[EO 3.0] (Un)Freeze Player during Events

[lcarens]

Good evening,

I am looking for a way to prevent the player from moving while an event is in process. I considered adding a check for InEvent to the movement sub, but I would prefer to be able to toggle the movement abilities manually. How would I go about doing so?

I assume I could add a switch of some type and toggle it with the Custom Script command, but I am not sure where to get started. I would prefer hints towards what I should do rather than a solution, but if someone wishes to code it for me then I won't be complaining.

Another slightly off topic question is: Can I output a player variable in the Add Text command?

Thanks in advance,

Lcarens

If you mean don't walk for specific events then make an option for each event like "Can Player Move while In Progress?" 

Then on client side if the player is in and event and if the event has got movement disabled then don't move. This is some  air code

```
CanMove as byte ' 0 = No, 1 = Yes

--

If InEvent then
if not event.canmove = 0
canplayermove = true
end if
end if

```

The problem with using InEvent is that it doesn't work for most of my events. In most of the cases that I wish for someone to not be able to move, I am using the chatbox to display text instead of the event text box.

It doesn't matter how you show a certain data as long as you can set InEvent to true. When a chat message is sent and if the event has set CanMove to false then just set InEvent = true and it'll work. Just make sure the client sets it to true as well.
