Freeze through ACS

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Sat May 19, 2007 2:10 pm

Removing the time freezer is exactly what an 'unfreeze' ACS command would do as well. What's the problem.

The problem is that despite removing TimeFreezer from the player, the duration time is still active. So if I set a really high duration time, like 99999999, removing the TimeFreezer will have no effect and everything will freeze for a very very long time.

I'll come back to this thread with an example WAD for you to see.

Gah, silly me. I should have known that the correct way to disable the time freezer (or any powerup for that matter) is to remove "PowerTimeFreezer", not "TimeFreezer".

Obviously I have never worked with DECORATE powerups. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Here's the WAD anyway for anyone who wants to see a creative way to use the TimeFreezer powerup. I initially had the problem where the music would forced to be paused with the TimeFreezer active but I found out that reducing the duration prevents the music pausing, which is what I needed for my other WAD.
