Freezing an object in place

[Smoot178 10]

An have vigorously went through the comref and I cannot find a freeze command.

I am simply trying to hold a vehicle in place from being moved/pushed out of where it is.

Attach it to a stationary object with attachTo.

Attach it to a stationary object with attachTo.

Tried that already, it doesn't actually work. I've tried that using a sandbag wall as the anchor.

Edit: And multiple other items.

It works on an helipad for example.

Drop a heli invisible called 'holder' down and put this in your vehicle's init:

this attachTo [holder,[0,0,2.5]];

Problem with this though it while it moves it'll rubberband back into position, then at least for a HMMWV, glitch and start bouncing.

Best to just lock the vehicle if you don't want people getting in it.

That works but like you said it bounces around.

And I am simply trying to make it static. I have already locked it :D

Just put a trigger around it by 1m that kills anything that comes close. ;)

Thats not what I am trying to do.

It is a C130 in an airfield that I do not want pushed around, I dont care if anyone gets close.

In trying to fix something else I found a nearly perfect fix for this issue.

Simply put this enableSimulation false; in the plane's init field. That sucker won't budge. Ram into it, shoot it, nuke it... it's not gonna bat an eyelash at you.

The draw back two fold. One, you cannot interact at all with it, no getting in or anything and two, if someone say, drives a MTVR into it, there's a high chance you'll get completely stuck under it. :) But the C-130 won't move!

Untested in MP, but in the Editor it worked how you imagine it.

What if one wanted to lock a vehicle with a player already in it for a short amount of time? I'm hoping to lock a vehicle with a player in it...kinda like a drag race starting line. I'd like the player to be able to rev the engine still, but have the vehicle help in place somehow.

The invisible h worked like described, but things bounce everywhere.
