Misc Qs on Players

[jb]

Folks,

yeapper I am a newbie but have learned a lot of the last few days by reading on-line and looking at the .UC from the expanded package that came with UT. But I still have not found a good souce to show me what I want to do.

My goal was to mimic a freeze effect by locking the players movemt for a period of time. The freeze effect will last for a few seconds and they can not do anything except wait. I have set up a 3rd person cam to view the player while frozen. For the most part it works. However the frozen player can rotate (but not move). The bots will sometime stop, sometimes will stop and still play a running animation, or worse will still keep firing their weapon. So is there any UT .UC file that I might want to check or info you could help out with this little snafu?

make your own subclass of tournamentplayer.

Hmmmm,

I could do that. But thought there was an easier way. For example throwing the player in the "feigndeath" state almost works well...

how about modifing the ut shield to glow blue to represent being frozen

In your state set the velocity and acceleration in the function PlayerTick to 0

make an inventory item that makes the player bhidden (check the death functions for how to make it stop shoot) and spawns a tournamentplayer subclass (just a mesh) that uses the same mesh and skins as your player.
