Freezing a player to let the mapping load - Jay_Dixon - 18.12.2012

I have this falling threw the floor problem, that i've been trying to fix, and i thought "Hey, why not freeze the player?!"
Wellllllllllllllllllllll sadly that won't work. I have no idea what the hell i'm doing wrong in this one, normally i can figure problems out like this, but not this one :3

So that's what i got so far, as you can see, i set it to where the players not controllable, then it makes him controllable, but for some reason, it won't kick in, can someone tell me how to freeze a player for atleast 2 seconds?

Code:

				    if(PlayerInfo[playerid][pAdmin] >= 9999)//Jay's Special House - Brucie you want one? I'll even make one for Gonzalo too =D
				    {
				        GameTextForPlayer(playerid,"~w~Jay's House",1000,1);
				        SetPlayerInterior(playerid,5);
				        SetPlayerPos(playerid,2476.7161,1796.8595,1541.7156);
						TogglePlayerControllable(playerid,0);
				        SetTimer("StartPaintball",1000,0);
				        TogglePlayerControllable(playerid,1);
				        SetPlayerVirtualWorld(playerid,1337);
				        SetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid,0.0);
				        SetCameraBehindPlayer(playerid);
				        return 1;
					}
					else
					{
					    SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_LIGHTRED, "   You do not have permission to enter Jay's Lair of Doom!!");
					    return 1;
					}
				}

pawn Code:

TogglePlayerControllable(playerid,1);

Should be placed in an one second timer after you freeze them.

I have no experience freezing people like this. Think you can explain a bit more? XD

You should add a timer, for example like this:

pawn Code:

forward InteriorEntered(playerid); // On top of your script, belower than includes and definitions.

// Your script here
if(PlayerInfo[playerid][pAdmin] >= 9999)//Jay's Special House - Brucie you want one? I'll even make one for Gonzalo too =D
{
    GameTextForPlayer(playerid,"~w~Jay's House",1000,1);
    SetPlayerInterior(playerid,5);
    SetPlayerPos(playerid,2476.7161,1796.8595,1541.7156);
    TogglePlayerControllable(playerid,0);
    SetTimer("StartPaintball",1000,0);
    TogglePlayerControllable(playerid,false);
    SetPlayerVirtualWorld(playerid,1337);
    SetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid,0.0);
    SetCameraBehindPlayer(playerid);

    SetTimer("InteriorEntered",2000,0); // The timer here, you shouldn't put the last parameter to 1 because it will repeat the effect which we don't need to happen.
    return 1;
}

public InteriorEntered(playerid) return TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, true); // This is where the effect will take place, after the timer has ended, the effect will take place.

I hope you understand, and you can use the timer I provided because it's really needed after a player entered a mapped interior.

I take it your using a streamer for your objects? Since you cant fall through the object with CreateObject. So if your using the plugin use this function right before setting the players position:

pawn Code:

Streamer_UpdateEx(playerid, Float:x, Float:y, Float:z, worldid = -1, interiorid = -1)

Use the position, world and interior that you spawn the player at as function parameters. No need to freeze the player.

Works great! Now i can apply that to the rest of my custom interiors too, thanks =3

Re: Freezing a player to let the mapping load - Mike_Peterson - 18.12.2012

Why would you apply that to every custom interior?
As long as this custom interior is not the same as the interior of the entrance (outside interior = 0, inside e.g. = 5)
you can use public OnPlayerInteriorChange(playerid, newinteriorid, oldinteriorid)
and place the timer under there.

Just wondering if you are using the streamer plugin for your objects? You can cut the timer out if so. Not just that, but it will look smoother/faster for the player. I've used this method myself and it works, it loads the object before moving the player.

pawn Code:

if(PlayerInfo[playerid][pAdmin] >= 9999)//Jay's Special House - Brucie you want one? I'll even make one for Gonzalo too =D
{
    GameTextForPlayer(playerid,"~w~Jay's House",1000,1);
    Streamer_UpdateEx(playerid, 2476.7161,1796.8595,1541.7156, 1337, 5);//apply this line before setting the position to pre-stream the objects
    SetPlayerPos(playerid,2476.7161,1796.8595,1541.7156);
    SetPlayerInterior(playerid,5);
    SetPlayerVirtualWorld(playerid,1337);
    TogglePlayerControllable(playerid,0);
    SetTimer("StartPaintball",1000,0);
    SetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid,0.0);
    SetCameraBehindPlayer(playerid);
    return 1;
}
