Author Topic: Freeze Time  (Read 993 times)

This is more of a personal need than anything else.

So the idea is that you want to make a movie or something and you want to get a killer shot of the character jumping off of something or you want to take a picture of the same thing.

I don't know if it's exactly possible but it'd be pretty damn useful.

IMAGINE A WHOLE SERVER FIGHTING THEN FREEZING IT AND TAKING DOF SCREENSHOTS OF THE SECOND YOU FROZE IT. BULLETS AND ROCKETS EVERYWHERE, EXPLOSIONS, BRICKS, SHADOWS.

Yeah. :I


If you were to use it in a server, players would start to get annoyed because an admin keeps freezing the game.

agreed but good suggestion

Well, only hosts could use it. It could be abused but urgghh it's needed.

This has been contemplated forever, whether an add-on should be made because of its abusiveness.  People need to get over abuse.

God dammit every add-on suggested someone comes and says it's abusable

Jeeps are abusable they run people over.
Guns are abusable they kill people.
The chat is abusable you can hurt someones feelings.

With this logic everything is abusable.
If the host is too stupid to enable it, it's his problem.

This quote was taken from a topic on the first page today in suggestions and requests expressing my same opinion.  If something is abusive, then it should be the admins that keep people from abusing it.  If the admins are the ones abusing it, then the players need to get the forget out of that server because it obviously is not quality enough to exist.


It could be abused

This doesn't matter. Litterally EVERYTHING in blockland can be abused if done right.

Just like anything in life can kill you.

An admin can already destroy everyone's bricks, ban people for stupid reasons, and spy on them like creeps. Don't pretend like they can't already abuse.

If this were made a prompt should show up that lets you choose if you want to stay frozen so if you are creating a great shot of someone and there's another person building somewhere off to the side that person doesn't have to wait ages for it to be restored

/timescale 0 would be pretty cool.

It could just be client-sided.
