Avoid player from moving

[k i n g 0]

In the beginning of harvest red (mission first to fight), general (?) Armstrong makes a speech on the flight deck and the player has to listen, he is unable to walk away, he can only move his head.

Does anyone know how i can do this in a mission? i looked at the mission in the editor, but i did not found the condition. Maybe it is somewhere in the fsm-file, but i am unable to find it. a few weeks ago, i found a relating thread for OFP, but it did not meet the point. thanks in advance!

how about disableuserinput?

or maybe they just attached the player to something so he cant move but he can move the head

Could try 'disableAI "MOVE"'... might only work for AI though... xD

i think its done by using FSM, Not got a clue how to do it but im guessing its using some camera trickery :)

In an Intro or Outro you can only move your head as player (at least in OFP it was

like that).

You have to select that from the pull down options where there usually is set on Mission.

In OFP an intro or outro did only work in singleplayer not in multiplayer - in mp you had

to do them from inside the mission itself. ;)

forget about my attachTo sulotion, I remeber it wrong, you can move with that command but you are running on the same spot.

Perhaps not the most elegant way, but my only idea would be to set a display eventhandler on a pressed key via displayAddEventhandler (use this, not displaySetEventHandler), that handles the move keys while a certain condition is true.

Look at the example here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/displaySetEventHandler

thanks for the help.

@zigzag: "disableuserinput" is not that good, you can't do anything at all in this situation, i had to shut down my computer

@Chris Death: Hm... but it is not in the intro or outro.... it is all in the mission.

@Bon: ah ok, i will try this tonight or tomorrow

I think i know what they are using

Just looked in the mission folder and found they are using Enablesimulation.

check the C0b_setup script - I think its this part of the code that performs what you asking for

{_x useAudioTimeForMoves true} forEach _allParticipantsAll;;
{_x setCaptive true} forEach _allParticipantsAll;

["disableAI", _allParticipantsAll] call BIS_fnc_sceneSetBehaviour;
//{_nic = [nil, _x, rENABLESIMULATION, true] call RE; _x allowDamage false} forEach _allParticipantsAll;
{_x enableSimulation false; _x allowDamage false} forEach _allParticipantsAll;
// 2) SET characters to proper positions
BIS_zzRotateReady = false;
[_buildingpos, _buildingangle, _participants] call BIS_fnc_zzRotate;
WaitUntil{BIS_zzRotateReady};


// 1) RUN animation (initial position) 
_animReady = false;			
_animReady = [_allParticipantsAll, _allAnimations, nil, 1] call BIS_fnc_sceneSetAnimationsForGroup;
WaitUntil{_animReady};
//Sleep 2;
WaitUntil{(preloadSound "C0_I0_player") && (preloadSound "C0_I0_Sarge")};
{_x enableSimulation true} forEach _allParticipantsAll;
[]spawn

All the campaign's cut scenes and dialogs where you can't move use an animation.
