Player crouch

[tomppa84]

Is there a way to uncrouch the player with ACS? I have a cutscene where I want the player to stand up.

I'm not aware of a way to do this with pure ACS, but provided ZScript is available to you, you can use the following code and then leverage the ACS ScriptCall feature to call it:

Code: Select all

class Uncroucher : Object
{
    static void Uncrouch(int playerNumber)
    {
        if (playerNumber >= 0 && playerNumber < MAXPLAYERS && playeringame[playerNumber])
        {
            players[playerNumber].Uncrouch();
        }
    }
}

How to call the above code from ACS (assuming the player is the activator):

Code: Select all

script "UncrouchScript" (void)
{
    ScriptCall("Uncroucher", "Uncrouch", PlayerNumber());
}

Note that you will need to freeze the player beforehand; otherwise, if the crouch key is still being held, the player will switch to the crouch state again immediately after ScriptCall.

I get this error when I try this:

Code: Select all

Script error, "ozzy.pk3:zscript.txt" line 226:
Can't call play function Uncrouch from data context

Sorry, my bad. If you're already using ZScript in your project, you have probably added a version specifier in the beginning of your ZScript lump. Starting from a certain version, the default scope changed from play to data, so you need to explicitly specify that the Uncroucher class has play scope. Simply add play after class Uncroucher : Object, and it should work.

Now it works! Thank you!
