Freeze player in place

[Dr_Cox1911]

Have tried to use the search function, but couldn´t find anything related to this and I´m kinda lost here.

 

How could I lock the player to the current position he/she is standing on? Need this for a MP mod, when all clients clicked the dialog they should be able to move again.

One (brute force) approach that comes to mind would be constantly teleporting the player to his "current" coordinates.

I thought of that too, but wouldn´t that beat the performance down?

[RoboMat]

No idea to be frank. It shouldn't be too bad since no new tiles etc. need to be loaded?

getPlayer():setBlockMovement(true); will stop movement with keys (and controller, I think) but it won't stop context menu movement.

Thanks Brybry! I thought of a way to even permit the right-click movement by bounding the mouse to the dialog, but still need to get the hang of all this UI-stuff.

[Brybry]

local ISWalkToTimedAction_update_old = ISWalkToTimedAction.update;function ISWalkToTimedAction:update(...)    if instanceof(self.character, "IsoPlayer") and self.character:isBlockMovement() then        self:forceStop();        return;    end    return ISWalkToTimedAction_update_old(self, ...);endfunction freezePlayer()    getPlayer():setBlockMovement(true);    getPlayer():setPath(nil);endfunction unfreezePlayer()    getPlayer():setBlockMovement(false);end

Will work with right-click movement for most cases (they can still jump through windows if they're close enough though.)

Awesome Brybry! Works like a charm
