Hello Everyone,
I have been working call of duty scripting and editing tools for a little while(off and on for about 3 years). I am in a stump though. I am trying to script a conversation between friendly AI. I have recorded my own voice and what I want to happen is have a friendly AI(Commanding Ofiicer) give me the layout of my mission once the loading screen disappears. I want my player to be frozen in place until the friendly AI is done talking. I have looked for tutorials helping me with this but the only thing that comes close is the original COD tut. that you have to run into a script you made for the friendly AI. I have successfully done this and it works but I dont want to do this anymore. I want to be able to listen to someone tell me an order once i start up my map and have me be frozen and forced to listen to his order.

If anyone has any tips on how I may be able to do this please reply back to me.

Thank you for your time,
s6robi.

Make it so player cant move in cod4 and codwaw would be

freezecontrols_all( true );

to make it so player couldnt move

freezecontrols_all( false );

make it so he could move again

Should be the same in cod2

Spawn a script_origin and link the player to it. The player will still be able to look around, just not move.

freezecontrols_all is a utility function for cod5 coop. it performs the parser function freezecontrols on all clients:

freezecontrols_all( toggle, delay )
{
	if( IsDefined( delay ) )
	{
		wait( delay );
	}

	players = get_players(); 
	
	for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
	{
		players[i] FreezeControls( toggle ); 
	}
}

use [entity] freezecontrols([true/false] ); in other CoD versions


clanhelio's suggestion:

// assuming "player" as the player entity
org = spawn("script_origin", player getorigin());
org.angles = player getplayerangles();
player linkto(org);

// do stuff here

player unlink();
org delete();

Thank you all so much! This is exactly what I wanted and it has helped me out greatly.
