;
  }] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler );

 

here the code to allow it:

[ missionNamespace, "OnGameInterrupt", interrupt_EH_index ] call BIS_fnc_removeScriptedEventHandler;

Yeah I came across one of your old posts in the past but it didn't seem to work. 

The one above seems to be working I just can't for the life of me figure out how to re-enable the escape key

displayAddEventHandler returns the id number or -1 if it fails, store that into a variable then use displayRemoveEventHandler to delete it:

(findDisplay 46) displayRemoveEventHandler ["KeyDown", _id];

 idk what you think what you tested but this works flawlessly in debug console:

[] spawn
{

  interrupt_EH_index = [ missionNamespace, "OnGameInterrupt", { _this # 0 closeDisplay 2; } ] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler;

  hint "menu allowed in 6";
  sleep 2;

  hint "menu allowed in 4";
  sleep 2;

  hint "menu alowed in 2";
  sleep 2;

 [ missionNamespace, "OnGameInterrupt", interrupt_EH_index ] call BIS_fnc_removeScriptedEventHandler;

 hint "menu allowed now";

};

I did some digging in the config and I found that the pause menu is display ID 49 and it's name in the config is "RscDisplayInterrupt". The following works in debug console:

((findDisplay 49) displayCtrl 2) ctrlEnable false; //Disable "CONTINUE" button

But when I tried putting more code around it to make it automatic, it stopped working. It seems SQF gets paused as well when the Interrupt menu opens

What are your current respawn settings? Depending on this will determine if any of the following settings are available.

respawnButton

setPlayerRespawnTime

Figured it out. Full script for anyone interested in a friendly fire script. Credit to pierremgi for assisting in DM's!

Create a ME Guard House from CUP with the jail cell, name it Jail 1, create an invisible helper object in the cell name it Cell1

Trigger Condition: (rating player) < -1000
On Activation: nul = ExecVM "FriendlyFire.sqf";

titleText ["Court Martial!","BLACK OUT",3];
player setPos (getPos Cell1);

player setVariable ["inJail", true];

[] spawn {
  waitUntil {!isNull findDisplay 46};
  findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler ["keyDown",{
    params ["_ctrl","_key"];
   if (!(player getVariable ["inJail",TRUE])) then {findDisplay 46 displayRemoveEventHandler ["keyDown",_thisEventHandler]};
    private _h = false;
    if (_key == 1) then {_h = true};
    _h
   }]
};


Jail1 animate ["door_2_rot",0];
	removeAllWeapons player;
	removeAllItems player;
	removeAllAssignedItems player;
	removeVest player;
	removeBackpack player;
	removeHeadgear player;
	removeGoggles player;
	removeUniform player;
	player forceAddUniform "U_C_WorkerCoveralls";
titleText ["You must serve 2 minutes in jail","BLACK IN",4];
sleep 120;

player setVariable ["inJail", false];

titleText ["Jail Time Served","WHITE IN",4];
Jail1 animate ["door_2_rot",1];
player addRating 2000;
