You need to change the player's datablock to one that cannot move.

Right then.
I'm just trying to make a player have a sort of "sleep" mode where they can't move.
k thanks for the help guys

Woah! Epiphany. There is another way.
You know if you get smoked in ZAPT, your camera orbits your player but it can't move?
This is how.
--- Code: ---// Funct: Sets the client camera to orbit the %obj.
// Sends: void
function Armor::zombieCameraSpectate(%this, %obj)
{
if(isObject(%obj))
{
%client = %obj.client;
if(isObject(%client))
{
%transform = %obj.getTransform();
%client.camera.setOrbitMode(%obj, %transform, 0.5, 8, 8, 1);
%client.camera.mode = "Orbit";
%client.setControlObject(%client.camera);
}
}
}
--- End code ---
Return control to player.
--- Code: ---if(isObject(%client))
{
%client.setControlObject(%client.player);
}
--- End code ---
If you need any further detail of how this functions, just speak up.

Not that this is a bad or thing, or that you do not have the right or do not deserve to but you really love you ZAPT addon. Also that pretty cool way of doing it.

I remember when I had an epiphany like that.
thanks a bunch. :cookieMonster:
question: What role does the variable %this play in that function? :o

ZAPT packages almost every function a novice modder will need or want to package.
It contains dozens and dozens of really nifty tricks.
It's a resource.
