Pausing the player with Graalscript!
 

I think it would be useful if a command was added that literally pauses the player as if he or she pushed "p". That way I and others can make custom message displays; using freezeplayer doesn't protect the player from attacks of any kind.

lol, use disablepause
then script your own pause system

and use disabledefmovement =)

You missed entirely what I said didn't you? I already knew about disablepause, etc. I want a command that will pause the player as if they pushed "p". I know how to lock the player, most people that can script NPCs do :p To actually make them invincible is another thing and doing playerhearts=playerfullhearts or whatever doesn't do what I want...they still get hurt and move.

Do the damage and such serverside and check for 'playerpaused'.

use keypressed, strequals(#p(1),p)) and have a var keep track of the pause/unpaused and do what you want to the player while the var is true or somethin

Like Cybnext said, you just need to script your own damage system.

Having to rescript a damage system just for the purpose of pausing a player is lame.

I have an idea....that should be in a new topic...
hhmmm.

You don't need to; you could always use the built-in pause. But if you want to customise your server and suchlike then you need to learn to script.

actually, I just want something like 'pauseplayer' :p I already have somewhat of a custom damage system...the only problem is, getting around the engine's built-in animation checking. Every time the player swings their sword, the engine checks for that animation and then does whatever it needs to after that. Other than that, I already have it sending out triggeraction because I do a few things when 'S' is pushed :)

There must be some way to get around that. Use a different gani for sword striking if necessary.

nada...doing replaceani sword,<newgani> doesn't change anything. Graal still reads it as sword :(

Then rescript the swinging of the sword.

o, lol, i just figured that you wasn't using regular damage system

lol, :)

Indeed. Aren't you even using disabledefmovement, Yoshi?

:)
G...
