Freeze!

[behind_you]

messing around with sv_maxspeed gave me an idea. My mod to be is called Indignation and its hugely inspired by halflife and turok. Im making is continuous play just like halflife but i also want to include cutscenes. So im making a cvar that causes little black bars to appear on the top and bottom of the screen for the cinematic effect. Im also trying to temporarily disable all controls except for looking around. By making sv_maxspeed 0, the player cant move but im sure there's a way to disable certain controls directly. Any help?

turning the player into a tosser will stop them from having control over their movements, but they will suffer from gravity (like bounceless gibs)...

alternatively, use movetype_whateverthehellyouwantasitdoesntmatter and reset their origin in PlayerPostThink. Also clear out .impulse and .button* in PlayerPreThink or just ignore the values inside qc.
You can set their new origin to match the origin of some moving camera entity if you want.

The el-cheapo way would be to play a demo for the cutscene and set viewsize to 90 and then find the Quake tiling texture and replace it with a solid black texture.

[Note: I've never thought of seeing what viewsize does on a PSP and if it even works.]
