Console Command: Unfreeze

This would be a "cheat" to unfreeze the player when he has been given the Playerpropety of froze or totallyfrozen he'll be able to move again.

For testing purposes mostly.

Well, most maps freeze the player for a good reason. If you were testing your own map, then just comment out the line that freezes the player.

Or to take this a step further, the ability to set or clear any actor property or player property from the console would be a great testing feature.

On the other hand, you could also just load a library that lets you do just that with a puke command...

Actually, Prop_TotallyFrozen and all the other player properties carry on to different levels. It's annoying.

That should be fixed!

Well, any well-written script will avoid this and it theoretically could have already been used to make the player frozen at the beginning of the next level, so fixing it now could break older wads.

The cheat would be nice though, just for testing purposes when changing your script would be too much hassle.

Yeah, I'd like this. There have been many times I've wanted to tweak a map slightly and had to sit through a frozen cutscene or something.

Haha, yeah, I've been in a few situations like this myself... after all, it's technically a cheat, so if it screws gameplay, who cares? XD

I've been in a co-op game before where a cutscene was occurring. During the cutscene for one player, another changed the map. The player who was frozen couldn't play the next map with the other players... he was still frozen.

Unfreeze would be confusing, since there's already a freeze command.

what do you suggest then (I'm out of ideas)

SetSelfProperty (Property) (Value)

Done. I agree, this is needed when testing maps that freeze the player.

yay, new cheat/debug command

Only as a cheat? What about the scenario I proposed?
