I am planning a highly interactive map, which will include some player manipulation.

I have been able to do many different things similar to this in sp with no problems what so ever, but this weekend i soon discovered just how nerfed the MP engine is. Allowcrouch,allowprone,playerlinkto,lerp,.... all the fancy player commands are undefined.

I was wondering if anyone has found a duct tape method to do these three things:

1. move the player relative to the world (small distances, otherwise it will look horrible in 3p)

2.rotate the player relative to the world, while still maintaining the ability to look around.

3. restrict the ability to change stances, or even better force them to go to the no animation at all for a time period. (like they are just the body/head xmodel, no idles)

now it is your turn to tell me just how much of this is possible, and how much is not.

let the comments begin!
